Hello.
U.S. President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush walk through the East Room of the White House, decorated for the holidays, as they attend a children's holiday reception in Washington, December 8, 2008.
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
President Bush on Monday (following his briefing at the National Intelligence Agency) said, "This is a challenge that's going to face this country for a while. But it's a challenge that can be better met because of facilities like the NCTC -- and the fact that we've given the professionals the tools, such as listening to the terrorist phone calls, to better protect America. And so I want to thank you all for your leadership. Appreciate you having me. And again, I thank all the good folks who work here for their dedication."
