This morning, the President participated in a fundraiser for Congressional candidate Tim Bee before boarding Air Force One.

No doubt in my mind Pete Olson will make a fine United States congressman and I'm proud to be here to support him.
The President attended a private fundraiser for Olson late this afternoon. From there the President traveled on to his home in Crawford, Texas where he and Mrs. Bush will be staying this weekend.

Quote of the Day:
President Bush: (speaking on behalf of Congressional candidate Pete Olson in Houston, Texas)Our country faces some big issues, one of which is to make sure we defend our homeland against cold-blooded killers … Got to make sure we keep our taxes low. And one thing is for certain: We need to explore for more oil and gas here at home. People are worried about the high gasoline prices. One way to take the pressure off gasoline prices is to make it clear that the United States is going to be active about finding crude oil and natural gas right here in our own hemisphere, our own country.

Was Dr. DeBakey in the military, or does he get a spot at Arlington because he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal?
Anyone know?
President Bush visits with Mary Ward of Green Valley, Ariz., prior to his departure from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Ariz., Friday, July 18, 2008. Ward was presented with a Volunteer Service Award from the president for making a difference in the lives of others.

Some of those pics show that Dubtya is my kinda guy - given choice, he’ll hang out with the hotties in the crowd. ;-)

President Bush: It sure is good to be back in Houston, Texas. I am -- I've come back to help Pete Olson win the congressional seat in the 22nd congressional district. I'm proud to support him. He's a Rice University graduate; he went to the University of Texas Law School; Navy fighter pilot; proud father, loyal husband and a smart guy.Our country faces some big issues, one of which is to make sure we defend our homeland against cold-blooded killers; I'm convinced [Pete] Olson understands that. Got to make sure we keep our taxes low. And one thing is for certain: We need to explore for more oil and gas here at home. People are worried about the high gasoline prices. One way to take the pressure off gasoline prices is to make it clear that the United States is going to be active about finding crude oil and natural gas right here in our own hemisphere, our own country. And I'm convinced we can do so in environmentally friendly ways.
No doubt in my mind Pete Olson will make a fine United States congressman and I'm proud to be here to support him.
