In a busy day of campaigning today, President Bush made two fundraising appearances starting with a reception for Representative Rick Renzi in Scottsdale, Arizona where he also signed H.R. 5441 - the Homeland Security Appropriations Act funding the border fence - and then a reception for Colorado gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez in Englewood, Colorado. In his speeches he emphasized the importance of electing Republicans in the interest of our nation's security and strength.
Also today First Lady Laura appeared at two Republican fundraisers, one for Representative Curt Weldon in Springfield, Pennsylvania, and later for Representative Tom Reynolds in Amherst, New York and was interviewed on a youth radio station in Buffalo and attended a mock trial.
In addition, the Bush economy achieved new heights today as the Dow closed at 11,850...........the highest in history!
Today we are doing a special tribute, not only to our great President, but also to our friend and fellow Freeper, Tony Snow. If you'd like to contribute comments, we welcome your input, but we ask that all comments remain positive toward both the President and Tony to keep this our 'Sanity Island.'
This is for you, Tony...............you are a perfect compliment to the President whom we deeply respect and admire. You are a Godly man - witty, intelligent and combative in a gentlemanly sort of way, just as he is, and have proven to be the perfect spokesman for President Bush. You are, as he is, a joy to watch as you defend the facts against the onslaught of seemingly braindead pseudo-journalists' attacks disguised as questions, and we smile every day as you clean their intellectual clocks in defense of the President's strong, well reasoned, pro-American policies.
Many of us have prayed for you through your illness, thanking God for your recovery, and as you made the difficult decision to leave broadcasting to become President Bush's Press Secretary, and we thank God for not only your health but also your decision to sacrifice much to serve your country as you serve the President.
We know that you are self-effacing and humble (another characteristic you share with your boss), and won't take credit for the changes in style at the White House, but we also know that you have had a hand in a stronger, feistier White House presentation, and for that we thank you.
On this thread we express our deep and well-founded admiration for President Bush daily, but on this day, we have chosen to include you in our tribute to jobs well done.
Thank you, Tony, for all you do for your country, your President, and us!
Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose! These are great times to be a Bushbot..........AND a Snowflake!!

First! Congratulations, dinasour!
Still waiting for all clear.
*snoq*
That's ALL you can say? LOL!
> Please refrain from posting or reposting photos or graphics until the ALL CLEAR!! Thanks!
I hate rules.
Please post respectful tributes to PRESIDENT BUSH and TONY SNOW!
Photographs, quotes, anecdotes..........whatever you'd like!
(I have a few that have been freepmailed to me that I'm going to retrieve and post).
I thought it was kinda cool too. :)
Hey there, radiohead!
If you want on, or off, the Tony Snow ping list, please FReepMail dinasour.
You're welcome, tom. Glad you could stop by.....
Hey HC........here we are! :)
I was just thinking this morning how much I miss listening to Tony's radio show every morning.
I love our President and pray for him daily, and I'm grateful that he loves the job!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the hard work you do for our President. I have often said that I consider him a brother, and now that you have joined the family, that is how I feel about you, too.
When you had your radio show you were kind enough to take my call once, even though I disagreed with you. Your kindness and respect for my opinion were an example which many in talk radio should emulate.
I was overjoyed that you took this position, and I have noticed how hard you have worked to be informed in order to answer the reporters, even though facing that crew must require a great deal of prayer and fortitude.
I want you to know that almost every night I pray a Rosary for you and for President Bush. I firmly believe God is guiding you both.
Thank you, and may God continue to watch over you and the President.
