The President met with Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in the Oval Office of the White House to discuss regional security and diplomatic issues. (Geography refresher: Tunisia is in North Africa, borders eastern Algeria and is SW of Italy, across the Mediterranean; the CIA wrote recently, "Tunisia has taken a moderate, non-aligned stance in its foreign relations.")
Laura Bush visited students and educators at Limerick Elementary School in the Canoga Park area of Los Angeles, promoting literacy. Mrs. Bush encouraged students to read more than they watch television.
And on a "know your opponents" note: the democrats continue to run in Circles of Confusion, today's version of Dante's Divine Comedy: The Inferno.

Top 10?

To me, she looks more comfortable in these settings than anywhere else on her official duties.

This picture says volumes!

Look at Laura's face while she is hugging that child. Both she and her husband always show in body language and facial expressions that they sincerely love children.
The former administration used children like furniture, usually lining them up in the Rose Garden behind you know who to provide a photo-op.

Yes, that's the way it took me -- like she knows how desperately needy some of these children are for love and stability, and would love to take them all home.

Can anyone imagine the Ketchup Widow doing this? Laura is Dubya's secret weapon. I expect that once this campaign gets going in full-swing, we are going to be seeing a lot of her.

That's all for now.
