WhiteHouse.gov; Yahoo News Photos ^ | 4/16/05

Posted on 04/16/2005 12:36:48 PM PDT by Wolfstar

PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: The President and First Lady are spending the weekend at Camp David, and there are no planned public appearances. President and Mrs. Bush reported total income last year of $784,219 and paid $207,307 in federal income taxes, according to documents released by the White House on April 15, 2005. Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne reported $1.3 million in taxable income, the White House said.

THE WEEK AHEAD:

Monday, the President will go to Columbia, South Carolina, where he'll make remarks on strengthening Social Security.

Tuesday, the President will go to Springfield, Illinois, where he will tour the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, and then make remarks at the dedication of the library and museum. Also on Tuesday, the Vice President will deliver the keynote address at the Oklahoma City National Memorial ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building there.

Wednesday, the President makes remarks to the 2005 National and State Teachers of the Year in the Rose Garden. And then he'll make remarks at the U.S.-Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Legislative Conference. Those remarks will be on energy, as I mentioned. The President will then present the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy to the United States Naval Academy football team in the East Room.

Thursday, GWB will make remarks on strengthening Social Security to the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America in Washington. He'll also make remarks at the President's Environmental Youth Awards in the East Garden.

Friday, the President will participate in a service project. And then he'll make remarks on Earth Day. And both those events are in Townsend, Tennessee. Then he goes on to the ranch in Crawford, where he'll remain for the weekend.

THE FOLLOWING WEEK: On Monday the 25th, the President will meet with Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at the ranch. And then on Tuesday, he will go to Galveston to participate in a roundtable on strengthening Social Security. This event had been postponed because of the Pope's funeral.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: From the Presidential Radio Address, 4/16/05:

American families and small businesses across the country are feeling the pinch from rising gas prices. If you're trying to meet a family budget or a payroll, even a small change at the pump can have a big impact.

America's prosperity depends on reliable, affordable and secure sources of energy. And today our energy needs are growing faster than our domestic sources are able to provide. Demand for electricity has grown more than 17 percent in the past decade, while our transmission ability lags behind. And we continue to import more than one-half of our domestic oil supply.

Every source of power that we use today started with the power of human invention, and those sources have served us well for decades. Now it's time to apply our knowledge and technology to keep the American Dream alive in this new century. There is nothing America cannot achieve when we put our mind to it. And I urge Congress to work out its differences and pass an energy bill that will help make America safer and more prosperous for the years to come.

The knee is a lot better thanks. Just can't kneel on it so it was fun picking up stuff off the ground a little while ago. Apart from that though it is well on the mend.

Very good point I just wonder how much some of the RATS do donate in a year but of course they would take the view that it is the States responsibility to give not them. In otherwords tax us all to distribute mainly to those who do not and never will or want to work. Of course they will find many tax deductible reasons why they don't of course have to pay the extra tax. Do I sound cynical or what!!

Personally, I get the feeling that the liberal pressies who go over the Bush and Cheney tax returns with an fine tooth comb and their Vengeance Tooth exposed, find themselves shamed by the generosity of these people.

They may well feel shamed but unfortunately they will never mention that or anything favourable about Bush and Cheney.

Wow, now THAT'S quite a contraption!

You and your guests can all put pancakes on your heads, take a picture and then post on some of the silly threads here on FR "We have no idea what you are talking about, so here we all are with pancakes on our heads." If you would be so inclined, that is!

Since you admit lack of knowledge, I won't bore you with who they got.

But the sports commentators said this is a good starting team. Some top flight players on it, but the big BUT is that they probably have a weak bench and a less than complete pitching staff if you look all the way up and down the line from starters, to occasional starters, to relief pitchers, etc.

They said the team needs to avoid injuries, and maybe pick up a two or three more players that would help from the bench and with pitching.

So far they have been winning, and that was away from home. Commentators said with the great fan support, thay should be even tougher in RFK Stadium.
