A Day in the Life of President (and Laura) Bush (Abroad and Home): (photos) 5.10.05

After urging the spread of democracy in Latvia, The Netherlands, Russia and Georgia, President (and Laura) Bush returned to the White House. The president will resume work with Congress on Social Security and judicial nominees, as well as seeking help from China on getting North Korea back to negotiations on its nuclear weapons program.

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island.

Good evening all. Whew. Glad they're home safe and sound. Cute dogs and nice shoes!

The Yahoo caption for this photo reads: "President Bush bends over to greet his dog Barney as the black Scottish terrier slips through his legs at the White House, in Washington, Tuesday, May 10, 2005. President Bush and first lady Laura Bush are just returning from a five-day trip in Europe to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II."

However, Yahoo frequently screws up facts in its captions. Unless it's a trick of the light, the dog looks like a brindle. That would be the puppy, because Barney is solid black.

Also, if you compare the dogs' sizes in this photo taken just a couple of weeks ago, you can see that Barney is quite a bit bigger, even lying down. And Beezie already had a habit of going through GWB's legs.

...great Halloween eve costumes, though.

ROFLMAO!!!

That's the best toaster yet.

I can never quite feel comfortable when I see pictures of tight, knee-length military boots and goose-stepping though.

Ratchet that, for sure.

I've been watching "The Last Days of WW 2" on the History Channel, which, of course, includes tons of goose-stepping Nazis and Soviets. It seems very arrogant and overdone to me, giving me somewhat the same feeling I had when video of Saddam was shown shooting off his rifle in the air, as he grinned at the crowd sadistically, from a balcony. I hate it.

Re: Post 114.....I'd pay BIG bucks for THAT toaster ;-)

Great Dose tonight! In light of our first family being home safe and sound, I lift my glass (of wine, soda, milk, etc.) in a toast of relief. I bow my head in prayer and thanks.

Woo-hoo, Beezie! Does W have little treats in his pocket to "lure" her away from Laure? LOL

Hi Pippin!

It sure makes me feel better to see that the President's dogs toy with him a bit too!

[Theresawithanh]

Snugs, that's gotta be the best toaster yet! Great job!

[snugs]

Here is your toaster

[Theresawithanh]

Many, many thanks for the B&B pictures! I love how this president loves his dogs!

Will President Bush be at the White House tomorrow? Our daughter is going there with a large delegation from AL with the Chamber of Commerce. When I talked with her today, she did not think he would be there. Just curious.

[Theresawithanh]

Oooh, President Bush AND Barney! Now that's the greatest toaster, but the first one you posted is a close runner-up!

Computer is suffering from indigestion - burping (double posts).....and I had the IBIS tool bar, and now about once a day have to shut the thing down, disconnect the cable line, and then restart, so I can get on the internet....I purchased a really good spam fighter, and even that's having problems (xsoft?).....anyway....it's OK, just a little sick. Glad yours is all better now.

[Pippin]

*grin*

[goodnesswins]

LOL....can that toaster make copies, too?

[SE Mom]

OMG! That is FANTASTIC!! Toasters tonight are Award Winners for sure!

Thanks snugs...lovely job.
