Mrs. Bush Officially Reopens Pennsylvania Avenue

The White House ^ | November 9, 2004 | The First Lady of the United States

[Stoat]

I am so glad that we still have her as First Lady. Considering the alternative makes me (((shudder))))

[kingu]

I'm glad as well, she's a wonderful asset to the nation.

I hope that they also included a huge number of trash cans as well along the Avenue. It always seems whenever the liberals come to protest they attempt to destroy the environment with their mountains of trash.

[My Favorite Headache]

And now it's my honor to introduce a mayor who not only makes our capital city a great place to visit, but he also makes it a wonderful place to call home. Mayor Anthony Williams. (Applause.)


Laura is way too kind sometimes...

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Nice that she is doing for Pennsylvania Avenue what her husband wants to do with the Mexican border.

OOH, I have to go see...I haven't been down that way for about a year (I work on the other end of town at Dupont Circle).

[OldFriend]

Class all the way!

[NYer]

A beautiful First Lady! What a wonderful way to kick off the 2nd term of her husband's administration.

I wish they had reopened it to traffic, it was great the way you could drive by the White House...

[Swede Girl]

I am so glad that it is HER home for 8 years in our nation's history. The prior First Lady and the Current First Lady wanna-be just do not and cannot add the classy, loving, and warm touch to this home that Laura does.

[Swede Girl]

I chuckle at the story that Dubya often tells about Laura telling him early in their marriage that she did not want to give speeches. Now look at her. LOL

And tomorrow, my sister gets to visit the White House! Suh-WEET! She visited the National Archives today, and saw the Declaration of Independance, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. She said "I felt like I was in church".

Now that becomes part of the mandate--we voted to reelect Bush to open the borders and get an amnesty program running, did we not?

As if the American people remotely approved of either. Not that our imperial government will respond to that, however.

[LibertarianInExile]

I wish they'd put in more grass instead of leaving that asphalt. The road isn't open any more, I don't think, but that ugly tar strip is still there.

[kingu]

Any grass would likely be trampled by the 'million caring moms' or 'million dads' or 'million felons' or whatever the march flavor is of the moment.

[LibertarianInExile]

Maybe so...but couldn't they have put in brick to make it look like historic DC, instead of looking like the milkman is about to deliver?

I prefer my presidential mansions stately, thanks.

[Twinkie]

Nope. I like the concrete. Hush.

[LibertarianInExile]

Concrete is fine--I hate asphalt though.

[Twinkie]

Well. OK. Then asphalt. I like asphalt, too.
Hush.

It really was, and for a while I believed that they should have reopened it, but after 9/11 I think there's zero chance of that ever happening.
