President Bush helped welcome the baseball era back to Washington DC as he threw out the first pitch of the Washington Nationals inaugural home game. The President also made remarks at the American Society of Newspaper Editors Convention in Washington. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!
The President displayed 'perfect form' tonight during his 'first pitch' . . . of course, we BushBabes and Bucks know that he displays a 'perfect form' every day!!!

Will return after my workout!
I saw it and I think they said it was a high change-up - but looked over like it was over the plate to me... Lookin good. And the crowded cheered even though the press wrote a biased article yesterday insinuating it was our Dubya's fault that the team left DC in the first place and moved to Texas. How did he have the nerve to throw out the first pitch. I'm sure they were hoping for boos from the crowd. HA!
New book coming out -
Marine Regiment Testifies of Miracles of Divine Protection over Them in Iraq--Though They Saw Some of the Heaviest Fighting, God Saw Them Through
Aimee Herd (Apr 14, 2005)
Before the soldiers of the 8th Marine Regiment went into battle in Iraq back in March of 2003, their commander of the Combined Anti-Armor Tank platoon, Capt. Seth MacCutcheon, a Christian, asked Chaplain Don Rogers if he would pray over each vehicle. The regiment's mission was to find enemy armor and destroy it, before they could use it against them.
"When Seth asked me to pray, I laid hands on every vehicle in 2/8 -- more than 70 Humvees and trucks," said Rogers, "praying that the vehicles would not be hit and for safety of the men who would ride in them." He was not the only one interceding however. Echo Rifle Company Capt. Kevin Yeo's wife Andrea and 7 other women met regularly to cover the regiment in prayer.
Though they were involved in some of the heaviest fighting, not one soldier was lost, and except for several who were wounded non-seriously with shrapnel, not one Marine lost an eye, finger or toe or was disabled.
In fact, according to author Glenn Thomas who penned God Saw Them Through, about the regiment, there were over 40 answers to prayer and 35 miracles of protection which he recorded in the book. (The book will soon be available in The Well Bookstore.) More on the 8th Marine Regiment's experiences are shared in the April issue of Charisma magazine.

President Bush Tells Reporters about His 'Walk with Christ'
Teresa Neumann (Apr 14, 2005)
Seven reporters traveling with President Bush on Air Force One after the pope's funeral in Rome, were treated to a personal conversation about the president's relationship with Jesus Christ.
Charisma reports that for 47 minutes, Bush and the journalists had an "intimate, friendly chat largely about the pope, his legacy and Bush's "own walk with Christ." Subsequently, a headline in the Washington Post this week read, "Preacher Bush."
"There is no doubt in my mind there is a living God. And no doubt in my mind that the Lord, Christ, was sent by the Almighty. No doubt in my mind about that," Bush is quoted as saying.

Evening all just watching a film will be back in about 20 mins
Hi rin....great pics tonight.....Dubya always throws strikes.....LOL
W does look great in the jacket!
I did a channel search, and we don't get the game here. You'd think they'd have it on one of the 2 ESPN channels we have, as it is an historic game.
At least the 'Rats aren't throwing cow pies ... yet.
Hi hoosierkitties. The difference among monitors makes it difficult for me to ID the OO colors precisely; to me they look to be a light gold and cream. The tangerine-salmon colors in the roses are beautiful with it -- it surprises me that he has that same color over and over, but that's what makes me think he must really like it.
watcha watching?
Hiya Eleanor. Good evening to you.
Hiya, Snugs! Hoping you have some pictures to post, too!
(And you need to award the toaster for the first poster!)
LOL I was wanting to ask her the same thing.
So much history. How amazing. I can't even imagine what was going through the President's mind or the players for that matter.
Thank you, Rintense! Wonderful Pictures of our President!
Leave it to the press to twist a simple pitch into a character slamming article. They can't ever take things at face value with this guy. They just can't let the good be good. But I comend President Bush for being a better person than the distinguished (/sarcasm) members of the press.
