President and Mrs. Bush attended the National Prayer Breakfast in DC this morning.

President Bush took his "Social Security can be fixed" message directly to Americans.

The Senate voted 60-36 to confirm Judge Alberto Gonzales as United States Attorney General, with all of the "no" votes coming from Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independent Jim Jeffords of Vermont.

Any other descriptions of what the president or his chief advisors did today will appear next to the photos.

Enjoy today's visit to Sanity Island!

QUOTES: At the National Prayer Breakfast: "Laura and I are really honored to be here to -- it's a fabulous moment in our Nation's Capital. This morning reminds us that prayer has always been one of the great equalizers in American life."

Regarding Social Security: "I'm honored so many came out to hear what I think you're going to find to be an interesting discussion about a very important issue. It's an issue that relates to our children's future; it's an issue that will determine whether or not those of us in elective office have got the courage and the wisdom to solve problems now. And that's Social Security."

I love to see pix of our President in prayer because I know that he ACTUALLY does seek God from the most inner parts of his heart! He said on the interview with Brain Lamb on Cspan that he reads the Bible EVERYDAY! WOOHOO, what a wonderful man he is!! He is not ashamed to declare his Lord and Master Jesus Christ!!

WONDERFUL first pic! THANKS, Gretchen!!

One of the things that Laura has said is that girls have gotten a lot of attention in recent years, and boys have been neglected.

I think that's the reason for this program.
