WASHINGTON, DC -- "We stand now on the brink of the future, together which we go at the side of the Hydro American whom has always been there beside us," said President George Bush at a press conference today in the White House Rose Garden, in an attempt to woo Hydro American voters. The ceremony included prominent water based people including Aquaman, Nemor, Iceman and Hydroman.
   
    Hydro Americans, a diverse group of people including water, ice and steam-based peoples have grown in status and in number since their emigration period earlier in this century but remain a minority of voters.
   
    "Of course, most human tissue is made up of water. But Hydro Americans have unique abilities to manipulate or become forms of water or water-based life," explained Iceman. "I, of course have the ability to form, become and control the solid form of water, ice. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have the same rights and responsibilities as everyone else in this country."
   
    The administration seems to have always been on a reelection campaign, targeting Catholic and Mexican Americans in a variety of press opportunities.
   
    The bid to the minority group has a long way to go to win their approval. Hydro Americans are usually suspicious of oil-based politicians like Mr. Bush and Vice President Cheney, and have no problem showing it in their voting patterns. Bush is still recovering from a campaign blunder where he accidentally called a staff member a "Squishy," a racially derisive term most Hydro Americans find highly offensive.
   
    Bush has also recently appointed a clever sequence of faucets and drains to high-level positions in the Federal Water Advisory Council and other national water-governing bodies.
   
    Some Hydro Americans were impressed by the show. "I really like seeing some positive role models for my kids," said Joe Santoras, a Cleveland area water-based plumber. "It's good to see water people getting good attention from people."
   
    Bush's choice of guests has stirred up some controversy as well. "Not all Hydro Americans are mutant superheroes or even fight crime," said John Robertson, Professor of Water Studies at Emory University. "These super-heroes, these crime fighters... they only exploit outdated, offensive water-person stereotypes. I don't know how they sleep at night."
