wish someone had called in and told simpson, may GWB has conviction of his belief of what he is doing. and that a presidency by committee wouldn't help anyone!
Wow--that brings tears to my eyes (again).
snugs I agree with you totally that they should not publicly state their disagreements with the President but should do so privately...it drives me crazy when that's done but he always turns the other cheek...that's how he was raised....but what was so telling to me was when his dad President Bush 41 broke down when he was in Florida at a legislative event honoring his son Jeb now the former Gov of FL...he was proud of both of his sons but he was very hurt by those who speak out publicly against them from "friends"...I know it's caused some problems with our former First Lady and she is not known for holding her tongue when you speak untoward her children...you'd think by now their necks would be sore from whiplash:)
I'm almost surprised that there is a white house photographer there during that time. I'm not real sure that i would want one around.

I suspect in this 24/7 media age the only time there is not is in the private quarters in the evening and during the night and on such days as election night that is not even the case.
You know, Eleanor, you are amazing! For you to know about what Simpson says is really something. I so admire your knowledge and interest!
Indeed.
The Sunday morning talk show thread helps a lot :o)
So sad...
does anyone know how big Blair house is? I mean how many bedrooms, is it able to hold the whole family, or do some family members have to stay in a hotel?
I agree with you about folks trying to sink the President. They seem to think that since they were big shots before, that they know what needs to be done now. The world has changed since 1992, and these guys don't seem to be hip to the new tricks. They're like old generals; still fighting the last war.
Looking at the website it seems pretty big you can do a virtual tour etc - looks like an interesting site to visit when one has a bit time on your hands. It has the history etc etc of the house.

thanks snugs, i didn't know it had it's own web site! It is a historical building so i should have known that!
I didn't know about the website either!
I believe I read a similar comment you made on another day, and I think you are so right. Makes a lot of sense. He looks so incredibly sincere in these photos--and I am sure that is because he truly is sincere in his grief and in his desire to care for and comfort Mrs. Ford.
It's quite a lovely website. I have been "looking."
