A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos): 9-12-08
WhiteHouse.gov & other sources ^ | 9-12-08

Posted on 09/12/2008 5:47:01 PM PDT by silent_jonny

President Bush received updates on Hurricane Ike throughout the day.

Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto: He's very comfortable that Texas emergency management authorities are doing everything they can. They have a very strong team down in Texas for dealing with the hurricanes. Obviously our thoughts and prayers are with the residents in the affected areas. The President encourages all the residents of Texas to listen to the guidance they're getting from their local emergency management authorities. And if they're getting direction to evacuate, to do it quickly; but just to pay very close mind to their personal safety and listen to the guidance of local emergency management officials.

The President will continue to receive updates during the day and when he returns back in Washington today keep as close as possible to events in Texas and -- obviously a part of the country you know that he knows very well. (Source)

The President traveled to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma today to participate in a roundtable discussion on health care (Transcript) and to attend a private Republican Party fundraiser.

Arriving at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, President Bush greeted military personnel and made a statement about the approaching hurricane. (Transcript)

I am deeply concerned about Hurricane Ike. It is a major storm headed toward a large population soon. I was on the phone this morning with Secretary Chertoff and Director Paulison of FEMA. I spoke to my friend, Governor Perry, yesterday. The state of Texas is preparing for this emergency. I suspect there's going to be some Texans headed for Oklahoma. And I know that they're going to find good people up here who want to help them.

First Lady Laura Bush spoke at the Service Nation Summit in New York City today. . (Transcript)

The Week Ahead

Saturday & Sunday: The President & First Lady will be at the White House.

Monday: President & Mrs. Bush will welcome the President of Ghana and his wife to the White House. Later, the two leaders will deliver a joint press conference from the Rose Garden. That night, the First Couple will hold a state dinner for the President of Ghana at the White House.

Tuesday: To be announced.

Wednesday: President & Mrs. Bush will welcome the President of Panama to the White House and will have a state dinner for him also that night.

Thursday & Friday: To be announced.

Q What about travel for the hurricane, are you expecting that?

Tony Fratto: I'll let you know if we have anything.

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island

Jonny you explain...too busy laughing...

LOL!

Well, if I remember correctly, "fack" was a typo. I forget who said it, but they meant to type "face"--and coincidentally I believe it had to do with blushing, like "is your fack [face] getting red". From there "fack" took on a life of it's on :)
