A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos) - 4.16.04

YAHOO, WHITE HOUSE | 4/16/04

[MJY1288]

President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair arrive in the Rose Garden of the White House April 16, 2004 for a joint statement and press conference. Bush and Blair called on the Palestinians and their supporters to use Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon 's West Bank plan as an opportunity for creating a Palestinian state. They also took questions from the partisan Press on Iraq and the usual question prepared for them from the DNC

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island

[azGOPgal]

I'm doing good. Welcoming the weekend with open arms.

[MJY1288]

I just saw him interviewing a Marine who was shot in the back and refuses to go home. TRUE GRIT

Ollie North does a great job exposing the greatness of our troops in the field.

I liked the President's tie! Bush and Blair look great together.....a great team.

[MJY1288]

Good Evening MUD! How R ya doin?

[ilovew]

Don't we have the best soldiers anywhere? Especially the National Guard, right? :)

[GretchenEE]

After Sharon visited with Bush at the White House, it occurred to me that this is the first time the PM has been able to complete a visit to DC without some of his people being blown up in Israel, prompting him to cut short his visit without getting the work done.

[Pippin]

WHOA!

Way to Go!

[visualops]

Hiya Pippin!

Have ya done anything with the geneology?

[Pippin]

Yep!

I got in contact with a second cousin in Washington state. And I'm compiling Family sheets for some of my dad's ancesters.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Geez...
They just showed Kerry blathering on and on...
I swear when he talks, I can hear "denture whistle"...
LOL
Ms.B

[GretchenEE]

What part of Washington State?

I live in Washington State. But the eastern and western halves are like two countries in politics, weather, and geography.

[GretchenEE]

I mean to say this is the first time in many visits that Sharon has been able ... etc.

Hope this doesn't come up as a double post. I'm having trouble getting things to appear on the forum tonight.

[Pippin]

Spokane (spelling?)

[azGOPgal]

Last night, some of us College Republicans stood outside the post office since people were still mailing out their tax returns last minute. This vietnam vet walked up to us and talked to us for a good half hour on why he would never vote for Kerry. He said that if Dean or Edwards were elected, he would support them as president. But he would never be able to support John Kerry.

He had a really neat storty to tell.

[MJY1288]

Yup, you are correct. Killing that terrorist in the wheel chair seems to have sent a message

[GretchenEE]

You spelled it exakkery right. (It's pronounced spoh KAN, with KAN rhyming with RAN.) Your cuz is on t'other side of the state from me -- in that "other" country. ;-)

[Pippin]

Is that good or bad?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

ooops sorry I meant that for the Canteen... I got my threads confused.... God bless our troops and President Bush! ( I am so embarrassed... slinking away)

[azGOPgal]

I'm heading out. Two of my roommates are celebrating their birthday's this weekend.

You have an awesome weekend. Hopefully I'll see ya Sunday night.

Hugs
Twinkie

[Pippin]

Hey Diva!

[Pippin]

Good night AZ!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

HEY PIP- I think I need some sleep... Sorry about that. I know I should be much more respectable than that over here...

How are you?

[DrDeb]

Thank you for posting the DOSE tonight . . . what AWESOME pixes of two VISIONARY and COURAGEOUS leaders who, despite continual criticism, remain committed to winning our War on Terrorism (and our current battle in Iraq)!!!!

FYI: C-Span will air the Bush-Blair press conference at 10:20 PM (EST).

[Pippin]

LOL!

You're okay! :O)

Bet the others here enjoyed it!

[visualops]

Far out!

[Pippin]

Next stop, Bavaria! :O)

[Timeout]

Dubya to reporter:
Is it true that Kerry crosses his legs when he's sitting down?

[GretchenEE]

It depends on what one likes.

I simply would not be able to hack the monotony of the topography there vs. here, but the western side is crawling with libs to the point of excluding light and air to breathe, which is very bad, IMO. I love the salt water and salt air, among other things such as two humungous mountain ranges that come with living in the Puget Sound region. To oversimplify, it is a thousand shades of green here, with gigantic mountains and fast, gushing rivers, and a few shades of "wheat" there with bigger, slower rivers. The interior of the eastern side is pretty flat over a large area. I wish everybody could come out here and see how gorgeous this place is.

Both sides have some expansive, wild mountainous areas. The eastern side has desert and a LOT of very fertile farmland (apple capital of the US, among other things; lots of fruit; wheat; wine grapes on both sides of the Cascade Mountains). Farming, vs. city dwelling, tends to produce a better quality of people in my view.

So it depends on what one likes.

[Pippin]

Hmmm!

Maybe she should move to Seattle! :O)

No, maybe I should move to Seattle!

[ilovew]

I'm thinking of moving to Illinois. I hear there are some nice sights out there ;)

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Okay Kiddo..
Have a great time!
Take care...
Ms.B

[Pippin]

How about East Tennessee?

Or North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountians?

[SoCalPol]

There was a report just now on FOX re: 9/11 families.
Several are tired of the ones the Left keep carting out.
One woman who was on, her brother was the pilot of the
plane that went into the Pentagon. She went to D.C.
and sat in the hearings when Condi was there to support her.
She was seen after shaking her hand and speaking to her.

This woman supports the President and is also a life long
democrat.

In the recent days there have been several on
Laura Ingraham's radio show.

[ilovew]

But that's not where Jon is.

POLLING UPDATE
The Annenberg Poll
1267 Adults (MOE +/-3)
April 1-14, 2004

GWB job approval
53% approve 44% disapprove (+9)
[This job approval rating is UP from the end of March when this same poll had the President's approval rating at 50% approve/48% disapprove (+2). NOTE: The increased rating comes despite the fact that most of the polling occurred during a time when we lost approximately 70 troops in Iraq!]

Welcome to Tony Blair, one of the only other decent leaders in the world! He has gone through so much bashing in his country too just for doing the right thing.

[onyx]

Fabulous photos!
It's plain to see that PM Blair and President Bush
truly like one another.

[onyx]

I love that oval office photo of Condi and POTUS.
Thanks for posting it.

[WaterDragon]

Out of respect for Tony Blair, I'll refrain from comments on his wife.

The leaders of the English-speaking world (Bush, Blair and Howard) stand firm in the defense of Western Civilization!

[DrDeb]

Actually, my earlier post should read to 'All' NOT to 'DrDeb'!

I just want to warn everyone that Bob Woodward's new NOVEL will be released next week (I'm sure it thoroughly trashes the President) -- Woodward will promote the book on, where else, 60 Minutes this weekend!!!! YAWN!

I'm pretty sure this represents the last of the MAJOR hit books (at least until October) -- Kerry's still negotiating with Clinton as to the actual release date of his (Clinton's) book (GAG!).

Night all!

[ohioWfan]

Two STRONG leaders...........just what this dangerous world needs right now.

THANKS for the DOSE, Mike!

And good to see you, MUD!

[Pippin]

nsigh!

Let me guess....

Jon's in Illanois?

[GretchenEE]

I have been waiting for word from The Elijah List because I've felt some confusion has been stirring in the Body of Christ over Pastor Kim Clement's prophecy regarding March 11, 2004, and Easter. Here is the link to what was posted today.

From Kim Clement's web site: Kim Clement
Excerpt: " I am accountable to God and if this explanation does not make sense then I will be corrected by my leadership. I however, do not think that this prophetic utterance is a mistake. Instead the word has been misinterpreted because of assumptions made concerning the phrase, "bring out your greatest enemy,” meant, "capture." Indeed this will happen, but when exactly we don't know."

ORIGINAL WORD excerpt

This is the original prophecy that I gave in Utica, New York, in January [2004]. The word that I gave on TBN a few days later was simply a repeat of what I had prophesied in New York:

"This Easter will be one of the greatest Easters this nation has ever celebrated. Why? Because there will be a resurrection of the dead, spiritually speaking, of revelation that has died, of prophetic words that have died and been buried in the ground. This Easter, not only will I bring your greatest enemy out, but I will also bring about a severe judgment against the powers and principalities that have come against My servants and against My people. There shall be a judgment. ...

Al Qaeda shall be exposed shortly. There has been a threat that has come from them, and there has been a threat spoken out by Osama bin Laden that within 35 days the USA shall experience a catastrophic event. But even as I brought out the other rogue from the hole in the ground, in the same period that bin Laden predicted catastrophe against this nation, I shall bring him forth, I shall raise him out of his own hiding place, and I will bring him to a place of accountability."

I did not use the word "capture" during that prophecy, but ultimately this "bringing out" will lead to his capture."

If anyone wants the full Email with some very helpful insights from Steve Shultz and Bob Jones, please FReepmail me.

Oh very interesting! You'll have to let me know what you discover!

My mother's family (both sides) are from Alsace (eastern France). When I expressed interest in that ancestry, her response was they were "just a bunch of peasants" LOL.. But, many records were destroyed between the 2 Wars which would probably make such a task exceedingly difficult. My grandfather's hometown was absolutely levelled during WWII.
My father's side though- has a alot of info and records. He even wrote a little book on one branch with some historical relevance.
Anyway- it's just really alot of fun!

[ilovew]

NOW you're catching on :)

Tony Blair, one of the only other decent leaders in the world! He has gone through so much bashing in his country too just for doing the right thing

For those Brits who are hungry for it, there are the shadows of Winston Churchill and his great ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, to stand in. Blair gets it.
