PRESIDENT BUSH VISITS AREA TO HONOR FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS

EMMITSBURG, MD - President Bush made a stop in the Four-State region Sunday for the 26th Annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend in Emmitsburg.

He addressed a crowd of about 5,000 people and joined them as they paid their respects for 91 firefighters who died in the line of duty.

“No words can ease the ache in your hearts. At this difficult time, we will try to help by taking you into our arms,” the President said.

The President offered words of comfort as friends, family, and co-workers gathered to remember and honor their loved ones who died in the line of duty.

“I hope our presence can heal your hearts just a little bit,” he said.

The names of the firefighters were called as President Bush waited in a receiving line to greet and hug the family and friends of each of the 91 fallen men and women.

“For him to take the time out, that was awesome,” said Bill Kerns, who came to honor his sister-in-law. “I know my mother-in-law and my father-in-law went up to meet him and accepted the flag from him, and I’m sure they’re touched by it.”

JENNA’S BOOK PARTY DRAWS PROUD DAD

Jenna Bush’s book party was very much a family affair at the Hay-Adams Friday night. Her mother, Laura Bush, was there to introduce her, also twin sister Barbara, aunt Doro Bush Koch, uncle Marvin Bush, fiance Henry Hager, and — a last-minute surprise for most of the guests — her father, the president.

During an appreciative tribute to both her parents, Jenna thanked her father warmly for coming, noting simply that, “He doesn’t leave the house much these days.”

“It was touching; he was so happy he blushed with pleasure,” said Buffy Cafritz, who just happened to be standing next him.

DEAR ALBERTO: THANKS FOR THE MEMOS
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, October 05, 2007 4:20 PM PT

War On Terror: Democrats are fuming over revelations that Alberto Gonzales’ Justice Department issued memos ruling the CIA’s tough interrogation techniques to be legal. Never have so many saved lives caused such anger.

A few weeks ago, congressional Democrats ran President Bush’s top law enforcement officer and close adviser and friend out of town. There was no question of lawbreaking; they simply found it outrageous that an attorney general might actually operate in accord with the wishes of the president who appointed him.

Now, thanks to yet another spilling of government secrets pertaining to our struggle against terrorism from the New York Times, we can see that Alberto Gonzales was undeniably a big reason the U.S. homeland has not suffered a post-9/11 terrorist attack — not the villain some would depict him as, but a hero. [A Note from DrDeb: At some point, both the President and his closest advisors will ALL be acknowledged as heroes — I just hope we (particularly the President) live long enough to enjoy it!
