QUOTE OF THE DAY: (From the President's radio address) One year ago this week, ground forces of a strong coalition entered Iraq to liberate that country from the rule of a tyrant.

Dose going up.

Please wait to post photos till the all clear. Thanks!

Thanks Gretchen. Love the Dose

Awwwwwwwwww, how sweet!!!!!!!!

Boo!

Now that's a REAL hug. From a REAL man.

Thanks for the Dose.

Fabulous, Gretchen!

Awwwww!!!! Isn't that the cutest picture ever?

The President was really on a roll today. His speech
was great and what needs to be pounded over & over.

His speech will be on again Sun. C-SPAN 3PM PST
"Road to the White House" I think they have something on
Stupid face first and then the President.

The best campaign speech of all time!!!

The sweetest couple ever to grace the White House.

We are so blessed.

Great job GEE!

Didn't you all LOVE the part in W's speech about personal responsibilities???? Where he mentioned the old days of "if it feels good, do it," and "blame someone else" are being replaced...

--Like music to my ears!!!

I'm going to put that quote in my Newsletter. THAT is what I was waiting to hear. Darn it all, this President has done more to raise the level of our collective integrity, than anyone since Reagan...and it's time we brought it up!

Hi all - going outside to enjoy some romano cheese and red wine! ---It's been a long day of sunshine and changing my closets over from fall/winter to spring/summer....and the SHOES...oh, I did the shoes, too! ha ha

bye for now...

WE LOVE YOU W!!!!! (psst. tell Laura that the blue blouse she had on today looked stunning on her - great color!)

NordP

Thank you!!!!

Now THAT is a beautiful, genuine hug that speaks volumes about love and caring. Quite a contrast from the "staged" disgusting kiss gore gave tipper.

It was a spirited energetic speech and covered all the bases. Loved it when he said, and I'll paraphrase, "It seems the crowds are bigger when Laura is along. She deserves another four years as first lady."

Just got here, LIVE for a change.

What a great #1 pic!!! Wonderful!

Gretchen, thank you for the marvelous pictures.

W. and Laura, what a wonderful couple. How could anyone look at them and not see that their love and affection for each other is genuine.

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.

Thank you so much for the special edition of the Dose. What absolutely WONDERFUL pictures today!

What an incredible first pix of our loving President and his beautiful First Lady -- we are so blessed to have them in the Whitehouse. FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

What an AWESOME rally today -- I recorded C-Span's feed and plan to watch it again in a few minutes!!!!

According to C-Span's tv schedule, they plan to re-play the President's speech commemorating the one year anniversary of the Iraq Liberation (my title) tomorrow at 1:06 PM (EST).

They will also re-play today's campaign rally during their "Road to the White House" segment tomorrow at 6:00 PM (EST). [You will definitely want to record this event/speech!]

Thanks for posting this tonight, I got to see the replay of the Campaign Rally on C_Span at 6:00 Pm Est, and The President and Mrs. Bush did great, Dubya was in his environment and he really knows how to inspire optimism and hope, along with exposing the drastic difference between himself and the Flip Flopping Liberal from Massachusetts
