UPDATE . . .

President Bush has now exceeded the 300,000 mark on his facebook page — quite an impressive achievement considering that he’s only been on facebook for two months!!

Thanks, DrDeb! What a neat article! This is the photo that goes with it:

"...The former President spoke individually with each of the eight veterans who were present....

"...President Bush said he would follow the team’s climb on the web, and he asked them to call with a report as soon as they are back home."

That is so in character with our president!

Awesome that he has so many Friends on Facebook...but I’m not
surprised, and I know you aren’t either!

Hope I get to see that interview with Matt. I hope he will ask
fair questions!

Thanks for all the great stuff about OUR President! What an amazing man, and still an example for us all!

Haven't posted much lately (my hard drive crashed!), but I've been looking whenever I could. :)

I hope President Bush and Laura had a grand time in their get-away in the Adirondacks!
