President Bush took it easy today. He attended church, went for his bike ride (which replaces his running to lessen the impact on his knees), and played with Barney. Late yesterday, the White House released a photo of the President visiting an injured Marine at Bethseda. It's included here as the Photo of the Day, even though it may have been posted late on yesterday's Dose thread. It serves to perfectly illustrate the Quote of the Day. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: It turns out that my grandfather, Prescott S. Bush, was the first President and CEO of USO, so it's only fitting that I'm coming -- working in the assembly line. We're sending packages to our troops overseas, a package full of all different goodies, you know -- a little gum, playing cards. But you can't ever thank the troops enough. This is one way of saying, America appreciates your service to freedom and peace and our security. You can't put enough playing cards in there; you can't put enough sticks of gum.

But I hope our troops understand that with this package comes a lot of support and a lot of affection from not only a husband or a wife, or a mom or a dad, but equally important, an average citizen who you never met, somebody who deeply appreciates your service, somebody who understands the mission, and somebody who stands solidly with you as you work to make the world a better place.

First?

Ping to the Sunday dose. Please wait until I give the all clear before posting any photos or images. I'm going to add some photos of the Vice President in Afghanistan, and that might take a little while to complete. Thanks.

Photo of the Day: President George W. Bush visits with USMC Lance Corporal Sean Phillips and his mother, Sharon, at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., Saturday, Dec. 11, 2004. Cpl. Phillips was injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom. While recovering in Germany, he received a donated quilt from supporters in Texas. Given to wounded soldiers returning to the states, the quilts come from groups and individuals from all over America. The President added his own Texas signature to the quilt.

That's a really cute outfit Laura has on. I rarely like her in black, but that's a nice pantsuit.

Great pictures, even if there aren't very many!

The President's hair, it seems, grows grayer each day at a rapid rate. God Bless this man!

[JustaCowgirl]

Is the President waving or stopping traffic in that last picture? LOL.

Thanks for all your work, Wolfstar. The Dose is my favorite part of FR.

Wow, W looks gray-white in the photos with Barney.

For those who may not have seen images of Vice President and Mrs. Cheney's historic visit to Afghanistan to attend President Karzai's swearing-in ceremony, here's a few of the better photos.

[Wolfstar]

You're welcome. Also want to tell everyone ALL CLEAR!

W looks gray-white in the photos with Barney.

On top of having the weight of the country on his shoulders, he's also got two daughters that aren't married yet. I'm a little younger than the President, and have two daughters (who are now married). I understand the gray hairs. It's the daughters. ;>)
