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.
OH NO Snugs I don't have any fav could be Barney Miss Bezaley or Spotty but according to Wolfstar perhaps Barney and Miss Beazley think for them Crawford heat was too hot they stay in the house like smart dogs LOL!
Sorry abou that.... my last two posts have made absolutely no sense....Time to turn in....Sorry to miss all the fun!
Hope all our conservative voices stay on this hard until this woman and her lies are defeated.
Drudge is reading fromm that link now!
Drudge is reading from the same link of 6/04
"Drudge is reading from the same link of 6/04"
Excellent . . . thank you for the updates!
Now that I've sent all my e-mails, it's time for me to get to bed . . . I've got an early meeting tomorrow!
***At that time Gen. Douglas MacArthur's book had come out.
Admire him and did a report, wooo, major notes all over
the report on was a terrible person he was , etc. ***
WOW! That's really disgusting. A book report should be YOUR opinion, not the teacher's.
***My next door neighbor has a new sliver BMW with sun roof.
But no picture of W.***
No pix of W???? Down at the dealers, they're probably still laughing at the "dumb broad" who bought that car. LOL
Thanks for this great post Wolfstar. I love the pictures of the President with troops. Did you notice there were a lot to choose from? It says something about the president's character. I'm glad he goes out of his way to thank the troops, it is a good example for all of us.
Rumsfeld visits the CSI set to thank Sinise personally for his support of the "America Supports You" program through his "Operation Iraqi Children" effort.
Just sent the 2004 article on Cindy Sheehan on to Charlie Sykes, from Milwaukee's WTMJ. Hopefully he'll mention this on his radio show and on his website. I know he is aware of Code Pink and their evil tactics.
bttt
I agree. If the female character had been more important to the story (and if that character wasn't as hyper), then maybe the ending could've worked. But it wasn't all her fault.
Howard Hawks couldn't provide good roles (or good dialogue) for women. Red River is a great example. At the beginning of the movie there was another female character--Wayne's love interest. She was almost as annoying as the one that ruined the ending! Later, in the "Rio" Westerns that reunited Hawks with Wayne, he left out the women almost completely.
I think I read that she was Wayne's favorite actress, too--he enjoyed working with her more than anyone else.
Yes, and those were a selection from just the first two years of his presidency. There are literally hundreds of comparable photos over the past five years. I deliberately too the first two years to show that his love affair with the military goes back before 9/11/01, Afghanistan and Iraq.
I like this picture of the president relaxing on his rural estate. Mxxx
Factoids: John Wayne was 13 years older than her. And Maureen O'Hara was truly Irish. She was born in Dublin, Ireland.
Just wanted to let you know...I REALLY enjoyed this thread. I didn't get to it until today. Thanks for all you do.
Rent or buy Conagher (Sam Elliott) or Hondo (coming out in DVD soon, John Wayne) or The Quick and the Dead (Sam Elliott, not the other one).
There you have women in the West done well by Louis L'Amour, author of the books they were made from.
The writers were often at fault when all they could think of for a woman to do was scream hysterically or chatter nervously.
