Today President Bush traveled to Ft. Stewart, Georgia to address the 3rd Infantry Division military personnel and their families, and to thank them, and honor them with the Presidential Unit Citation. He then traveled to Mississippi to attend a fundraiser for GOP gubernatorial candidate Haley Barbour and his wife, Marsha at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson. From there he went on to Houston to attend a faith based initiative function at the Power Center with long time friend, Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell, and will be returning to the White House this evening. A BUSY day for our fine President! There are LOTS of pictures tonight, so sit back, kick off your shoes, and enjoy your Daily Dose of Dubya!!
I hope those bed wetters think twice tommorow. God be with you if any of those lunitics attempts to harm or entice any of you. I hope you have great weather and great food for your picnic. I know you will have great company!
Our precious, precious, GRAND military folks return the immense and obvious love and appreciation and respect our President has for them....it just tickles me down to my toes to see this....WOW!
This Prseident so evokes the goodness and joy in the people around him, it just erupts right off the photo and is catching! It is almost intimate....simply brings a smile to ya and I LOVE IT! :^)
And like others here-I cannot help but reflect back to the clinton era where I believe I heard once that the troops had to be checked for weapons b/c their dislike and distain for the pot bellied, sexual molester was as obvious as their love and respect for President Bush.
How horrible to be a President and realize how much the men and women who devote their lives to protecting us dispised you. No wonder clinton was afraid to fight the terrorists....he probably didn't want to depend upon people who he know had no respect for him. (Even tho we know our troops would have fought valiently for America under that scumbag, even as we know clinton never acquainted himself with true valor or true defense of our nation. It isn't a popular stance in the liberal world.)
