A day in the life of President Bush (photos): 2/4/02

It's Monday and President Bush kicked off the week with a full schedule as usual. Bush sent his $2.13 trillion budget to Congress, including the 'largest increase in military spending in a generation.' The President took his patriotic message to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, where hundreds of enthusiastic soldiers cheered him on as he spoke about the war on terror. And to add to his busy Monday schedule, Bush also met with Russia Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov to privately discuss regional security issues. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

Well, I go one better - I have Windows ME and I can set my screensaver to show all my pictures. They just rotate and rotate until the screen shuts off. I have several beauties in my selection - including a full length in blue jeans; but this one today will certainly be a favorite.

I saved Pic #1. I will look at it whenever I'm tempted to feel discouraged about this country. What a fabulous photo. Words fail me!

Well we certainly welcome the likes of you. One of my 2nd graders best friend is also Candadian. His dad welcomed the job opportunitie in the pharmecutical business down here that he was in up there. When the opportunity came he jumped at it because it would relocate he and his beautiful family to Texas a Conservative State and at the time Gov. GW Bush. He is black and his wife is Asian. A beautiful and very nice couple and I truly encourage my sons friendship with these people because you can tell they are good people. He couldn't wait to leave the socialized government of Canada and his company renews his work visa when it is time and at the same time they are both working on getting their citizenship and their company is also helping them.

I don't know many Canadians but the few I have met are surprisingly conservative, and that is probably why they are down here.

Yikes! What is that THING growing out of the Russian's head in post 6! LOL I guess it is a plant behind him or something, but it looks really strange!

Great pics, rintense. That first one is outstanding! Did one of those 'A F babes' do a wolf whistle? It sure does look like Dubya's blushing, and all the other women are looking at someone in the crowd. Hey, I could see why somebody would do that. It would be easy to get carried away!

Thanks for all you do!

Re your "he's beautiful" remark, on Sunday I re-read the post-September 11 magazines I have, featuring W. On page after page, he was the one my eyes are drawn to, almost without exception. Sometimes there are others near or around him who also take my attention, such as one absolutely magnificent photo of him going down a receiving line of firefighters and one youngish (maybe in his 20's?) man has taken off his hat and is standing facing the president, shaking his hand, with the most wonderful look of the deepest respect imaginable. It is as if you can read his thoughts: I am so honored to meet you, sir. Deepest honor I could ever imagine. How can we thank you enough for what you are doing for us? I will never forget this, ever. But even when there are others around him who are really worth seeing, W always has a special glow, a special ability to draw my attention. Then I turned to one double-page article about the Sotheby's price-fixing scandal, and I was shocked at how dead, how lifeless, how repellant, how dark -- as if absorbing all the light around them into some black hole -- all four men in the photo looked. I didn't see the caption at first, and was wondering how on earth these dregs were related to W doing anything ... turns out, they weren't! I realize that there is a tremendous anointing on our president, from the Lord, to do his job, and that accounts for very much of what we are all seeing, but he is a special guy, regardless, and more special because of Christ in him.

What can I say but in my own elegant way, yup, yup.

He keeps remarkably fit, busy, and productive for a weekend lush who falls over drunk and knocks himself out while watching a football game alone.

Mercy, it galls me that people would think that!
