PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President Bush will spend much of his day with Marines and sailors, attending church and joining them for lunch at the base in Twentynine Palms, CA.
Last night in Indian Wells, near Palm Springs, GWB helped pull in nearly $2 million for the RNC at the Toscana Country Club. Tomorrow, after a speech on immigration in Orange County, the President heads for Las Vegas and a fundraiser for Nevada Congressman Jon Porter. From the podium, the President mentioned dignitaries in attendance such as Dug Sundheim, California Republican Party chairman; Bruce McPherson, Secretary of State; Sen. Chuck Poochigan, R-Fresno, a candidate running unopposed in the June Republican Primary for Attorney General; Steve Poizner, running unopposed for the Republican nomination for Insurance Commissioner and U.S. Reps. Connie Mack, R-FL, and Mary Bono, R-Palm Springs, who happen to be dating but were seated at different tables. In his remarks, the President highlighted the War on Terror and how students need to be prepared for the future.
After his lunch and visit with the Twentynine Palms base Marines and sailors, GWB is expected to spend the rest of the weekend at an undisclosed location in Rancho Mirage.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: Over the past couple of days, the President spoke publicly on a number of issues -- too many to single out one quote. So I've linked to three important transcripts on the White House website. With these links at your disposal, you can read the transcripts at your convenience.
President Bush Discusses Advanced Transportation Technology in CaliforniaPresident Congratulates Iraqi Leadership on National Unity Government Agreement
Folks who have been following this presidency closely from the beginning know that President Bush has been trying to get Congress to pass a comprehensive energy bill ever since 2001. Here is a link to the President's Letter to the American People about his Advanced Energy Initiative, and a summary of the initiative. For those interested, the linked WhiteHouse.gov page also contains a link to download a .PDF copy of the complete Advanced Energy Initiative document. Other than cutting back on our driving and other uses of gasoline, we can't do much about the soaring costs of fuel in the short term. However, we can help the President ensure a more energy-secure future for us and our children and grandchildren. I urge all Dosers (active and lurking) to familarize themselves with the President's proposals, and to pressure your congressional representatives and senators to pass either the entire initiative or those portions of the proposals with which you agree.
The AF1 exhibit at the Reagan Library is only about a year old. I would have to assume the architects and builders used the latest techniques to strengthen the exhibit against earthquakes.
As someone who lives in Southern California, I'd be more worried about the brush fires that sweep through those valley areas much more frequently than significant earthquakes do.

At the following newspaper website, you will find LOTS of information (including an almost minute by minute blog) of the President's activities today, including his unscheduled visit with President Gerald Ford and his wife Betty.
[Also included is a detailed overview of the President's 'limo' discussion with Congresswoman Bono (yes, THAT Bono)!]

Yay! We finally got a picture of the bike trek. I was afraid that we would have to do with the old ones.
Great pictures, Wolfstar. The president is at his best when he is with our troops. No wonder they love him!
Just beautiful pics. Love the geese.
"See, part of being a leader is: you can't lead unless you know where you want to go. You can't say 'follow me' and not have a destination. We have a destination in mind, and that is a freer world.
snugs, What is the reputation of Con Coughlin in political terms, where does he sit on the scale of partisanship? I notice that his book is published by the Telegraph, so assume that he is a conservative of some nature.
