President Bush visited the swing state of Iowa on Monday to sign the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004, which he said would mean lower tax bills for 94 million Americans.
"It comes at just the right time for America. Some of the provisions were set to expire at the end of 2004 ..." he said. "That would have been a setback for hardworking families of America and a setback for our economy."
Bush introduced Mike and Sharla Hintz, a couple from Clive, whom he said benefited from his tax plan.
Last year, because of the enhanced the child tax credit, they received an extra $1,600 in their tax refund, Bush said. With other tax cuts in the bill, they saved $2,800 on their income taxes.
They used the money to buy a wood-burning stove to more efficiently heat their home, made some home improvements and went on a vacation to Minnesota, the president said.
"Next year, maybe they'll want to come to Texas," Bush quipped.
Mike Hintz, a First Assembly of God youth pastor, said the tax cuts also gave him additional money to use for health care.
He said he supports Bush's values.
Fast forward to today

Pastor Charged With Sexual Exploitation Of Child
First Assembly Of God Church Fires Reverend
POSTED: 6:49 am CST December 7, 2004
UPDATED: 6:58 am CST December 7, 2004
DES MOINES, Iowa -- A Des Moines youth pastor is charged with the sexual exploitation of a child.
KCCI learned that the married father of four recently turned himself in to Johnston police.
Rev. Mike Hintz was fired from the First Assembly of God Church, located at 2725 Merle Hay Road, on Oct. 30. Hintz was the youth pastor there for three years.
Police said he started an affair with a 17-year-old in the church youth group this spring.
Church officials fired Hintz immediately after hearing the allegations.
"They did acknowledge with their congregation that Mr. Hintz had made apparently some admissions to his inappropriate activity, and they took a proactive approach and immediately terminated him from his position," Johnston police Sgt. Lynn Aswegan said.
Neither Hintz nor his attorney returned KCCI's calls.
Two men or two women being in love is wrong - We the Christina right are the upholders of moral values! I mean - just look out our leadership for proof of that, er, or better yet don't. Move along, nothing to see here.

Well I have to admit Dback does try to find everything wrong he can with Bush even when things are really pretty unrelated. You don't think Kerry or any other former president had coincidences like these?
I like you Dback but I always take what you say in the political forum with a grain of salt. If lets say Bush was pro gay and Kerry had been against gays you probably would have been a Bush supporter. I don't really blame you either but I think it does really influence your opinion on everything Bush does even the things you might agree with him on if he were pro gay....

Bush's hatred of gays is only a drop in the bucket - his talibanizing of America, his destruction of the Environment, his general stupidity all play a large part.

Well heck! Lets vote da bum outta office...er wait....
that the child in question was the same gender as the pastor?
openly gay people don't do these things - it's the REPRESSED closeted ones that do.
This is America's sickness.
Bush can't predict the behavior of everyone he meets - to be fair to him.

This was with a female....
Police said he started an affair with a 17-year-old woman in the church youth group this spring.
who do i pay?
I can't say i blame him for THAT - she probably lied and told him she was 18.
Oh... he's married?
That's right - the gays would make a mockery of marriage...

According to your article, he was removed from his position back in October.
Of course this is another excellent way of lowering income taxes. Right up there with getting arrested and sent to prison for relations with a minor. Excellent fiscal responsibility.
