After calling President Karzai of Afghanistan to discuss security measures and a potential visit, President Bush left the White House early this afternoon to go to Minnesota. In Minnetonka, he participated in a panel discussion on health care, and also signed an Executive Order to help increase the transparency of America's health care system - empowering Americans to find better value and better care. The order will require various federal agencies to compile information about the quality and price of health care they pay for, and share that information with their customers and each other. The White House website has posted a FACT SHEET about this order.
The President also attended a fundraiser for Minnesota Congressional Candidate, State Senator Michele Bachman after the panel discussion, and stopped for a frozen custard in Wayzata.
Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose!
I am but the satelite signal is breaking up but now it has gone into a break seems OK hopefully it will be watchable after the break.
BTW, stepmom is holding her own. She had her last round of chemo (BIG dose) and is recovering from that. The last CAT scan said the cancer is still shrinking a little - which is better than we hoped for. Her feet are numb and pain shoots up her legs, but we're trying to work on finding a solution to that - it's a side effect of the chemo.
We're having a little get-together with some of her friends this weekend. I've been asked to make my home-made bruchettta with fresh-picked plum tomatoes. :-P
