QUOTE OF THE DAY
Remarks by the President at the Texas Victory 2006 Rally
Sugar Land Regional Airport
Sugar Land, Texas

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. Thank you. I always feel better when I'm in Texas. (Applause.) Thanks for coming out. I'm honored you are here. I appreciate you taking time out of your day.

I thank you for joining me and saying loud and clear to the people of the 22nd congressional district: Shelley Sekula-Gibbs is the right person to serve you in the United States Congress. (Applause.) She served in public office before -- you might remember, she was a member of the Houston City Council, where she helped pass tax cuts. (Applause.) She's a doctor. She's a doctor, where she's helped heal broken bodies. She is going -- she's a mother who understands the importance of family values. She's the right person to send to Washington, D.C. (Applause.)

If you'll give me a chance maybe to kind of serve as the secretary of state for Texas for a second -- (laughter) -- for those who haven't been paying attention to this election, yet want good government, you get to vote twice -- (applause) -- for Shelly. You get to check her name in the special election portion of the ballot, and then you get to write her name in. See, if you want to send Shelly to the United States Congress, you're going to have to take a pencil into the ballot box.

Now, you can bring a piece of paper with you that's got her name on it, so you can copy it down on the ballot. So remember when you show up to vote on November the 7th, bring your pencil, bring your paper and write Shelley's name in for good government. (Applause.)

Laura sends her love. (Applause.) As President, I make a lot of decisions, but the best decision I have made as a person is asking Laura to marry me. (Applause.) Some of her friends are still wondering whether the best decision she ever made was to say yes. (Laughter.) But I'm real proud of her. She's a fantastic wife, a great mom, and a great First Lady for the United States. (Applause.)

Speaking about great ladies, this state is fortunate to have Kay Bailey Hutchison as the United States Senator. (Applause.) She is effective, she is capable, she's all Texan. And it's important for this state to send her back to the United States Senate with a strong, strong vote. (Applause.)

FANTASTIC pictures tonight, snugs.

You do such a great job! THANKS!

(In and out........gotta get some sleep!)

[DollyCali]

Good morning! Great Dose. Thank you Snugs.

SnarlinCB.. I also got the one hour time out on refreshing THAT thread. could do others. There must be something built into the software that after so many refreshes in a given time frame it is automatic. I was hitting it pretty often, consecutively & never thought about the hits to the server etc.

I was home about 8:30 & thought the dose would be up shortly & was trying for toaster..

When I got the timeout I decided to go to sleep.as I was exhausted & realized it might be awhile until the thread was up. .. and did sleep for about 5 hours(pulling a snugs). Need to post a thread so up to do it

[Anne of DC]

Thanks for the ping, snugs!
