All of April and the start of May 2009 find us still being bombarded by the media hyping up the first 100 days of President Obama with no sign of it dying down. Following the introduction to the monthly thread I will post some photos to remind us of the first few days of the first May of the George W Bush Presidency - those were the days.
The quote I have chosen for this month are remarks made during Commander-In-Chief Trophy Event at the South Portico on May 4, 2001.
Tomorrow I will post some more photos from May 2001 I am sure we will see the contrast what we see and hear from the first few months of the Bush Presidency to the Obama Presidency will make us realise even more so how much more respect and love GWB had for the office and the country and more importantly the individual citizens rather than just special interest groups as the current President does not even bother to try to hide.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
...and another kind of hat....
Enjoy!!!
Ah...the good 'ol days, when adults ran things.
Thanks!
No kidding about the “adults running things”....we have turned the government over to the inmates and the kindergartners! They have no clue....and that is VERY dangerous for the country!
“Do you think it can be believed?”
I wouldn’t doubt it, but evidently Gibbs didn’t say it. See post #108 in this thread, or post #27 in the original thread.

Thank you so much! I’ve missed your “dose” so much! Seeing these wonderful photos has made my day! God bless you, Snugs, and God bless President and Mrs. Bush.
Thank you dear STARWISE, for the happy tears! The President looks so relaxed! I hope those students appreciated him! Oh, to rub shoulders so to speak, with such a great man!
My beloved Mother calls him the “Kenyan”.
Thanks Always Snugs/Eleanor for putting up The Thread & T hanks Luvee for the ping to the additional W pics!! :)
HUGS to Both and to Snugs Dad, Bryon!!!<3!!!
Enjoy, Gal! :D
Oh say but I am!:)
Where’s that pic taken off California coast — the one where he is wearing some sort of flight suit or other???
Thanks for the post!!!!
Cheers!!! I miss Vice-President Cheney, too!!!!
Bush may not have been perfect,

Whom do you know or have ever known in
your life to be perfect ???
It’s a patently ludicrous statement.
I’m so tired of seeing that idiotic
qualifier, and particularly when applied
to Pres. Bush. As if ...........
I can’t even bring myself to call him “president”.
Many on FR call him “pres__ent” (no ID!). It fits.

Hadn’t seen that ... it’s totally apt.
Re: 57, 58
Those bring tears to my eyes. Thanks for the memories. And thank you, GW. Your heavenly reward will be far greater than anything you receive on this earth.
Oh yeah, that would be the photo I was thinking of!!! Thanks!
