The month of September 2005 was a very busy month for President Bush after Katrina came on land at the Gulf coast and damaged the area. We see President Bush and First Lady Laura visiting New Orleans and other affected areas in Louisiana and Mississippi to comfort the victims of the hurricane and bring aid
The country lost Chief Justice William Renquist who passed away on September 3, 2005
President Bush nominated Judge Roberts to become the next Chief Supreme Court Justice. On September 29th Justice Roberts was sworn in as the 20th? Supreme Court Chief Justice.
President Bush remembered 9/11 heroes at a Medal of Valor ceremony. He also met with several foreign leaders and addressed the Useless Nations
For the quote of the month I have chosen President Bush’s Remarks which he gave at the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance Service on September 16, 2005
Wow.,,,,that is too good. Happy New Year LW. Keep the Faith.
LOVE THAT!

Thank you, Justa .. we pray for a hopeful,
healthy and safe *Twenty Eleven* for America
and us all! HUGS!
Thank you, LUV W! I wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous 2011.
“He does indeed, unlike the other occupant who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave”
Yep, all that one can do is call and praise Michael Vick being taken back on a football team but doesn’t have the time to call families of fallen soldiers.
Thank you, sweet Justa! May His blessings be bountiful and may we remember to count them. Happy New Year everyone.
Thanks, and Happy New Year to all the faithful posters and Dosers.
Special thanks to all who keep the Dose going.
It is my favorite GWB quotation, and I'm counting on Our Lord's guidance and protection for this nation!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and will have the very BEST of New Years in 2011!
Hah, and libs certainly can’t say a THING about the Bushes, or John Boehner, for that matter, playing golf. At least not honestly, and with a straight face, though, I admit, some might try.
Oh, I didn’t realize Boca Grande was on the Gulf. Our daughter attends college in Ave Maria, just South and East of Ft. Myers.
A little piece of heaven.
I know Ave Maria well .. God bless Tom Monaghan !
I pray it grows and grows and makes a huge difference.
And God bless you for sending your dear daughter to
this fine facility. It’s a quiet wave for our precious
traditions and values, and I expect many future leaders
will arise from this gem.
She’s enjoyed her time there, and, we hope, will graduate this May!

Bush makes covert visit to Schaumburg
By Eric Peterson
Absent any fanfare, media attention or even WikiLeaks disclosure, former President George W. Bush slipped quickly and quietly into Schaumburg Wednesday to speak at a CareerBuilder.com conference, in similar fashion to his father and former President Bill Clinton in previous years.
The visits of all three former presidents occurred at the Schaumburg Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center, which also once hosted former First Lady Laura Bush while her husband was still in office, Schaumburg Police Chief Brian Howerton said.
Though Howerton met Bush and shook his hand Wednesday, he couldn’t offer details of the visit or the content of his speech. Schaumburg police worked with the Secret Service to prepare for the visit and provide dignitary protection, Howerton said.
Bush’s appearance came during an ongoing four-day conference hosted CareerBuilder.com, a Chicago-based online employment company.
“We have our company kickoff this week,” CareerBuilder spokeswoman Jenny Grasz said. “Former President George W. Bush’s appearance was part of an ongoing series we have at our organization to provide different perspectives on leadership and influence. Other speakers include former President Bill Clinton, General Colin Powell, former President George H.W. Bush and Jack Welch.”
Schaumburg Renaissance General Manager Lisa Timbo said she could not comment other than to confirm that Bush was on the premises Wednesday.
“This is a private, corporate group in the hotel,” Timbo explained. “It’s not a public show. They have a no-publicity clause in their contract.”
Secret Service officials also declined to comment on Bush’s visit, saying it’s agency policy not to publicly discuss the movements of those it protects.
Though Schaumburg police officers had some on-site duties during the visit, it was mostly Illinois State Police that assisted the Secret Service in escorting Bush to and from the hotel, Howerton said. The requirement of sweeping a location for explosives ahead of time is just the same for a former president as it is for a sitting president, he said.
Though he couldn’t speculate on the reasons why, Howerton said the lack of publicity about Bush’s visit was quite deliberate.
“He probably preferred to fly under the radar,” he said.
