I found no new photos of the president today but there are some photos of Laura in Paris, at the conference on Missing and Exploited Children. As Tony Snow's assistant conducted the press briefing today, and the State of the Union address is next Tuesday, January 23rd at 9:00 PM EST, it seems likely it is crunch time for getting the address ready.

Defense Secretary Gates continues his visit to Iraq, in Basra and Talil, where he is being briefed.

Jay Hein, Director of the WH Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, discussed the President's compassion agenda and the recently launched Compassion in Action Roundtables.

Text of Dana Perino's press briefing today (information on SoTU).

OK will do.

[Wolfstar]

Thanks for the explanation.

You're welcome. :)

I absolutely agree with you and find it sickening that we have so many kneejerk, pile on posters always eager to bash President Bush. Idiots and trolls.

[Wolfstar]

Well said, snugs. I've always considered the Dose more of a social thread than one for heavy political discussion. There's plenty of outlets for that stuff. But the Dose is perhaps the only thread here where people can enjoy keeping up with the President's activities, and those of his family, pets and leading administration figures, and have some fun doing it.

One doesn't have to agree with the President at all to have an interest in his activites or to enjoy the social aspects of the Dose. I think that's what we all want to preserve.

[Wolfstar]

Idiots and trolls.

Idiots and trolls...and, I absolutely am convinced, paid propagandists.

[snugs]

I agree I cannot believe that some of the stuff they post is sincere otherwise I have serious doubts they would have the ability to use a computer.

LOL! Very true, but they sure know how to bait people.

Congratulations

Red toasters trump all. :0)

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the Dose tonight. Sounds like a rough day for you!

[Wolfstar]

Sounds like a rough day for you!

Not rought. I like my new job. It was necessary that I make up the lost time since I'm a contract (hourly) worker.

Gretchen - looks like you should add Wolfstar's two kittens to the Dose Posters list ;).

[SnarlinCubBear]

You got that right! I love the red.

Thank you snugs - Now, will go make virtual toast.

:)

LOL! Yes. They double-team me. One crosses the keyboard from right to left, the other from left to right. Then each one turns around and goes back the other way. Total pills when I'm on the 'puter. ;-)

[ohioWfan]

I completely agree with both of you.

I just needed a clarification of what was meant by 'political discussion.'

We have those all the time, but not of the controversial nature.

We need a rest from that, for sure. :)

[Jewels1091]

I think the state of the union is going to be just awful..not Bush's speech but the democrat's behavior!!!!

[ohioWfan]

I'm going to have to shut one of my eyes. I can't stand to look at that Pelosi woman behind him.

And I know the cameras are going to pan to the RATS all the time.

Maybe I'll just listen. :)

Heading to bed now. Good night all!

[snugs]

I am not looking forward to seeing Nancy Pelosi next the VP.

Don't mess with our Texan here...lol.
