President Bush leans in for a whisper from Cecil Ferrell, founder and owner of Ferrell’s Hamburgers in Hopkinsville, Ky., one of the participants in the President's Conversation on Strengthening Social Security, Thursday, June 2, 2005.
Our Dubya, ever the gentleman, shares an umbrella and a laugh at Fort Campbell, Ky., with Freedom Corps greeter Dr. John Cotthoff, an 81-year-old volunteer physician at the St. Luke Free Clinic in nearby Hopkinsville.
President Bush stands with Rep. Christopher Cox (R-CA), his nominee for Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thursday, June 2, 2005, in the Oval Office. I met Chris Cox at a private fund raiser in Manhattan Beach, CA, some years ago. Although he's not the warmest, fuzziest bird in the nest, he's a tough, no-nonsense guy who should do a good job at SEC. For years, many California Republicans hoped Cox would run for the senate, but he never did. Who knows, maybe he finally will after a stint at SEC.
