I'd be worn out too if I had all those idiots second guessing everything I was doing. I hope he's getting lotsa rest. All those campaigns are coming up and, despite what the MSM thinks, he's going to be making a lot of appearances.
AWESOME photos . . . the President is never more relaxed and inspired that when he is interacting with his troops -- and vice versa!

PART I:
TELL ME -- WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK OF TONY BLAIR, MR PRESIDENT?

'How would you like to see the world's two greatest living dogs?" asked President Bush, as he led me over to a side window in the Oval Office. On the lawn outside, his secret service detail was engaged in exercising the Bush family's two Scottish terriers, Barney and Miss Beazley.
"So, what do you think of them?"
Drawing on my limited knowledge of the subject, I said that I understood terriers had a reputation for being good with children. "Well, these dogs are good with no one," he remarked with a chuckle.
He then asked what I thought of the Oval Office. Attempting to enter the President's playful mood, I said that it looked "kind of round". "No, it's oval," he immediately corrected me.
Wearing a plain grey suit with well-polished black cowboy boots, the President appeared trim and fit for a man who would soon be celebrating his 60th birthday. More than a year into his second term, Bush is already starting to think about his legacy. Work has begun on the planning of his presidential library (in Dallas, Texas) - but he is under no illusion that his presidency will ultimately be judged on the success or failure of the Iraq mission.

'WE WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSE EVEN IF 9/11 HADN'T HAPPENED'

Tony Blair had just finished a video conference with George W. Bush when I arrived to meet him at Downing Street. Their conversation, inevitably, had been mainly about Iraq. "Every week, we have a video conference to catch up on things," he explained. Compared with the fresh-faced young man who swept into Downing Street in 1997, the burdens of high office, together with the relentless attacks on his judgment and integrity, had undoubtedly taken their toll.
