A day in the life of President Bush (5/7/05): photos

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.

I seriously have never seen a real-life couple who have such overt affection for each other.

They are truly inspirational!

Well, I'm heading to bed too. We took care of some serious yard 'issues' we had after the brutal winter and permanently devastating ice storm.

It was gorgeous here again today, so we were outside 'fixing' up for the big events coming up.

But now I'm BEAT!! So good night, all!

Toby Jug. This party was started by Lord Sutch

Great pixs. Shouldn't the Toby have a tricorn hat on?

The real Tobys were made in Staffordshire at the time
my Noon family was living there in the 1700s.

I think the garb he is wearing is referring to his party more than the character name he has adopted.
