Thanks for correcting me
President & Mrs. Bush continue their vacation at their home in Crawford, Texas.
It was announced today that President Bush will welcome President John Kufuor of the Republic of Ghana to the White House next month.
President and Mrs. Bush visited Ghana in February 2008 and welcome the opportunity to return the generous hospitality that President and Mrs. Kufuor and the Ghanaian people extended to them during the visit.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
Gordon Johndroe: Good morning. The President had a rather full morning this morning, so let me run through it and then I'll be happy to take your questions.The President started his day by recording the radio address; the topic is energy. The President urges Congress to work with him to expand domestic oil production and take meaningful steps now to address the pain caused by high energy prices.
He then heard from Secretary Rice on her trip to Baghdad and received an update from his national security team on the current situation in Iraq; that was by secure video. He then had his normal intelligence briefing after that, also by secure video. President Bush spoke to Prime Minister Maliki of Iraq. The two discussed the agreement we are currently working on with the Iraqis and agreed that our teams would continue those discussions.
After that, the President spoke by phone to French President Sarkozy. The President expressed his condolences to President Sarkozy and the people of France for the soldiers recently lost in Afghanistan. The two discussed President Sarkozy's recent trip to Afghanistan. They also shared assessments on the situation in Georgia. The two agreed that Russia is not in compliance and that Russia needs to come into compliance now.
Also, next week the President will return to Washington on Wednesday. On Friday, the President meets with the President of Tanzania in the Oval Office, and that evening the President will attend, at the United States Marine Corps Barracks in Washington, the Evening Parade.

POLLING UPDATE — results that you won’t read about ANY WHERE else:
1.) The BATTLEGROUND POLL released earlier this week once again puts the President’s PERSONAL APPROVAL RATING at approximately 60% (with almost 40% STRONGLY APPROVING).
http://www.tarrance.com/082008/BG-35-questionnaire.pdf
The President’s personal approval rating leads the pollster to conclude that history will treat the President kindly; after all, once out of office, Presidents tend to be judged more for the content of their character rather than the success or failure of their policies — which is why ratings for Presidents Reagan and Bush 41 INCREASED after they left office while Clinton’s ratings (as measured by leftist leaning polls no less) initially DECREASED and even now hover at the 50% mark — lower than the average JA rating for his presidency!
2.) The August IBD/TIPP (Investor’s Business Daily) POLL puts the President’s job approval rating at 42.8%. [Note: IBD/TIPP was THE most accurate pollster during the 2004 election cycle.] Unsurprisingly, the MSM pollsters (to include the FoxNews pollster, Opinion Dynamics — the LEAST accurate of the major pollsters during the 2004 election cycle) continue to manufacture polls that put the President’s JA ratings in the high 20s/low 30s . . . Have I mentioned lately how much I despise the media (and their pollsters)?!

This should be fun:
PARTY TIME: BUSH PLANS RARE STATE DINNER, NO.6
WASHINGTON - Break out the tuxedoes and fancy gowns. It’s time for a rare state dinner at the White House.
Not fond of parties, President Bush has thrown only five state dinners in the nearly eight years of his presidency.
No. 6 will be held on Sept. 15 in honor of Ghana’s president, John Kufuor, an Oxford-educated leader who came into power about the same time Bush did. Kufuor is given credit for economic reforms, open government and regional leadership. Ghana, working through the United Nations, has sent peacekeepers to Lebanon, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Pakistan and the Balkans.
