PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush are spending the weekend at Camp David. Look for the First Lady to be on the campaign trail a lot in the next few months. Republican National Committee spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said that Mrs. Bush is a significant draw wherever she goes, and is a critical asset to Republican candidates across the country. According to the RNC, so far this campaign season, the First Lady has appeared at 24 political events and raised $10.7 million for the party and Republican candidates. Last week, she campaigned in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Next week's daily scheduled was not announced by White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. However, next week the President will visit his family home in Kennebunkport, Maine, for the first time in two years. GWB and the First Lady are scheduled to arrive Thursday at Walker's Point, where they will be spending the weekend with GWB's parents at their summer retreat. The first couple will be in town to attend a relative's wedding, said Tom Frechette, spokesman for the president's father. While at Walker's Point, the President typically goes fishing and golfing.

EXTENDED SCHEDULE:

_ Sept. 7, First Lady Laura Bush will visit Norfolk to attend a campaign rally for U.S. Rep. Thelma Drake.

_ Sept. 14, President Bush will welcome President Roh Moo-hyun of the Republic of Korea to the White House.

_ Oct. 10, President Bush will welcome President Alan Garcia of Peru to the White House.

One of my favorite B&D songs. They sing it with such sincerity.

I had not seen the theme for tonight when I posted to you before. As I continue to wipe away tears, I wish I could find the words to express how this photo moved me. All I can think of is.....
Reaching for Greatness.

It affected me much the same way this photo did on November 14, 2005.

Not sure, but it looks like one of those meals steamed in paper. Also the color of the photo is off.

The song is wonderful, but what makes it, in my opinion, is that voice. Magnificent. I love rich, resonant male singing voices. Not enough of them around these days.

Photos of GWB and his/our military are frequently very touching. I love the photo of the soldier hugging the President, and he hugging the soldier back on the plane. Very moving to me.
