A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos): 9.5.06

The president met with the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, in the Oval Office.

He gave a speech in Washington, DC, on his national strategy to combat terrorism.

Bush nominated Mary Peters, a former Federal Highway administrator, to replace Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.

Our intrepid Secretary of Defense faced the surgeon's knife today, having successful arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff (left shoulder). Eric Ruff, the Pentagon press secretary, said Rumsfeld's cuff tear was caused by "an old athletic injury." Rumsfeld wrestled in college and is an avid squash player.

ohioWfan and I exchanged days to post the Dose.

Thanks for the Dose.

I'm up - trying to solve a plumbing problem and just decided that it's beyond my ability. Going to bed, to call a plumber in the AM who hopefully will respond within the day. The toilet in the bathroom off of this office I'm sitting in is leaking like a sieve and I'd try to fix it if only the cutoff valve weren't also leaking. Without being able to cutoff the water, I'm not up for attempting to fix the leaking ballcock - so it's up to a plumber.

I'll watch him as he works and probably hate myself for calling him - as I'm sure the solution is simple. But at this hour, I'm stumped, tired, sweaty, and pooped to boot. I give up. I bought the replacement parts but not being able to cut off the water was the final blow in my "Do Is Yourself" attempt. Rats.

I heard the President's speech today - bold, proud, filled with facts. I hope the Dims were listening. They of the "new plan" don't seem to know that the President is doing such an excellent job in this War on Terror and the Iraq war. God bless our President.

I couldn't agree with your points more. I was talking to a friend today, arguing that it disgusts me that the White House doesn't come out against the Democrats talking points moe than they do. At least, Tony Snow has been letting them get away with less and less in the Gaggle and the Press Briefings. But still....... I think the President has this idea (mistaken is my humble opinion) that the facts will "will" out, that the American public will find out that he was right all along, and that he doesn't need to counter the Democrat taling oints, points by point.

But the truth is that the Democrats get their points out there, without ceasing, over and over and over, and without the White House countering them, the American public gets brain washed into thinking that the Democrats are right. Unfortunately, the President has to make his case, over and over and over again. It's the only way to counter the lies of the Left and I hope that he does more of what he did today - point by point, listing the things that Al Qaeda would like to do to us, and their agenda. He needs to say this more than once.

He needs to say it, over and over.

Repeatedly. He needs to make his case that he is doing what is required in the War on Terror. I hope he's learned the lesson that the truth just doesn't come out by itself; that he has to make the case before the American public, over and over.

I sound like a broken record, with the "over and over" but truthfully, it's what the Democrats do, and if the White House doesn't fight back the same way, I'm afraid the debate goes in favor of the Democrats just because of repetition.

You made my day that I helped even a little bit!

I've said it before...I don't know what I would have done without Freeper Help the night my Dad died, and my Mom called me to give me the news. I was like a deer in headlights. I couldn't move. I just typed and cried. Normally, I'm an A personality type that does everything for everyone else and faster than just about anyone else....but I couldn't think enough to complete a sentence.

You'll get through this, and so will your son. Be strong for him, and count on us for help!

I think it hard to trust a "man" in a dress.
