Today President Bush met with reporters in the Diplomat Reception Room in the White House to talk about the positive economic news, later he attended the Nathional Catholic Prayer Breakfast where he spoke to those in attendance. Late this afternoon the President and the First Lady attended a banquet for Andy Card (outgoing Chief of Staff) at the Blair House directly across Pennsylvania Ave from the White House
QUOTE OF THE DAY: " THE PRESIDENT: " We needed a hopeful moment for this world of ours. It's a time when more people have a chance to claim freedom that God intended for us all. It's also a time of great challenge. In some of the most advanced parts of our world, some people no longer believe that the desire for liberty is universal. Some people believe you cannot distinguish between right and wrong. The Catholic Church rejects such a pessimistic view of human nature -- (applause) -- and offers a vision of human freedom and dignity rooted in the same self-evident truths of America's founding.
This morning we ask God to guide us as we work together to live up to these timeless truths. When our founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they called liberty an unalienable right. An unalienable right means that freedom is a right that no government can take away because freedom is not government's to give. (Applause.)
Freedom is a gift from the Almighty because it is -- and because it is universal, our Creator has written it into all nature. To maintain this freedom, societies need high moral standards. And the Catholic Church and its institutions play a vital role in helping our citizens acquire the character we need to live as free people."
