Sports dominated presidential photo opportunities today. President Bush welcomed the New England Patriots to the White House for winning the 2005 Super Bowl. As honorary chairman of the 2005 President's Cup, Bush received golf officials in the Oval Office.

Coming soon: Crown Prince Abdallah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the ranch on April 25; and President Martin Torrijos of the Republic of Panama to the White House on April 28.

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island!

QUOTE: (to the New England Patriots) "I also want to thank you all for going by Walter Reed and the National Naval Medical Center here in Washington. ... There's nothing better than a Super Bowl champ encouraging somebody to continue to work hard to recover. And I want to, again, thank you for that. Thank you for your example."

The last picture in post #5.....Bilichek(sp?) presented the jersey to GWB and said he hoped the President would enjoy wearing it. W quipped back quickly..."you won't find this on E-Bay!".

Whether it's our troops or our sports figures, they all look as if they are having a blast with W!
