Special Report w/ Bret Baier
Life after the Presidency, get expert insight and analysis of George W Bush's latest speech!
Hey everybody: Just wanted to give you a Texas-sized ‘shout out’ from Big ‘D’ (Dallas)!
We’re having such a great time! The weather is perfect and the sight-seeing opportunities are endless.
This morning, we made the ‘pilgrimage’ to the President and Laura’s home on Daria Place . . . Even though the security gate is now up, we really enjoyed visiting the beautiful, yet unpretentious neighborhood of our wonderful First Couple — interestingly, an elementary school is literally across the street!
This evening, we spent some time sipping coffee on benches situated within the Laura Bush promendade at SMU — our hotel is literally across the street. What an incredibly touching gift from Governor Bush to his beautiful First Lady!
Tomorrow is the big day — the President’s speech begins at 2PM central time . . . I hope Fox News covers at least some portion of it:
BUSH TO REVEAL VISION FOR POLICY INSTITUTE
SMU speech planned for Thursday
[Remember to vote for “THRILLED”!]

Oooo....that’s wonderful that you are in Dallas and will get to hear/see the president speak! I am SO jealous and wish I could be there with you. It would be lovely to get to visit with you again and to meet your hubby.
Have a wonderful time...hope you can post pictures! :D
Hillary’s followers had something nice to say about GW? Hell truly HAS frozen over! LOL!
Hi DrDeb
I just read the article from Hillbuz and was going to post it here because everyone needs to see it. It was just thrilled to see that doubters are finally seeing what we always knew. I hope the President surfs the net.
I just submitted the link to Drudge report - hope he posts it so it will really take off.
I wondered if you would be in Dallas tomorrow. My husband and I are driving up from Austin in the morning. I am just so excited. You probably already know that you can’t take a purse or camera into the auditorium. Cellphones are allowed though. Have a wonderful time at the event.
So glad to hear you are having a great time. I hope you will show us pictures! I will be thinking of you tomorrow as you are in the same room with them....how very exciting!!! I am flying to Michigan tomorrow and won't be able to watch the webcast---I hope they rerun it so I can see it later. I loved getting a very nice email from the foundation inviting us to view the webcast.
Soak it all up for us!!!!!
Sounds like you are having a great time. I'll try and be in just in case the enemedia decides to carry the PRESIDENT'S speech.

This is a very heartwarming blog post. In some ways I hope that your sentiments are echoed across the USA.
Even though I was not a Bush fan, I never lampooned him, and I cringed when I saw what was written about him.
The meme about his intelligence is truly insulting since George Bush has an MBA, which he had the intellectual acumen to obtain that higher degree, unlike the present man in the White House who will not divulge his college records. (BTW I am degree qualified). As far as getting a degree is concerned, to be honest I do not think it is a true measure of intelligence, and it is definitely not a measure of wisdom.
Your POTUS might have a law degree from Harvard and he might have got a degree from Columbia, even though people from his college year do not remember him, but he lacks the wisdom to be a leader of the country.
As an outsider I found George to be a man of conviction and he certainly showed passion when it was necessary. The present POTUS comes across as a cold fish, and a very glib speaker. The problem with that particular style is that this form of charisma is exactly what caused people to be attracted to Adolf Hitler.
When I was recently in the USA I met some really wonderful people. What I did notice though, it was the middle aged women who had stars shining in their eyes where the present POTUS is concerned. They were very good at repeating the meme about “cleaning up the mess”. Yet, did they really understand that it is not the President who makes all of those policies but the Congress, and the Congress had been in Democrat hands since 2006 when the economy started to go really bad. Did they know that the present POTUS refused to pass reforms that would have made sure that the housing bubble and the crisis that followed was only a blip rather than a full blown disaster? Did they know that the present POTUS actually lobbied for the very reforms that he then blamed on the insurance companies for they way that they packaged the mortgages? Probably not, they just go along with whatever they see on CNN…
Do not worry, here in Australia there are many going through the same kind of buyers’ remorse since we are also stuck with the egotistical and narcissistic Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister who is just as bad as the POTUS.
YeeHaw & Howdy!! What fun that trip must have been to the BIG D.
Thaks for Your post about that too!
Priceless!
