At the White House, the president met with current and former Iraqi citizens, victims of Saddam Hussein's regime.
Laura Bush continues her African visit (with her daughter, Barbara). She criticized Senator Clinton for suggesting that the Republican-controlled House is run like a plantation where dissenting voices are ignored. "It's a ridiculous comment," Mrs. Bush told reporters when asked about the remark. She headed home after reaffirming the U.S. commitment to help Nigeria treat AIDS patients and stem the spread of HIV. She said she hoped that "one day an entire generation" will be free of the disease that has ravaged Africa. Earlier, Mrs. Bush drove to the dusty outskirts of Abuja to visit a small AIDS clinic where a young woman told her of how drugs helped her escape death from the disease. Mrs. Bush visited a hospital, where there were enough anti-retroviral drugs to treat 500 people over the next year. It is the first U.S.- backed shipment of the drugs St. Mary's has received through President Bush's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Americans Must Understand U.S. is at War: "The American people must remind themselves every day that the United States is at war, Army Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, speaking at the American Enterprise Institute here, said today."
Welcome to Sanity Island!
Freep me the details you want on the jpeg and I will do you one tomorrow night when I am preparing the dose.
It didn't make any difference to me. I check obsessively to see if it's up yet :)
I get it now.
Wow - that version of photobucket surely looks a lot different (and better) than my entry page.
Thanks for the great pics of the President and First Lady, they are always good food for the soul. If I didn't get to see them very often I would forget that there is still common sense, integrity and decency in the world.
Thanks. She's a sponge, a very ready learner. It is an awesome privilege to work with such a child.
Yes, caught those. Great photos. I don't think to check the WH site for Cheney pictures; I just have used what's up on Yahoo. But the WH almost always has better photos of W and Laura, so I'm sure the same is true for the VP.
Here is her EXACTLY quote:
Asked about the comment, Mrs. Bush joked that she didn't really think she could speak for God. Then she added that she believes Nagin wants New Orleans to be rebuilt.
"He wants people who lived in New Orleans to come back," Mrs. Bush said. "I do to, and I know the president does too. You know it's going to take a long time."
Hi GEM, love the pictures today. Laura is wonderful. I especially liked her rebuke to Hiliary - "It's a ridiculous comment". 'Nuff said.
Prayers up for the continued recovery of your little friend.
What is Chrissy's e-mail? I'll freep him for that.
Or even forget there is a Republican president! The fossilized media has helped to feed that ignorance in the general population. "If we don't report on him, the people will forget about him." What effort they put into not reporting, or not reporting factually, any good thing resulting from his awesome leadership! Imagine the force for good they could be if they just reported the facts, truthfully.
What absolutely wonderful news about Sabrina's little cousin. Thanks for telling us.
thank you all
Thanks, baseballmom. I didn't get a chance to find out what are the next stages of her recovery, but when I talk to Kristy next, I'll inquire.
She has a reverse Mohawk head shave.
Hi anonymous. You're welcome.
I particularly liked the one in the sand
Good evening Sara
Oh your so right, I think Americans on a whole would be much more confident, positive and less anxious in their daily lives if the media reported the truth.
Thanks; e-mail sent to him.
