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
Done
I am so grateful to all of those that prayed for him and supported me and as you say he is such an answer to prayers.
Laura Bush has natural style and grace that Mrs O can never hope to emulate.
Yep those were the days.
The Yorkshire pudding that you cooked looks like a large yeast roll or biscuit (not a "cookie" type, but a breakfast type biscuit that we eat here...like these that I made for Thanksgiving morning....
We eat those with syrup (I like maple syrup), gravy, fruit jellies or honey.
Glad your Dad enjoyed his belated Christmas Feast!
I love that little card of the Easter Egg Roll of 2006 including Barney, Miss Beasley and India!
ROTFL! I'd never heard of Noddy before, but the look on that child's face is just priceless!!
I wonder who illustrates those drawings for each year’s Easter festivities? They always include the pets! It’s cute!
Your biscuits are similar to our sconces Yorkshire pudding is a batter pudding basically a pancake mix but your pancake mix is made with baking powder ours is not.
There is a noddy website, here is the link
There is a UK and USA section to the website amongst other countries.

TONIGHT, PRESIDENT BUSH IS HOSTING A DINNER FOR KEY MEMBERS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION . . . On Hannity this afternoon, Karl Rove mentioned that he planned to attend this dinner . . . I certainly hope someone is taking (and plans to release) photos!
BUSH REUNION WILL HAVE MUCH TO CELEBRATE
Monday, April 13, 2009 8:50 AM
By: Ronald Kessler
Top Bush administration officials will be holding a reunion with the former president at his home in Dallas Monday night to map plans for the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
In contrast to President Obama, who takes swipes at Bush at every turn, they will have much to be proud of.
For more than seven years, Bush kept us safe after the 9/11 attacks. He liberated 50 million people and took down a dictator who killed 300,000 people.

GEORGE W BUSH AROUND TOWN
A slideshow from the Dallas area:

THOSE look YUMMY...what exactly are they?
Ah...I figured it out....they are Yorkshire Puddings!
Such class; how I miss them :(
W. casts the shadow of an eagle (photo # 1).
I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed this thread this evening. Got all sentimental looking at the wonderful pictures of President Bush and Laura and all those Easter egg events at the White House.
The media today acted as if this was the first year we have had one. I’ve never seen so much gushing and child-like behavior coming from them today. Its as if this is the very best ever.....I almost have to take Pepto-Bismol..LOL!
Thanks, snugs.
Our pancakes are very flat and cooked in a skillet on top
of the stove. Your Yorkshire puddng looks baked. I hope I
get to go to England some day and have some!...maybe even
with you! :D
Another traditional dish of ours made with this batter is toad in the hole which is a large Yorkshire pudding in a batter pan or oblong casserole dish with sausages.
