A DAY IN THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT BUSH (PHOTOS): 3.3.04
yahoo.com, whitehouse.gov ^ | March 3, 2004 | GretchenEE

Posted on 03/03/2004 1:35:35 PM PST by GretchenEE

The President is and will be on the road for the next six days. Right now he's on West Coast time, which would make the Dose quite late for Easterners, so I'm posting what's out there, with the expectation that there might be more photos tonight.

President Bush is in Los Angeles today, and will travel in California and then Texas to do some fundraising and receive President Fox of Mexico at The Ranch.

Vice President Cheney reiterated to the press his acceptance as running mate with George Bush for this year's election. It seems he has to keep repeating this because the media doesn't like the answer they're hearing.

Enjoy today's Dose of W, and welcome to Sanity Island.

Only he wouldn't say "fouled"

Remember ... he's John Effing Kerry.

Earlier, I listened to James Rosen savage the new Bush-Cheney ads (on Brit Hume's show)! I was so furious that I e-mailed the following comments to both Brit and FoxNews. I also called them and left a VERY 'emphatic' comment about Rosen on their comment line:


"My husband and I just finished watching James Rosen's vicious 'analysis' of the new Bush-Cheney ads. For the first time in my life, I actually threw something at the television set!

Funny, I don't recall Rosen/FoxNews 'feeling the need' to dissect ANY of the MANY ads produced by the DNC, Kerry et al, and/or MoveOn.org -- ads which did nothing but libelously ATTACK the President! So, why the perceived need to disassemble the President's ads?!

I think we both know the answer to my question -- (journalistic) inferiority complexes can be so debilitating!

At one time, my family and I watched FoxNews exclusively; however, 'reporters' like Rosen have so alienated us that we now restrict our viewing to "Fox & Friends" in the morning", "Hannity & C******" in the evening, and your show at 6 PM EST. After this HIT PIECE, however, we may decide to watch F&F and Hannity only, or perhaps, we'll just escape to the radio; after all, we can stream Hugh Hewitt and Laura Ingram on the computer -- both of whom are infinitely more informative and entertaining that FoxNews of late!

[Perhaps Rosen and Ailes should remember who comprises the FoxNews BASE -- it certainly isn't the leftists to whom Rosen was directing his 'analysis'!!!!]"


If you want to contact FoxNews, you can do so at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,77538,00.html

"I'm sorry, didn't think it would confuse anyone :-( I was refering to a conversation we had in mail about a great site to order Bush pins... they are beautiful and very inexpensive!"

I watched Brit tonight, I must have missed what Rossen said.....Chrissy on the other hand was impressed with the ads...that's all I saw of his show though.

I'm very glad you all liked it, too... I have a feeling I'm going to be a regular customer there now :-)

I can't claim finding it, though, the site was passed on to me by afraidfortherepublic who found it originally and was kind enough to mention it :-)

Oh wow!! A life sized cut out? I've seen those, they are so NEAT :-)

I can see how you wouldn't want to cut or hurt it, but it does sound like lots of fun to take him on errands :-)

Great pins!

Might I make a suggestion? Since the pins are so inexpensive, order a few extras and keep them with you. I'm sure people will comment on them and then you can offer them one. Consider it a small contribution to the cause ..... :-)

I've done that with bumper stickers.

I received notice of quite a few changes to the prayer list last night so please be sure to take note of the new people added and offer praise for the safe return home of others.


Psalm 92

1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
        And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
        2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
        And Your faithfulness every night,
        3On an instrument of ten strings,
        On the lute,
        And on the harp,
        With harmonious sound.
        4For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work;
        I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

        5O LORD, how great are Your works!
        Your thoughts are very deep.
        6A senseless man does not know,
        Nor does a fool understand this.
        7When the wicked spring up like grass,
        And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
        It is that they may be destroyed forever.

        8But You, LORD, are on high forevermore.
        9For behold, Your enemies, O LORD,
        For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
        All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

        10But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
        I have been anointed with fresh oil.
        11My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
        My ears hear my desire on the wicked
        Who rise up against me.

        12The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
        He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
        13Those who are planted in the house of the LORD
        Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
        14They shall still bear fruit in old age;
        They shall be fresh and flourishing,
        15To declare that the LORD is upright;
        He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
