PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: With the President, First Lady and the dogs relaxing at the ranch this weekend, there are no new photos to post. So I've selected a theme -- GWB and our Armed Forces -- and found many photos to let us enjoy a walk down memory lane. The theme photos are all from early in his presidency. They show GWB's closeness with our military both before and after 9/11/01.
THE WEEK AHEAD:
Monday, the President travels to Albuquerque, New Mexico. He will be touring the Sandia Laboratory there, and then will be making remarks after signing the comprehensive energy legislation that passed recently.
Tuesday, the President is going to have his economic advisors to the ranch. He will participate in a briefing with them on the state of our economy. Afterwards, GWB will make some remarks and participate in a press availability.
Wednesday, President Bush will traveling to Aurora, Illinois, where he will sign the transportation legislation. Aurora is the largest town in the north-central Illinois congressional district of House Speaker Dennis Hastert.
Saturday, tentative, but the President usually participates in an RNC event in August at the ranch. As of yesterday, the President's schedule was not firmed up beyond Wednesday.
QUOTE OF THE DAY Excerpt from the presidential radio address, Saturday, August 6, 2005:
As families across the country enjoy the summer, Americans can be optimistic about our economic future. In the past four years, our economy has been through a lot: we faced a stock market decline, a recession, corporate scandals, an attack on our homeland, and the demands of an ongoing war on terror.
To grow the economy and help American families, we acted by passing the largest tax relief in a generation. And today, thanks to the tax relief and the efforts of America's workers and entrepreneurs, our economy is strong and growing stronger.
This past week, we learned that America added over 200,000 new jobs in July. Since May of 2003, we've added nearly 4 million new jobs. The unemployment rate is down to 5 percent, below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. And more Americans are working today than ever before in our nation's history.
We need to make the tax relief permanent, end the death tax forever, and make our tax code simpler, fairer and more pro-growth.
'Veterans for Peace' protesters demonstrating against the military policies of President Bush are stopped by Crawford City Police Department officers from trespassing onto school property in Crawford, Texas, August 6, 2005. About 70 [scuzzy Leftist] anti-war protesters marched towards Bush's ranch on Saturday shouting "bring the troops home now." The group was stopped about 5 miles (8 km) from the ranch.
Gordon Soderburgh of Humboldt Bay, Calif., center, and other Veterans for Peace anti-war protesters [all from other states] were stopped by a Crawford police officer from coming on to school property following a march in Crawford. The local Crawford school is being used as temporary workspace for White House press traveling with President Bush. [The only purpose for this so-called march and attempt to invade the school was to get media coverage. Soon as the scuzzy Leftists got what they came for, they left.]
Here! Thanks
So do you think the media will report that the guy standing on the bus steps in the #2 photo appears to be flipping the bird to the cops? Or that most of this group of 70 or so appear to be aging 1960's Leftist radicals trying to relive their youth?
Hi, STARWISE. Not much to report today, but I thought folks would enjoy this brief update. Catch that white-haired Willie Nelson wannabe. Apparently that guy never mentally matured past 22 or so. Wonder if he had a guitar on the bus, and if they were all singing "Where have all the flowers gone" on the trip to Crawford.
never mentally matured past 22 or so
You mean 16. I see these types around. usually
ret. teachers. I dealt with one the other day
with her anti war propaganda.
OH MAN HOTTIE ALERT
Rack those Cowboy Dubya photos LOL!
My turn to return the favour what is your choice?
Yeah, 16 sounds about right. Retired teachers...never thought of it, but that makes sense considering how the Left flooded into academia a couple of generations ago (at least).
OH that photo is classic I remember they were asking who is War leader NOW showing Clinton with the close bincolor while Dubya has open bincolor
LOL! Good day, Seven. From the female perspective, Dubya is a hottie in his jeans and cowboy hat. It's possible he's the hottest President ever, because looking back over history, I sure don't see any sitting president his equal in the hottie department. President Reagan was a great-looking man in his younger years, but was no longer a youthful man when he became president.
They had Lauren Bacall talking about her carrer she did mention the DUKE she was saying during filming of Shootist they have film certain hrs of the day to save Duke strength
This going sound rude I always thought of Robin Cook as p***y
It's probably true here, also. Certainly most younger children wouldn't recognize political bias in their teachers. Perhaps some high school kids might if they had an interest in politics. If a young person notices bias in their teachers at all, it's usually not until late high school or in college.
GOD I feel sorry for that son who died in Iraq that his mom doing this she must be flaming Liberial way before he enlist in the miltary I be so embarrass I wonder if she has any living relatives who be embarrassed
I know I would
Invading Dubya crib when he on Vacation
Grin...that's what they were, for sure. I think this photo is funny as heck. The aging radical with his arms crossed probably thought he could deal with the "backwoods, hick town" cop, but it's obvious that cop wasn't about to be pushed around by some dweeb from San Francisco (or wherever).
In the meantime, the old Willie Nelson wannbe has himself craned so far out of the window of the bus that he almost looks like a cut out doll.
:0)
Are American troops wonderful, or WHAT??
We are WINNING in IRAQ........don't let ANYONE convince you otherwise!!
