Over the Weekend President George W Bush concluded a 3 day visit to various Command Centres relating to Hurricane Katrina and Rita returning to the White House Sunday afternoon.

Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to the hospital for the elective surgery on his knees. It was announced after doing both knees (originally only one was to be done but surgery went so smoothly it was decided to do the other) that he might be in hopital for up to 48 hours, in fact he was only in for 27 hours and walked without any assistance to his limo early Sunday morning.

Today President Bush attended briefings with Interior Secretary Gale Norton and Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman and also delivers a Statement at the Department of Energy in Washington

Today it was expected that the Vice President would continue his recovery from his Saturday's surgery by working from home.

Today Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had private meetings at the State Department with East Timor Prime Minister Mari Bin Amude Alkatiri, Malaysia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Syed Hamid bin Syed Jaafar Albar and Brazil's Minister of Foreign Affairs Celso Amorim

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island

Hi snugs,

Is he telling Blanco to go sit in the corner?

[snugs]

I hope so as well he needs a couple of days pure rest but I doubt he will get it even if he goes to Camp David

[Echo Talon]

Blanco looks like "death" character in the movie "Bill & Teds excellent adventure"

I noticed over the weekend she seemed more appreciate of the President but then she was also asking the Federal Government for great sums of money at the same time, so I was a bit skeptical of her motives. I hope I was wrong.

I think they make you walk much sooner. When hubby had TKR surgery, he was up and walking up and down stairs at the hospital the same day. He was playing golf about 10 days or so later. Never had any trouble with it.

My heart just goes out to him. Then he has to listen to the litany of lies that the left spin against him. They are so desparate and they take it all out on him.

He went too late to Katrina....he went too soon to Rita. He can't win!

[MamaB]

That is what I was thinking. He sure has a lot on his shoulders.

[radiohead]

He could easily be pointing his finger AT Gov. Blanco

He's just polite and won't point at her directly. However, he is pointing his finger at a clip of Blanco on a tv monitor. : )

It does seem to be the way that all surgery is going. It is the same in the UK but you still have to be willing to do it and go through the pain and discomfort barrier.

I know a friend at work her grandmother had a hip replacement and she had a very long recovery because she was not willing to do the early walking etc.

snugs, yesterday I saw the President appear with Blanco after the briefing. He made a statement, and then Blanco, who was standing beside him, thanked him and started some mush-mouth talk. The Presidient got that scrunched-up look on his face he gets when he is disgusted. After she was done speaking, he just walked off. No small talk, nothing. I have NEVER seen him do that.

I don't think he is too thrilled with Governor Blanco.
