QUOTE(s) OF THE DAY

From the President's Radio Address ~~ November 17, 2007

Excerpt:

"Good morning. In a few days, our Nation will celebrate Thanksgiving. Like millions of Americans, members of Congress will travel home for the holiday. Unfortunately, as they get to work carving their turkeys, they're leaving a lot of unfinished work back in Washington, D.C. And unless they complete this work soon, middle-class Americans will pay higher taxes and American troops will not receive the critical funding they need to fight and defeat our enemies.

Many middle-class taxpayers will face higher tax bills unless Congress acts on the Alternative Minimum Tax, or AMT. The AMT was designed to ensure that the wealthy paid their fair share of taxes. But when Congress passed the AMT decades ago, it was not indexed for inflation. As a result, the AMT's higher tax burden is creeping up on more and more middle-class families."

*snip*

On Wednesday, the House passed a bill that once again has Congress directing our military commanders on how to conduct the war in Iraq as a condition for funding our troops.

We do not need members of Congress telling our commanders what to do. We need Congress listening to our military commanders and giving them what they need to win the war against extremists and radicals.

Congress knows I'll veto this bill. During this time of war, our troops deserve the full support of Congress -- and that means giving our troops the funding they need to successfully carry out their mission. I urge Congress to work quickly and send me a clean bill so we can fulfill our obligation to our brave men and women in uniform."

Thanks Doc, great article.

Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops

[GOP_Lady]

Outstanding! Outstanding! Outstanding!

[Freee-dame]

W looks very tired. He surely does need our prayers.

[DrDeb]

I just love the ‘toaster’ photo of the President and his mother — it touches my ‘maternal’ heart!

[DrDeb]

The President is going to leave office with an amazing legacy — he resuscitated our economy and he kept us safe after 911 (and freed 50 million souls in the process)!

jtill, thank you for your prayers. Prayer IS wonderful and that so many people who did not know us were praying for us was overwhelming. I thank God often, try to do it every night but sometimes I nod off in the middle of my thanks to Him. Then when I wake up, I thank Him for giving me such a good night's rest.

Snugs, you know as well as anyone and better than most how hard it is to be a caregiver and to take care of yourself. I have gained much respect for those of you who have done this for lots longer than I have.

There was another photo of the First Lady today coming out of Church but it was not any better and I agree, what a shame as I love her black outfit and jewelry. Rarely does she take a bad photo...W has a miffed expression in the first two photos, also, but looks like his old self in the third one.

"“With our soul, with our blood we will die for you Iraq,”

A wonderful article. Thanks for posting it.

[daisyscarlett]

Thank you.

I loved your Sat. dose especially the article about the Sr. Bush's speech at Jenna's appearance. What a great family. I was impressed that 41 did single out Jenna's achievement but included all his grandchildren in his praise.

[STARWISE]

They’re a rock solid, terrific family.

[snugs]

I thought he had his media exasperated expression I suspected that a photographer or reporters either said something or maybe is one that he does not care for from previous experience.

[Kaslin]

Good evening and thanks for the ping

[snugs]

A wise grandfather it is important to praise one if they have achieved but also important not to forget the others.

[daisyscarlett]

Not many photos today but seeing W coming out of Church is so uplifting to many of us, myself included.

Awesome article, Deb. A snippet from it ... it was at Besmaya where the Iraqi soldiers donated $1,000 for the CA fires.

What wonders our merciful God creates.

~~~~~~

“At the Besmaya Training Camp, where soldiers are trained by a joint Iraqi-U.S. team, young graduates waited nervously for the prime minister to arrive as they practiced chants and waved unloaded M-16s in the air.”

*****Hey everyone***

The other night I told you I was reading The Terrorist Watch...you really have to read this book!!

Anyway, it says that the grenade that was thrown at President Bush while he was giving a speech in the country of Georgia, was a live one, that the 'two spoons' that were suppose to disengage got stuck,if it HAD gone off President Bush would be DEAD!!! The secret service did NOT KNOW that the Georgians were running out of time to get the 150,000 people through the magnetometers, so they just shut them off and let everyone in!!!!!!!

Thank you Jesus for protecting this man!!!!

[NordP]

Oh my...that explains the "thread of goodness" I felt when shaking his hand.

George W. Bush was meant to lead at this time in history. It is his destiny.

And it PROVES God loves the U.S.A., liberty, and freedom.

AND WE MUST ALL DO OUR PARTS TO KEEP THE GOODNESS GOING.

Vote. Call. Write. Walk Precincts. Volunteer. Make a difference.

[STARWISE]

OMG ... we were so stunned and frightened by that at the time.
Thank you, Lord.

[STARWISE]

Amen!
