Hope everyone had a VERY merry Christmas -- I certainly did!!

Actually, I'm still engaged in various Christmas activities; however, I wanted to share with you some passages from the December 30, 2002 "US News&World Report" magazine's exclusive interview with our AWESOME president (the magazine just hit the newstands today).

Relative to the president's level of fatigue, the mag provided the following insight: "A visibly tired Bush -- who was nursing a cold -- volunteered that he was shaking hands with 1,500 people a night at the seemingly endless series of White House holiday parties. He emphasized that he didn't really mind the chore, but aides said he was looking forward to a brief vacation at his ranch in Texas."
[I certainly hope he can get some rest in Crawford!!]

The mag also provided the following insightful/poignant quote from the president: "I hope the American people trust me," Bush said . . ."I hope they trust me when it comes to fighting this war on terror, and I hope they trust me when it comes to leading toward a more compassionate tomorrow, because I'm a compassionate person. The only thing I know to do is to speak my mind, show my heart as best I can, and to lead."

MR. PRESIDENT, BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN YOUR HEART, WE DO TRUST YOU AND WILL FOLLOW YOUR LEAD!!!
