President Bush was inaugurated for his second term as President of the United States. Nuff said. Enjoy your special inauguration day edition of the daily dose!
Yes, and his funeral will be one of celebration and not one of mourning. He will have the biggest mansion in Heaven. His crown is going to be as big as a house.
And he looks SO much like his father, especially in pictures when he was a young kid.
Did I just see the President take some money from his Dad to put in the offering plate?? ROFLOL!
DOH!!! I missed that!!!!! Mabe GW doesn't carry money.
Indeed it does! How apropos.
I, too, am fortunate to have a man who truly loves and serves me. I don't know what I would have done these past five years without him. He really looks after me. I am so sorry for your loss but you certainly found a treasure.
Oh, did you know John Wilkes personally? (smile)
Sheesh, you guys are making me jealous. Good thing my cat loves me. LOLOL :OP
Bump-O-Rama!

Rintense, regarding your #47, you are the one who deserves all thanks for starting this series of threads. MJY1288, ohioWfan, TruthNtegrity, and GretchenM also deserve much thanks and appreciation for their resolve in helping you keep "The day in the life of..." threads going through thick and thin, good times and rough, these past four years (more than 1400 days).
I'm a "johnny-come-lately" in terms of helping out where possible, and feel honored to do so. It is you, Rintense, and your four dedicated help-mates, who have kept us informed about the President's day-to-day activities and those of his family, the VP and his family, and key figures in the administration. Only the Dose provides day-to-day details ranging from foreign trips to comparatively small social functions that help provide a more intimate and complete view inside the GWB White House than the larger media rarely offer.
I don't know if you'll ever fully realize the importance of what you began at the start of this administration. When another 1400 days pass, and we gather here to say goodbye to GWB and his Laura, I think a very significant chapter in the lives of everyone who participates in and visits the Dose threads will also pass. But as long as they exist out on the worldwide web, this body of threads will remain as a unique historical record of this administration. Unlike presidential papers and effects, which tend to be available only to scholars and historical researchers, these Dose threads will be an as-it-happened record available to any American with the patience to do a little smart searching on the web.
Speaking just for myself, I don't know if there will ever be another person in my lifetime who will quite measure up to President George W. Bush -- or to his immensely dignified, classy wife. So I intend to savor every one of the next 1400+ days, both good and bad, happy and sad. In our own small way here on the Dose, we are not just witnesses to the history of a truly great presidency, but participants in it. And Rintense, we have you to thank for that.
Well, WE love you too, kid!
any photos of condoleezza today?
It took Republicans like Peggy Noonan and Joe Scarborough less than 24 hours to turn on the President. I watched much of the inaugural activities live yesterday. Immediately after the Inaugural Address, Noonan and others on Fox News couldn't praise the speech enough. She said it was powerful. By yesterday afternoon (Pacific time) she was already on the radio complaining about too much use of "God" in the speech. And apparently she has an article in today's WSJ criticizing the speech.
I absolutely cannot stand Peggy Noonan. She is, in my opinion, a phony and a hypocrite. I appreciate the President's blunt, plain-spoken style far, far more than Noonan's gauzy, fuzzy, verbose style. If you read any of her pieces carefully, you'll see they invariably tend to ramble before coming to a point we all are quite capable of figuring out for ourselves.
When she's on TV commenting on the events of the day, she tends to go with the flow of whoever's paying her. If she's on Chris Matthews' show, she's far less complimentary toward the President than if she's on Brit Hume's show. That's why I call her a hypocrite.
As for Scarborough, I wonder why he ever ran for Congress as a Republican. Maybe only because the district he ran in was heavily Republican. In any case, since he's gotten that gig on MSNBC, he seems to go out of his way to criticize the President. Phooey!!!
Re your #143 on this thread, I concur. Snicker...chortle...chuckle...giggle...
Too bad, Jean Francoise Kerrie, go back to France. Chirac needs a butt warmer.
I just finished reading her column, and yes, it was negative. I came immediately here to the Dose to get my bearings, because her article really did upset me.
I'm with you, Wolfstar. She was extremely complimentary of President Bush's speech yesterday, when she was interviewed immediately following it. She IS a hypocrite, because now she has chosen to pick it apart and shed an ominous light on such a glorious message.
Pfffft on Peggy.
I was hoping they would use it - it did make a beautiful background - especially for the overhead shots.
Just saw your post. I had someone special once and he died too.
You're right, there is nothing like it in the world.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA B!
