Our little American enclave here gets together to listen to the President's radio address and then we have a time of fellowship with each other. None of us knew that Mrs. Bush would give the address this week. It was extremely moving for all of us. When you are away from America, it is wonderful to hear a really American voice, and a Texan one at that. We are all agreed that the speech was brilliant. All of us were fans of Barbara Bush. Now we know that God has blessed America again with an excellent First Lady.

Laura Bush outclasses the junior senator from New York just by breathing.

EXCELLENT! Thank you, FReeper in Spain! How are things on THAT side of the pond? How is President Bush perceived in Spain, by the way?? Anxious to hear. . .

Thank you so much. I thank God everyday for Laura and President Bush and for Cheney and Rumsfeld too. What a fantastic team they all are. I love them all.

Are you by any chance in Rota? We tried so hard to get there, if you are. We spent seven wonderful years in a small village outside Stuttgart in GE, and traveled to Seville for the world EXPO, it was such a thrill and the beauty of Seville knocked me out! We traveled on to Algarve in Portugal-WOW! And home by driving the coastline, stopping to travel to Moracco near the grand rock, on an old ferry! Spain is a TEN! Oh for some Spanish tapas and beer! God Bless you. I am so GLAD that you get to hear the radio addresses.....we've got the lights on for ya back here at home.

I have found all the Spaniards I know extremely supportive of America since 9/11. My Spanish friends are very conservative and they think Bush is proving to be a real leader. They are impressed at the way he has gotten the Muslim nations to go along with him "when everyone knows he doesn't really think Islam is a peaceful religion" as one of my friends says.

There are socialists and leftists here who hate America, but I never run into them. I just read about them in the papers or see them on TVE. Like most people, Spaniards love a winner. And they do not trust Muslims because of Spanish history and because of the current crisis in Spain over illegal muslim immigrants. .

Thank you for your kind words. God bless you too. We are in Seville, so you are acquainted with this amazing city. We have friends who are in Rota - they want to stay there for ever. Spain is a marvelous country, and I have found the people always warm and very welcoming.

I remember all the talk about a "Co-Presidency" from the last administration -- it was anti-American and anti-Constitution. I believe that Laura Bush will be remembered as one of this country's finest First Lady's who truly stood up for her convictions and values with quiet courage. She'll also be remembered for the love, true partnership with, and support of the individual we elected to lead us through this nation's most difficult times. ---alethia

Well said.

[samtheman]

It's obvious we all are so enjoying these years of the Bush reign. Pray for the continued safety each morning and then eagerly look forward to what the First Family accomplishes that day. --- okimhere

And don't forget the coming elections. Bush needs all our support in 2002 to help him elect a Republican congress. We've each got to do as much as we can!

Your # 39 makes my day. I don't remember the date this photo was taken...from back during the campaign...but it's as uplifting now as it was then. thanks!

I just saw your post, and want to thank you for it!

I find myself running out of words to describe how thankful I am for our wonderful President
and his incredible wife!

Her Radio Address was strong and to the point, and beautifully delivered.
I'll bet W gave her a great big hug after she gave it!

The analyst who discussed it on pmsnbc was VERY complimentary about it, as was the host.

Kati Marton (Peta Jennings' ex-wife, wouldja believe) was also talking about it positively and with so much enthusiasm it made me wonder if she was applying for a job on FOX.

I LOVE this picture soooooo much. Thank you for posting it. Fantastic.

Mrs. Bush is truly a class act! It's so wonderful to have her as First Lady instead of that rotten smelly old Hildebeast. Mrs. Bush puts the Lady in First Lady.

I LOVE this picture soooooo much. Thank you for posting it. Fantastic.

You are VERY welcomed, Snow Bunny! I like that one too! Did you see the pic I posted on post #39? I think that's a pretty nice one too of the "First Couple."
