As we enter April 2009 we are being bombarded by the media hyping up the first 100 days of President Obama I thought it would be nice to look back at the first 100 days of George W Bush Presidency.
The White House Website for the Bush Administration had a photo essay for the first 100 days which I am sure will provoke fond memories.
At the weekend I will post photos covering the first 2 weeks of April 2001 which once again I am sure will make us all feel nostalgic for the President we supported, respected and trusted to keep us safe for the last 8 years. Later this month I will post photos from the second half of Aril 2001 plus a selection of other photos that I am sure will be breath of fresh air and produce fond memories.
First of all before the photos I will post the text of remarks that George W Bush made at a Congressional Luncheon marking the first 100 days of the Bush Adminstration - ah those were the days.
I will also post some photos I have found of the Bush family for March 2009 including some of the former First Lady.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
I also hope that this is not the reason that Dick Cheney is not at this event, hopefully he either had something else schedule or maybe intelligence is still that it is not advisable that they are seen together in a public setting.
They hardly ever appeared together at events outside the DC area after 9/11 and then it was very official events or events where it was expected that the President and VP attend.
I tend to believe it is something do do with a prior engagement or security rather a quarrel because we all know that in politics many people will appear with others even if they disagree for political reasons and a reunion I would have thought would have been in that category.
THE FOLLOWING ARE PHOTOS FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST MARCH OF THE GWB PRESIDENCY WHICH SEEM SUCH A CONTRAST TO ONES WE SEEING OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENT.
TOMOROW I WILL POST SOME EASTER PHOTOS .
Thanx for the ping.

Thank you for the picture presentation and a Happy Easter to you and your family./Just Asking - seoul62.....
Happy Easter, snugs...prayers for your father’s health. Oh, how I wish President Bush was still in office, my fear for this nation grows by the day!
My pleasure enjoy some sweet memories.
Thank you and Happy Easter to you to.
With America having such a left wing President it will only legitimize the left wing movements in other countries.
They didn’t say that was why, but they sure implied it. I am sick of the media trying to make problems in relationships where there aren’t any.
I saw a photo of Cheney in his office in McLean, VA, and on the wall beside him was a big picture of him and President Bush. I doubt if he feels such ill-will toward Bush to the extent that he wouldn’t attend a reunion, that he’d have a huge photo of him on his wall.
Thanks for the ping, snugs! Hope you have a lovely Easter and dad is feeling better soon. :-)
“I doubt if he feels such ill-will toward Bush...”

Take care!
