The president, vice president, and some Cabinet members met with CEOs of US auto manufacturers. Video and text here.

He also met with Senator Mel Martinez, R-FL, who was recently named to be the new head of the Republican National Committee.

Stocks rallied, the Dow-Jones Industrial Average hit a record high today. The S&P ended at its highest point since November 2000. Oil and gold prices slipped. The NASDAQ ended at its highest point since February 2001.

Bingo! He has done so much for this Country, and let's face it you can't please everyone constantly...he's not God for goodness sakes.

I'm not sure how stating my opinion that Steele should have gotten the RNC is negative!! But if that's the way you want it...I'll gladly leave!

***I'm sorry.......but I don't NEED this negativism tonight..........***

Me either. I am SO disappointed that negativism has become part of the ONLY thread on FR where we meet to celebrate the presidency of George W. Bush.

I agree with you. I really like Steele, but I'm sure W and crew have their reasons. I'm okay with that. I think we all just grew to really like Steele in this election. I'm sure we haven't heard the last from him....probably something a LOT better in the works for MS, THAT's for sure!

Gotta go feed the crew for real now ;-)

I hope all can let this pass away without anyone feeling the need to leave. We are all feeling a lot of post-election "stuff" just as our president and his administration are.

We are all rowing in the same direction, and raising a question about the president's leadership in an effort to understand where he's leading us is not always a bad thing.

DrDeb, thank you for your post.

On a very positive note, atop the Breaking News sidebar, we find:

Aide of al-Zawahiri arrested in Afghanistan (Abu Qais)
japantoday ^ | Nov 14 2006

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1738669/posts

ISLAMABAD — Coalition forces have arrested the right-hand man of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the number two in al-Qaida's high command, in Khowst in eastern Afghanistan a few days ago, Afghan Islamic Press reported Monday.

The Pakistan-based news agency quoted Khowst police chief Gen Mohammad Ayub as saying that Saudi national Abu Qais who was among the six people arrested in Khowst was the closest aide of al-Zawahiri

Well, I won't be here tomorrow night since we have choir practice. I need to go since we will have only one practice for the rest of the year. The next practice will be after the first of the year. It will give all of us a much needed break during the holidays.

Psalm 24

 1 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,
         The world and those who dwell therein.
 2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
         And established it upon the waters.
         
 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
         Or who may stand in His holy place?
 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
         Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
         Nor sworn deceitfully.
 5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD,
         And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
 6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
         Who seek Your face.  Selah  
         
 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
         And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
         And the King of glory shall come in.
 8 Who is this King of glory?
         The LORD strong and mighty,
         The LORD mighty in battle.
 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
         Lift up, you everlasting doors!
         And the King of glory shall come in.
 10 Who is this King of glory?
         The LORD of hosts,
         He is the King of glory.  Selah

You are not the only one. I have not turned on the news for that reason and I sure do not need or want it on this site and especially this thread. If y'all want to wallow in a pity party, then count me out.

I raised NO question about Bush's leadership at all. I simply want Steele as RNC, how that is negative, I haven't a clue.
