President Bush went to Capitol Hill this morning, accompanied by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, to meet with and speak to the House Republican Conference and discuss issues and encourage support for CAFTA. Later he welcomed March of Dimes National Ambassador, Navy Anderson of Logan, Utah in the Oval Office, and then greeted the 2005 Boys and Girls Senators in the East Room. The Senators were selected to represent their states by the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary. Tonight the President will be traveling to Ft. A.P. Hill in Virginia to address the Boy Scout Jamboree meeting there, to voice his support of the Scouts, and his thoughts and prayers for the families of the leaders who were killed yesterday.
ENJOY your trip to Sanity Island, and the Daily Dose!!
Quote of the Day (from Scott McClellans press briefing today) : Q .Since the Senate yesterday voted 98 to nothing to make sure that the Boy Scouts will be able to continue holding camping events on U.S. military bases, the President in his speech to the National Boy Scout Jamboree tonight will also support Senate Majority Leader Frist's Support Our Scouts Act of 2005, won't he?
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, of course --
Q Or does he intend to ignore Senator Frist and say nothing about the ACLU's --
MR. McCLELLAN: Of course --
Q -- suing the Boy Scouts?
MR. McCLELLAN: Of course, the President strongly supports our scouts. And the President looks forward to going to Fort A.P. Hill this evening and speaking to the parents and the Boy Scouts that are present. It's also a moment to keep in our thoughts and prayers the families of those four parents who tragically lost their life earlier this week. These parents were role models to those Boy Scouts, and I think the President will -- I expect the President will touch on that. But this is --
Q Will he support Senator Frist's --
MR. McCLELLAN: For these remarks, the President is going there to highlight all the positive things that the Boy Scouts do, and all the positive contributions that troop leaders make to instill in them a sense of leadership and responsibility. And that's what the President will be talking about.
Q What about Senator Frist?
MR. McCLELLAN: You'll hear his remarks tonight.
This is 7 year old Navy Anderson......

PLEASE wait to post or repost photos until the ALL CLEAR!

Bush stands with Les Frieden, chairperson of the National Council on Disability, during a reception and presentation ceremony of the George Bush Medal for the Empowerment of People with Disabilities, Monday, July 25, 2005 at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.
THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT!!
Oh good grief, the press is trying to put our President on the spot. That question about the "Support Our Scouts" act is an attempt to pit the boy scouts against the ACLU and the gays. When Ohio gives the all clear, I'll post the link that explains the act.
I just got finished working out and I'ma ll sweaty....looking Mr. Bush's pictures doesn't help me any! ;-)
And you're FIRST! CONGRATS!
