MUST READ . . .
WE HAVE NOT TIRED, WE HAVE NOT FALTERED...
By Rich Galen
Last night President George W. Bush gave his final scheduled speech as President of the United States. At noon next Tuesday, a new President will take the oath of office and the peaceful transfer of power from one American to another will take place as it has 44 times before.
President Bush had been in office for less than eight months when the terrorists struck on September 11, 2001. Ten days later, a relatively untested President said of terrorism, we will “Stop it. Eliminate it. And destroy it where it grows.”
The President threw down the gauntlet to the rest of the world saying, “You have a decision to make: You are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
And in that speech President Bush said, “Whether we bring them to justice or bring justice to them; Justice will be done.”
In the seven years which have gone by since the goals of the new Administration of George W. Bush were refocused forever, American has been safe from attack. That may not be the case forever; probably will not be the case forever, but unless we are attacked in the next four days it will not have happened on George W. Bush’s watch.

MY TRIP TO MIDLAND, TX FOR THE PRESIDENT’S ‘WELCOME HOME’ CELEBRATION!
Hubby and I leave tomorrow morning for Midland, TX . . . We’re going to do our ‘hot monogamy’(a term used by ohiowfan to describe our First Couple’s relationship) version of a ‘Thelma & Louise’ roadtrip . . . We’ll arrive in Midland on Monday (1/19); the celebration is on Tuesday (1/20) . . . This will give us a day and a half to see all the sites including the President’s childhood home!. . . Hubby has his portable PC ready to go so that I’ll be able to provide you with ‘on the scene’/’behind the scene’ reporting and photos . . . I’m psyched!
See ya then!
There is also a “childhood home” here in my town. Look on
my homepage for a picture of it. It’s the first home they
owned when they moved to West Texas from the East Coast.
It’s at the Presidential Museum, which you might enjoy
visiting!
Happy for You!! Wish I was able to be There!!
:)
That other thing on TV will be too painful to watch.
*snort* "Hot Monogamy", I love it!
I'm glad you'll be able to go to Midland. You and LUV take as many photos as you can!
Wow....DrDeb.......great news that you and your hubby will welcome home our wonderful W and beautiful Laura. Now the rest of us know we will be represented and President Bush will receive a warm and enthusiastic welcome home!
Will wait for your great report and pics.
Thanks for all you do!
