Quote of the Day:

President Bush: The purpose of the emergency war spending bill I requested was to provide our troops with vital funding. Instead, Democrats in the House, in an act of political theater, voted to substitute their judgment for that of our military commanders on the ground in Iraq …

As I have made clear for weeks, I will veto it if it comes to my desk. And because the vote in the House was so close, it is clear that my veto would be sustained.

He did a GREAT JOB today. Made me proud once again after being absent for so long. This was the President I remember throwing a perfect pitch right down the middle at the 2001 World Series. He threw a perfect pitch today.

Even after all these years of living with, watching, retching over, democrat antics, I still am left asking,

Democrats, HOW COULD YOU?

"As I have made clear for weeks, I will veto it if it comes to my desk. And because the vote in the House was so close, it is clear that my veto would be sustained."

It is equally clear that the only reason the Democrats went through that little exercise was to try to embarass the President. Now let me ask y'all, does he look embarassed?
*snort* Stoopid Dems.

Sorry I did not get back to you last night but dad did not have op yesterday they did another Xray because the consultant is having difficulty deciding what to do about the hip and wanted to see if he could get a clearer view.

Still not clear enough and they want to do a bone scan so he can decide on how he will repair the hip either pin or replace and from the Xray cannot tell which is best .

Bone scanner does not operate again until Monday so will not have any news before then.

My friend picked me from the hospital ysterday and then we had a bite to eat and he insisted I went to bed because I was felling asleep in the chair. Weill check in again tonight but hopefully am gong out for a meal laer so will be later than normal.

Love
Eleanor

jonny, i received this e-mail from a friend of a friend. thought you could ping the dosers to it....

This happened at Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Enterprise, AL
>
> There is a man at Ridgecrest who is an ABI officer. He got up last night and told us about having the honor of being paired with one of the secret service men who were with President Bush Saturday in Enterprise. He said when they started walking through the rubble at the school they came upon four students waiting for the President. They were in an area where on the floor there was a emblem that read EHS Class of 65. When the President approached the students he asked which one of you is the president (I assume president of the student body)? One of of the girls kind of raised her hand and said I am then she hung her head and started to cry. President Bush wrapped his arms around her and the other three joined them. Barry, the ABI officer said President Bush started to cry and said "It's tough being the president isn't it." Barry said he talked with them a little longer. He said he was very close to the President but couldn't hear every word that was spoken, but he could te
ll that the President was quoting scripture. After a while the President started walking again and said he wanted the emblem preserved whatever it took. The Mayor then spoke up and said they would take care of it and President Bush turned to him and said "I was speaking to the President." I bet that the Mayor closed his mouth then!!! and then President Bush said "by the way where are my children"? The four students who were lagging behind came running up to him and walked the rest of the way over to the church with him. The media were sent to a different area Barry said. When President Bush got inside the church to meet with the families of those that had been killed the secret serviceman turned to Barry and said this is as far as we go. This is his time with them. Barry then asked him if the President was protected and the secret servicemen said yes, he is protected, but not by us. Barry could hardly contain himself as he was telling us this last night. He said he told the
secret service man that he wished everyone could witness what he just did then they could see that the most powerful man in the United States was just another human being, a father, a comforter, a friend and had true compassion for these people. However the media does not portrait that, big surprise! Of course I don't tell this story with the humility that Barry did because he was there, but I thought you might like to hear it. You might want to share it with Paul and Kim.
