Today President Bush met with Tom Bock, the national commander of the American Legion in the Oval Office, as well as John Sommer, executive director of the American Legion's Washington office and Jim Nicholson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
He also met in the Oval Office with Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt to discuss key elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
First Lady, Laura and daughter Barbara were in Ghana today, where Mrs. Bush addressed an audience at the Accra Teacher Training College in Accra, Ghana, to launch the African Education Initiative Textbooks Program. They also visited with patients at the Korle-Bu Treatment Center, and with Peace Corps volunteers, marking its 45th anniversary this year.
Former President George H.W. Bush was in Pakistan today visiting survivors of the 2005 earthquake.
Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island and the Daily Dose!
LOL! Poor fellow. I assume you didn't date long? :)
Yes, Aside from being a First Lady who represents her country well she is just one heckuva human being and so is her husband and family. They are just nice people. Period. I will miss them terribly when their term is up but will take great comfort in knowing we had a REAL MAN and a REAL FIRST LADY in the White House for 8 years. They will deserve their rest and relaxation after the hell hole of DC.
I got the impression that the main thing altura was referring to was his somewhat extravagant arm gestures and how out of place they appear for someone sitting next to the president in the Oval Office during the ordinarily sedate photo op where everyone else I've seen in that chair sits quietly, smiles, and shakes the president's hand.
Choice.
Thanks, Deb. I have it on order from the library.
