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!
Okay :)
There are SOOO many!!! I'm sure the bandwidth on FR tonight is outta control.
p.s. Nice homepage! ;)
1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

You have done a wonderful job with these threads over the years! I usually do not post to these threads, but I do visit them when I can. Thanks for taking the time to put all the photos in one place! And thanks to the folks who do it in your absence!
Why thank you!
Thank you to all our wonderful dosers! If I have forgotten anyone, please forgive me.
Thanks for these fantastic pics! Laura looks radiant and regal!
The President's Inaugural Speech was truly awesome and I believe will be regarded as one of the most important ever given.
Oh how I love this one! ;)
Gladly!
I took a photo of a friend of mine who is in Iraq.
And since I was so close up, GWB saw the photo, came to the edge of the stage, and yelled "Give him my best!"
It was SO cool!!
He is such a compassionate President...
MORE keeper photos today than EVER!
You spoke to the President? I'm so happy for you, and jealous. LOL
He and Laura looked extremely radiant this evening!
What terrific pics! I enjoyed watching today...except the only station I could bring in clearly was ABC. Peter Jennings was so arrogant and made sooooooo many nasty little remarks and took a shot at the president (and even the First Lady) every chance he got. It was so obvious and so constant that it could have been a satire, ridiculing the bias of the left.
Greta Van FaceSurgery interviewed George P. Bush and he said the same thing as you: that he's not seen President Bush this relaxed since before he took office as governor of Texas.
Can you see it in his face?
I'll say he's relaxed! Look at the pic in #58!
HAAAHAAA, that's just mean :)
