PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: The President and First Lady arrived in the Netherlands, today, on the first leg of their four-day visit to eastern Europe, Russia and the Republic of Georgia. The main focus of the visit is to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat.
According to the Associated Press, President Bush "second-guessed Franklin D. Roosevelt," when he said Saturday that the United States played a role in Europe's painful division after World War II. The President said it was a decision that helped cause "one of the greatest wrongs of history" when the Soviet Union imposed its harsh rule across Central and Eastern Europe.
President Bush said the lessons of the past will not be forgotten as the United States tries to spread freedom in the Middle East.
The President spent the day with the leaders of three Baltic republics, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Many in the Baltic countries are still bitter about the Soviet annexation of their countries and the harsh occupation that followed the war for nearly 50 years. Acknowledging that anger and frustration still linger, Bush said that "we have a great opportunity to move beyond the past." His message here, and throughout his trip, is that the world is entering a new phase of freedom and all countries should get on board.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "We will not repeat the mistakes of other generations, appeasing or excusing tyranny, and sacrificing freedom in the vain pursuit of stability," the president said. "We have learned our lesson; no one's liberty is expendable. In the long run, our security and true stability depend on the freedom of others." President George W. Bush in a speech in Riga, Latvia.
What time Mike?
"I have 4 in that room, How many does your Hubby have in his :-)"
He's got 6 or 7 at last count . . . of course, he constantly rotate his personal systems with those at his 'real' office, so some days he has more, some days he has less.
I'm just thankful that one of us is technically proficient!
I believe it's gonna be covered around 4:00 AM EST
"YES they are planning to cover it. I'm gonna record it"
GREAT . . . I'll set the VHS (or should I say hubby will set the VHS) for 4 AM ET!!
planned to do so at 4 AM EST, but I'm not positive!
I saw that also for FOX. Want to see this especially
since it is in the Nederlands. When I was in Arnhem
there, saw the area of Operation Market Garden of WW II
Also went through the Ann Frank House in Amsterdam.
Saw the President's speech in Riga this morning.
I doubt McCain worries about his age . . . He'll just remind everyone that Reagan wasn't must younger when he (Reagan) first became president.
However, I just can't imagine voting for McCain given the number of times he's 'stabbed' the President in the back . . . and should he vote against the constitutional option this month -- well, that'll do it for me!
It's time for me to say good night . . . I'm still trying to recover from this allergy/sinus/cold thingy that I've managed to contract!
Powerline has just posted an excellent summary/analysis of the President's speech from this morning . . .

OK, now I'm off to bed!
Your Husband is now "Case Law" for my defense:-)
BTW, the only reason why my wife's PC is on dial up is because between her and her sister, they download about 20 Viruses a month and I DO NOT want their refusal to ignore every link in their emails trashing my PC's in the "Dungeon"
I have an Internet server, three PC's, as well as a laptop on the network down here, and until she and her sister learn not to click on every link they get in email as if they were Christmas presents, My wife's PC will remain on Dial Up :-)
Your enthusiasm for our President is contagious, and I wish more Americans were as devoted and respectful toward George W. Bush as you always are.
Sleep well my friend from across the pond
Mike

Your new furniture looks great, but still pretty crowded. Hope you don't need to add anything else.
We recently got a new computer desk with a hutch. It really cut down on the clutter. A place for everything and everything in its place.
You do make good use of your dungeon Mike.
