President Bush meets with Australian Prime Minister John Howard ahead of the APEC summit at the Commonwealth Parliament Offices in Sydney, Australia, Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2007
U.S. President George W. Bush shakes hands with Australia's Prime Minister John Howard (L) in Sydney, September 5, 2007.
Mooo !!
My apology for the late dose, but I was waiting on the White House page to post photos and the news about the president's trip to Sidney
Quote to the DIMS.....”I am the president and you are NOT!!!”
:D
G’day everyone! Your local Bushbot reporting ...
Happy to report that President Bush has arrived safely in Sydney.
I sat up last night and watched on cable tv Air Force One arriving. That was rather amusing as the commentators had no idea if the plane was AF1 or the replica that had landed at 10:27pm....They were still debating whether it was AF1 meanwhile the plane was taxiing towards the VIP area rather quickly. Then the doors opened and minutes later the President bounded down the steps! Oh yeah ...that is AF1!
It was interesting for me to see live on TV how it is all done to get the President de-planed, through the meet-and-greet then into his limo. It was all very quick!
Prime Minister Howard did not meet the President at the airport last night; he was busy at our football (rugby league) player of the year awards and made an amusing aside that he hoped that his friend would understand that football takes prescedence over official visits. Howard does love football; he supports St George Illawarra - they have had a frightful year and so has the PM. Not long until election time for him and it will probably be his last hurrah.
The President is staying at one of the finest hotels in Sydney not far from the Sydney Opera House; that’s where all the APEC meetings will take place. What a venue! I hope the weather holds even though it has been forescast to rain until Saturday. Boo! Hiss!
President Bush and PM Howard have met this morning and are holding a joint presser (even as I write) which includes local lunatic media.
Speaking of lunatics...yes, rent-a-crowd are out in force with the predictable chants, slogans ... blah, blah. Fortunately they will kept well away from the President and left to rant in the pouring rain (tee hee).
PB has a busy schedule whilst he is town and there will be plenty of photo ops in some of the city’s most spectacular places. I hope he gets to have a little local exposure as the majority of us folks and fauna are really quite friendly!
Local web sites that have coverage of APEC include:
http://www.smh.com.au
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph
I can’t guarantee you journalistic integrity (is that an oxymoron?) on the sites but at least the pix will be good!
I’ll keep y’all posted.....
Thanks Kas, great pics.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Thank you for all the wonderful pictures of George The most Wonderful !!! Once again, I can say, there has not been a day, in the last seven years that I have not been proud of President George W. Bush, I voted right!
Any of Dana Perino today? :)
Thanks for the ping Kas - sorry was not up live last night but had birthday dinner for a friend and by the time he left I was tired and went to bed.

I love the lead of the IBD Editorial that Dr Deb posted on yesterday's thread.
"Iraq War: With the arrival of the commander-in-chief in Iraq's once-forbidden Anbar province, the surge is now complete. The two most powerful boots in the world are on the ground, and they aren't running away."
Thanks for the Dose! GWB looks wonderful in that gray suit. Love the AF1 photos.
Two great men!
Presidents George Bush and John Howard!
May they live long and prosper as they used to say on the "Star Trek" series ;o)
Thanks for posting the DOSE thread Kaslin!
