Welcome to Sanity Island, where only adults are allowed.

President Bush had a busy day today.

He met with General Petraeus in the Oval Office to discuss the War in Iraq.

Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, left, and Gordon England, Deputy Secretary of Defense. White House photo by Eric Draper

He welcomed President Garcia of Peru to the White House.

He later participated in a Meeting on Medicare Part D in the Roosevelt Room.

President George W. Bush addresses the press during a meeting about medicare in the Roosevelt Room April 23, 2007. "It took a monumental effort by a lot of citizens around the country to make the options that our seniors were given easy to understand," said President Bush. "In other words, we reformed Medicare and gave seniors a lot of choices, and it took a lot of loving Americans a lot of time to make these choices available for our senior citizens. Now that the plan is in place, 39 million have signed up for it, drug costs are less than anticipated, and the cost to the taxpayer is about $200 billion less than anticipated."

President Bush offered his condolences to the Yeltsin family and Russian people over the passing of Boris Yeltsin.

Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin. President Yeltsin was an historic figure who served his country during a time of momentous change. He played a key role as the Soviet Union dissolved, helped lay the foundations of freedom in Russia, and became the first democratically elected leader in that country's history. I appreciate the efforts that President Yeltsin made to build a strong relationship between Russia and the United States. We offer our sincerest condolences to the Yeltsin family and to the Russian people.

In the interest of sanity, let’s not discuss the current R contenders... it was a nasty weekend on FR and I’d still like this place to be an escape. That said... IF we have to do a hell thread, we can tell the truth, since we know the MSM won’t.

Yes, he’s always busy, but today he was able to have several moments of enjoyment with the Colts.

God Bless our President Bush.

Does anyone remember who it was in the media who said that they couldn’t take a side in the war on terror?

IIRC, more than one damn reporter/talking head has made that statement. They're "journalists" you know?
