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......
You got the pleasure tonight?
PLEASE wait to post or repost photos until the ALL CLEAR!
Evening, Ohio. Did I win a trip?
Yay, Ohio!
Oh, the press, the press!!!! Will they ever get it right?....DUH-No!!!
Good evening!
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.
Is Gretchen ailing?
bttt
I've been on vacation and only had occasional chances to post, but glad to be home! That picture of the President and Miss Anderson is really cute. He is so great with kids. But the perspective with the presidential seal and all kind of gives me vertigo! ; ) Hope you all are having a great day.
Thanks for the dose, Ohio!
Love the pic of the Sec Service--have never seen one like that!
I will miss the dose for the next 10 days or so!
Thanks again.
