Random Bush Sightings Give Challenge Coordinators Hope
SAINT PAUL, Minn.--(Business Wire)--
Brilliant yet modest software developer CodeWeavers, Inc., is
poised to provide free software for every American if President Bush's
policies can help the Dow Jones Industrial Averages (DJIA) surpass its
2008 high of 13,058 by year's end.

Such an achievement is part of Saint Paul-based CodeWeavers Great
American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge (lameduck.codeweavers.com),
which the company launched to inspire President Bush to make the most
of the remaining days of his office by accomplishing a major economic
or political goal by January 20, 2009.

Given the bizarre and dire economic crisis unfolding across the
nation CodeWeavers - whose software lets Mac OS X and Linux users run
Windows programs - is adding the DJIA goal to the five goals it
originally unveiled during the challenge's launch two months ago:

-- Reduce gas prices to $2.79 per gallon

-- Reduce the average price of a gallon of milk to $3.50

-- Create at least one net job in the U.S. this calendar year

-- Return the median home price to its Jan. 1, 2008 level

-- Bring Osama Bin-Laden to justice

Once Bush meets a goal, CodeWeavers will offer its software for
free to the public for 24 hours on the first day of the following
month. For more contest details visit lameduck.codeweavers.com.

"Good citizens of the United States, and those here on H-1B
visas," said Jeremy White, president of CodeWeavers," when we launched
the CodeWeavers Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge, we
offered what we considered ambitious but reachable goals for President
Bush. We're confident he's working hard on reaching at least one of
these important milestones. Now, as all eyes are on the stock market
and the economy, we offer yet another opportunity for the president to
cement his legacy."

"Last week as the entire American financial system collapsed
around us, I was eating a bag of Old Dutch potato chips in my kitchen
and I swear I heard President Bush on the television talking about the
crisis," said White. "I spit out the chips and ran into the living
room, but unfortunately, I was too late and the station was airing a
commercial about some reality show that takes place in a mansion.

"So, while I can't be sure President Bush actually was doing
anything about the economic crisis, it gave me hope that he is at
least somewhat aware of what is happening here in the final days of
his glorious term. And, if he's aware of the economy, I'm excited that
he may actually be doing something to whip the nation back into shape.
And, you know what that means: 'Ding - Ding - Ding,' free software for
all."
