The White House
Remarks by the President To Workers at Harley Davidson Factory Harley Davidson Factory Lunch Room Menomonoee Falls, Wisconsin
1:15 P.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: I really
appreciate your hospitality. First of all, I'm really
impressed by the quality of the workers who are here. It's
obviously reflected in the quality of the product. Harley
Davidson is uniquely American. People love
them. And some people are bold enough to drive them, and
some of us aren't. (Laughter.) I'm hitting the
speed limit this year, 55. (Laughter.)
But I really appreciate your hospitality,
and letting us come by and say hello. I can't tell you how
great it is to be the President of the greatest country on the face of
the Earth. (Applause.) I thank all the -- there
are more people than I can think that impress me. One of the
things that impressed me, besides people's friendliness, is the number
of people that said, "I pray for you and your family." For
those of you that do that, thanks. It really is something
unique about America -- you don't have to show me the party
registration card --
It's really one of the fabulous parts of
the job. People from all walks that really care enough about
the presidency that they will do that. I'm just going to keep giving
it my best shot. I'm not going to try to figure out which
way the wind is blowing -- all come down and visit me in
Texas. (Applause.)
