Yeah, aren't you glad some things, important things, get found out inadvertently? God is good!

Thanks for the ping MG! Great and interesting article.

The president does everything fast...

I once read someone say about GW, "some people hit the ground running, GW jumps out of bed running." I noticed when I met him at a campaign event, that he is truly a ball of energy. Something about him...as if all parts of his body are in constant motion all the time. It really is quite extraordinary. I also read that he totally exhausts his guests at Camp David - running, playing tennis, bowling, etc. I am sure Laura is able to slow him down for a few things, however. ;o)

Thank you for pinging me. I do too, what a wonderful man....President Bush is.

Thank you for the flag! It is great to get the behind-the-scenes view. This was cute - and sort of says what we all see at The Dose. Mrs. Johnson said ... "It's really sort of a timeout for them," she said. "There is some discussion certainly of what is going on, but they entertain you, really. The president is quite a tease, and you get drawn into it." So many who have berated W for being a dunce do not factor in this quality. You have to be very intelligent to be able to tease and make people laugh without inflicting any injury or robbing them of their dignity.

Intelligent, and kind. The President is able to tease people and make them feel better about themselves rather than embarrassed, and that is a rare quality indeed!

.. it was kinda odd that Tom Delay would find KEN LAYS name in the sign in log in his cabin over the weekend at Camp David. Golly.......ken lay was an over night guest at Camp David, too? Gish. Someone better talk to ol 'cash and carry', I mean 'slash and slap' senator Hollings

Yeah..this was an 'inadvertant find'. He he. I still say we need to ask hollings about ken lay's overnights during the cash and carry quid pro quos of the clinton reign of terror and degradation.

And yeah....GOD IS GOOD!

And the First Lady sighed, wistfully.

LOL!

[Lazamataz]

Hmm, I'd LOVE to be with Dubya after dark. Oh, I'd better not go there......sigh.

You're mistaking him for the LAST president, who would have pinned you down.

"The president does everything fast, including eating dinner," said Ari Fleischer, the White House press secretary. "He's not a lingerer." And the First Lady sighed, wistfully.......

You are mistaken, my friend - fast does not necessarily mean bad..... lol

[Marysecretary]

Agreed, agreed!
