A DAY (a few days) IN THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT BUSH (PHOTOS): 9.25, 26, 27.04
yahoo.com, whitehouse.gov ^ | September 27, 2004 | GretchenM for TruthNTegrity

Posted on 09/27/2004 2:17:48 PM PDT by GretchenM

Based at Prairie Chapel Ranch, the president is preparing for the first debate with the sometime Senator, John Kerry, this Thursday, and campaigning.

SATURDAY: In his weekly radio address, President Bush said, "This week, I was honored to welcome the Prime Minister of a free and sovereign Iraq to the White House."

SUNDAY: President Bush said he had no regrets about his 'Mission Accomplished' speech on Iraq in May 2003 and would do it all over again if he had the chance, according to excerpts from an television interview released on September 26. As Vietnam veteran Tommy Franks wrote in American Soldier, it was Franks' idea, and the USS Abraham Lincoln was the unapologized-for chosen format, to find a way to acknowledge our troops' overwhelming success in toppling the Hussein regime in a matter of weeks.

TODAY: President Bush campaigned in Ohio.

OOPs--thanks for the info. I know it's a "must win" state.

Just to let you know--I FINALLY watched an episode of Amazing Race--the LAST episode. It was great--hope they have another and I can watch the whole thing. I was REALLY glad the models didn't win. They turned me off from the first time I saw them.

I have THREE dogs I can loan you; two black labs and a chocolate. All of them will bark up a storm and scare the heck out of any Bush hater. :-)

I love the part about the license plate and breath test . . . pretty quick thinker to lock the doors with the car running too . . . :-)

Psalm 31

1 In You, O LORD, I put my trust;
        Let me never be ashamed;
        Deliver me in Your righteousness.
        2Bow down Your ear to me,
        Deliver me speedily;
        Be my rock of refuge,
        A fortress of defense to save me.

        3For You are my rock and my fortress;
        Therefore, for Your name's sake,
        Lead me and guide me.
        4Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,
        For You are my strength.
        5Into Your hand I commit my spirit;
        You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

        6I have hated those who regard useless idols;
        But I trust in the LORD.
        7I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy,
        For You have considered my trouble;
        You have known my soul in adversities,
        8And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;
        You have set my feet in a wide place.

        9Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble;
        My eye wastes away with grief,
        Yes, my soul and my body!
        10For my life is spent with grief,
        And my years with sighing;
        My strength fails because of my iniquity,
        And my bones waste away.
        11I am a reproach among all my enemies,
        But especially among my neighbors,
        And am repulsive to my acquaintances;
        Those who see me outside flee from me.
        12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;
        I am like a broken vessel.
        13For I hear the slander of many;
        Fear is on every side;
        While they take counsel together against me,
        They scheme to take away my life.

        14But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD;
        I say, "You are my God."

From the Canteen Thread via WVNan:

EMERGENCY PRAYER NEEDED FOR A WOUNDED SOLDIER.

Pray for Alan Nolan who is fighting for his life in a Texas hospital. He was severely wounded in Iraq and is undergoing surgery to try and save his life. Lord God see Alan who needs your immediate care. We expect a miracle in Jesus' name.
