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
This man’s genuine compassion shows through on his face....no fancy words were needed.
Thank you, Kaslin, for these pictures showing a President who truly cared about his fellow citizens.
Yeah I know and I chose the picture because I thought it was so touching when Laura hugged the barefooted boy
HONORABLE MAN PING

I had a tornado go right through the front wheel of my Harley while I was riding. Of course it was in a section of Ft. Lauderdale that is considered the extreme western corner of the Bermuda Triangle!
So there I was, sprawled on the highway, with my bike SPINNING around next to me like a food processor. I had the good sense to leap off of it, so that I was not ground down into the pavement.
It was a tiny tornado, but enough to cause $1500 on my beloved bike, and a whoppin’ case of road rash.
An no, it was NOT President Bush’s fault.
Not just full of plastic, but full of hate too
I hate that he has been blamed when we know it was Nagin and Blanco!
Whew! Now that I have that off my chest....Thanks for posting this.
I adore that "W" is beating Biggie O in the polls. I believe that history will be kind to him and that he will be known as one of the best POTUS's!

We just picked up the pieces, lived like pioneers for a couple of months, rebuilt, and got on with our lives being Patriotic Americans.
As Patriotic Americans, that's what you do! As to what the others do, that isn't even acting American, let alone Patriotic! God Bless you!
George Bush is improving his image by just being himself; quiet and decent.
We should never demand one man or one woman fill up the big empty space of all our expectations.
A president leads by example - not perfection.
