QUOTE of the DAY: In the land of plenty, there are people who search for the light, who simply want a chance to succeed and realize their God-given talents. And those of us who have been blessed with the opportunity to help must play to the strength of our country in order to help save lives. The strength of America is found in the hearts and souls of our fellow citizens. This country must not fear the influence of faith in the future of this country. We must welcome faith in order to make America a better place. (Applause.)

CBS REJECTS ANTI-BUSH SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL

WASHINGTON (AdAge.com) -- Viacom's CBS today rejected a request from liberal group MoveOn to air a 30-second anti-President Bush ad during the Super Bowl, saying the spot violated the network's policy against running issue advocacy advertising.

Network policy A CBS spokesman said the decision against broadcasting the spot had nothing to do with either the Super Bowl or the ad's specific issue but was because the network has had a long-term policy not to air issue ads anywhere on the network.

A MoveOn spokesperson said the group hopes to appeal the decision within CBS.

Produced as a personal project by Charlie Fisher, creative director of the Copenhagen, Denmark, office of Publicis Groupe ad agency Leo Burnett, the spot is critical of the Bush administration's fiscal policies.

Anti-Bush contest MoveOn is airing a 60-second version the commercial, which was selected through a contest calling for anti-Bush ads, in advance of President Bush's State of the Union address Jan. 20. The group has purchased $300,000 worth of air time on Time Warner's CNN that starts Jan. 17 and runs through Jan. 21.

WOWEEEE.....NICE Pics....OWF....THANKS....It must REALLY fry a certain "Jesse" and his cult followers to have the President loved among a certain group of fellow Americans.

Great picture. Too bad the protestors against GWB's visit can't be as gracious as Mrs. King.

I wanted to get downtown to see him SOOOO badly, just couldn't do it. Lots of people here are furious that some moronic protestors DEFACED the National D-Day museum with graffiti and it was there when the President arrived.
I did see Air Force One heading out over Lake Pontchatrain when he left tho.
Hope he comes again soon. This is one President I'd love to see in person.

Good Evening OWF, Thanks for the great pics, I wish I could have heard GWB's speech at the Church today

[homemom]

Hi Ohio--how are you doing?

THANKS for the great pictures, and especially the QOTD. When I heard him say those words, I was thinking they'd be great for the QOTD! You read my mind.

[jwalburg]

I always love these. Thanks.

ATTENTION ALL!!

I just got a freepmail from MamaB, and she told me that Jan died tonight!

She started having seizures, and had a heart attack.

PLEASE pray for this dear friend and her family!! They need it to get through the coming days!

[ladyinred]

Many thanks to Coretta King for showing class today! I am sure you all know to what I refer. Wonderful pics of W with the stained glass windows in the background. So beautiful!
Thanks OhioWfan. Please tell Eric hello and that he is always in my prayers!

[RoseofTexas]

MamaB, I was in shock, like the rest of the freepers here, to hear of Jan's passing away. Please, know that you are in our hearts and prayers. May our Lord comfort you and your family.

I don't know if you all heard already... but that Carol Mosley Braun character dropped out of the Presidential race!

1 down, 8 more to go!
