BUSH AFRAID TO VISIT SAN FRANCISCO

BUSH KEEPS S.F. AT BAY / President hasn't participated in 75-year tradition of visiting city -- and he has no plans to do so

"Washington -- Presidential visits to San Francisco have been a tradition since Rutherford Hayes lunched at the Cliff House in 1880.

Presidents arrived by stagecoach and jet. One was shot at. Another died. In all, 20 presidents have visited the city, including every chief executive for the past 75 years.

Except George W. Bush."

WHY?


"Editor -- It is no mystery why President Bush refuses to visit San Francisco. He hates us for our freedom.
