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.

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.
feel sorry for those in the back eatting dirt!!!
Hi Theresa. So good to "see" you. What scares me the most is the idea that one of these days it won't be a fake bomb. Shudder.
Great pictures, Wolfstar! I love the pictures of President Bush with our soldiers.
Thanks. Doesn't it do your heart good to see him with the Marines and sailors.
Definitely. And I bet the Yahoo folks were disappointed that "Bobby Bible" looked so normal. Christians are supposed to be creepy and weird, ya know--that's the MSM template.
It's my very genuine pleasure to bring them to you. :)
Good thing you got it caught!! Both my daughters do not show regular symptoms with it. One had it go straight to her blood, and the other one had it go straight to her muscles. Each has only had it once, but they have to be very careful!
WOW! Wolfstar, the pics of the Mountains, the snow geese and the sunset are fantastic! As are the pics of our wonderful "W"! Thanks for your great work.. as always.
I hope they throw his backside (and the rest of him) into the klink for a very, very long time. Scum.
I have just read the new "Laura Bush" novel about her, and Bushie and the family and friends....you guys have got to read it....
We are talking about a 'LADY' here....smart, kind, gracious, loving, understanding, firm, spiritual....I just can't say enough about her....
I do hope you all pick up a copy, its worth every penny and then some.....
Thank you for the pictures
Hi Miss Marple. I'm delighted you enjoyed the photos of the California scenery the President is seeing this weekend, and also of the geese. Truly, watching a huge flock of snow geese settle on a refuge field prepared for them is a sight to behold. Sight and sound...the honking of the geese as they spiral down and pick their spots is also amazing.
wow- that top pic is my new desktop background!
Glad you found out what it was! Sorry if my long freepmail to you was too freaky - just food for thought. I was concerned about you.
Actually, taking the penicillin should help you feel better during exams. Good luck with them, BTW.
Outstanding! Thank you for Sanity Island!
I agree. A fake bomb should be treated like a real bomb--especially in this case. Give him the max.
See...I'm just the opposite. In spite of the screwy politics, waves of illegals, and insufferable Hollywood types, it would crush my heart if I had to leave this state.
Agreed. This is POST 9/11, not pre.
You're most welcome. Our Dubya is staying near Palm Springs and is seeing those vistas I showed you a glimpse of in the photos.
