A DAY IN THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT BUSH (PHOTOS): 8.19.04

The President's hardworking National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice spoke about and took questions on the Global War on Terror's war of ideas, addressing the efforts the Bush Administration has taken to lead the world toward values and understanding that will bring a just and lasting peace, at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington D.C. today. Dr. Rice counseled Americans to be 'less critical of every twist and turn' in Iraq.

Retiring Senator Zell Miller, D-GA, will deliver the keynote address at the GOP Convention.

Dr. Condoleeza Rice talks with Sean Hannity (radio link) on military transformation.

The First Lady had a significant interview with Bill Sammon of The Washington Times, stating she believes life begins at conception and that she supports her husband's view on abortion. Asked if she was pro-life, she answered yes and stated abortion should be rare. "Mrs. Bush laughed incredulously when asked whether the press was fair and impartial in its coverage of a conservative such as President Bush. Her press secretary, Gordon Johndroe, laughed even more heartily." The twins will not be speaking at the GOP convention, she said. The short interview is worth the read. She described her husband as "very loving and compassionate and really sweet."

The interview excerpted further: "The first lady was asked whether she would be devastated if her husband lost. 'Yes, of course,' she said. 'Would we still have a life? Sure. Would we have a good life? Sure.' [Sammon asks:] Would Americans survive a Kerry presidency? 'They'll do a lot better,' she said, smiling ruefully, 'with a Bush re-election.'"

President Bush will be vacationing for a week at his ranch so we're not likely to be seeing a lot of the usual photos.

My Quaker upbringing makes me very inclined to trust the voice in my heart. And I just have to believe GWB will win this one!

I pray for that inspiration!!! The campaign is asking that those who can should volunteer an hour of their time in the last 72 hours of the campaign. They need help getting the vote out! I hope everyone who can will call their local headquarters and sign up for that!!!! Be INSPIRED! :)

I'll be working the phone banks starting next week with 2 of my friends!
We're ready to work for it!
Plus, we went out to protest the kerrybots when GWB was in town and have made contributions to the campaign coffers.
We need to do all we can, and most importantly, have FAITH!
We WILL win this one! The truth will set us free...

So.........I'll pray for both.

I just don't think I can bear having Kerry for president. Haven't gotten over the Clinton Clinton adm. yet.

Everyone's good thanks. Today's my anniversary. :) 15 years! So I won't be around too long tonight.

Pray for both indeed!
Since we are free beings, I believe that inspiration will be most important this time out. God can certainly intervene in any situation, but inspiration seems to be very individual. On a large enough level, it can have a profound impact on a people.
That's my understanding of it. I think if we're an inspired people, we will continue to be blessed.
Kerry scares me! I don't think he's an evil man, but I think he lacks understanding of good and evil, especially concerning our situation in the war on terror. We NEED to win it.

Iran has always been the real threat.
And now they're sweating it!
They should.
We're in for some interesting times, and it needs to be handled by the right man (GW, in my opinion of course!).
