President Bush headed to the Sunshine state where he joined his brother, Gov. Jeb Bush, at Volusia County Fire Services Training Center in Daytona Beach, where he addressed a crowd which included Senior Corps Volunteers. Bush continued to stress the major themes of his State of the Union address, and contiued to encourage citizens to volunteer. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

#1 - What a fabulous picture! You can almost see the President's soul shining through his eyes.
I don't remember who made and posted those two wonderful collage screen savers, but I sure hope they do another and include this picture!!!
rintense, thank you for another night of great viewing.

Oh .. I am very relaxed. I just know all too well how the media works. Just putting in my 2-1/2 cents.

I was able to see today's speech, but I just wish he would come up with some other lines. It's becoming too repetetive with certain lines in his speeches and he just needs to put it a different way. It's not good politically.
To: rintense
Many thanks for this uplifting display and Number 1 is portrait quality. Number 5 of post 5 shows the President with that good natured 'aw shucks' grin we've seen many times during speeches and reflects the comforting nature of the man. Such a contrast to all those years of that sappy, smarmy, flop-tongued smirk we had to tolerate every time we couldn't change the channel soon enough.

Dear Warrior Princess, Thank you for the daily dose. We all appreciate it. The first one is a classic, but I think that you know that already.
To: STARWISE
OK, Thanks for your 2-1/2 cents, We are talking about pictures taken over 30 years ago and from what I saw there was nothing about them that needed to be screened or much less hidden from the public, I salute this woman who is wise enough to ask permission before sharing them, and I am also sure the media would not want any of the pictures. Because everyone in the pictures are happy and it's obvious the fabric of this all-American family is woven with the threads of love.
God Bless The Bush family

I noticed that, too, how trim and slim he is looking in these pictures. I doubt it's because he ordered new clothes that are too big for him! As I looked at the thread, I thought, How nice it is that the office of the presidency and first lady-ship are taking off pounds rather than adding them!
To: MJY1288
The fact that your new-found friend won't hand out the pics without permission of the Bush family speaks strongly to me of the respect and loyalty that the Bushes inspire ...... :-)
A class act through and through!!! And inspiring class in those around them.

Reno took her third dive? When (approximately) were the first two? Do you remember what the causes were listed as?
To: rintense
Please add me to your ping list. Thanks! I have to have my daily dose of W!

Reno Fainting Spell Her Third Public Collapse
Former Attorney General Janet Reno's fainting spell last night while addressing a group of Rochester University students in New York is actually the third time she's collapsed in public in the last five years.
Most media accounts have omitted Reno's history of fainting from their coverage of the RU incident, where she first said she needed to sit down, then keeled over behind a podium and hit the floor hard.
And after her release from an area hospital this morning, Reno herself tried to put on a brave front, reminding reporters that even President Bush had fainted three weeks ago after choking on a pretzel.
However, the ex-AG's history of public collapses includes an episode in November 1997, where she passed out for several seconds while attending an international law enforcement conference in Mexico City.
The Associated Press reported at the time:
"The 59-year-old attorney general became nauseated and fainted briefly Tuesday evening while attending the opening reception of a conference of prosecutors from 28 Western Hemisphere nations, Justice Department spokesman Bert Brandenburg said. ...
"Hospitalized overnight in Mexico City by fatigue and gallstones, Attorney General Janet Reno shortened her stay at a law enforcement conference Wednesday. She flew to Florida for a family holiday before deciding whether an independent counsel should investigate President Clinton."
Ten months later, in September 1998, Reno collapsed again while attending church services in Washington, D.C.
Spokesman Brandenburg told USA Today at the time that Reno was standing when she felt nauseous and fainted after sitting down. A doctor from Georgetown was at the service and immediately went to Reno's aide.
Again she was hospitalized and was released the next day.
Though Reno is said to be on powerful medication for her Parkinson's disease, which was diagnosed two years before her first public collapse, her doctors have repeatedly insisted she is well enough for the arduous campaign she's currently waging to unseat Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Still, even with most journalists overlooking Reno's history of fainting spells, the former AG struggled to cast last night's episode in a positive light.
Again invoking the Bush example, she told reporters Thursday morning, "Well, [at least] I don't have a bump on my cheek."

Dittos! It's very important that she's asking permission.

I was sick with fever last night and am still feeling rough today but the one bright spot of the day for me was being able to see President Bush give his rousing speeches at various places yesterday. Alas, our ability to watch Fox News Channel is no more because our cable company here in Germany discontinued it last night. It made me feel sicker I think.

I love that quote too. Neil Boortz has it on his website for a long time. And they still are today. He was probably talking about Jesse Jackson's grandpa don't you think?
