Hon. Elaine L. Chao, Bay Buchanan, and tour of DC at night



Today I left my hotel room around 9:00 AM to head over to the final day of the CPAC conference. The first speaker that I heard this morning was the Hon. Elaine Chao who is Senator McConnell's wife and she is the former Secretary of Labor. I found her speech to be very motivating and she was talking about what her role was as the Secretary of Labor and how the economy can be fixed.





Next I headed off the the exhibit hall to pick up a book that Joe the Plumber wrote and I got him to sign the book and take a photo with me and him together. Joe the Plumber is a very nice person and he was talking a little bit about how he became famous and he had a quote that I like "actions not words". I also took Russell over to get his book and for Russell to have a chance to get a photo of Joe the Plumber.





After I got done with going to the book signing, I headed over to see Ann Coulter speak but had to see her speak in an overflow room as she is very popular.







I was not able to stay for her whole speech as I needed to head over to another ballroom for the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute luncheon where Bay Buchanan spoke about attitudes in the workplace and how to get a campus activist organization started. Her speech was very nice and she did an excellent job of motivating the crowd.


In the late afternoon, I left to go and see the sights of Washington, DC at night....the Lincoln Memorial was very cool as was getting to see the White House and Capital. We even got to eat at a Greek restaurant on Capital Hill.
