A Month in the life of George W. Bush ( News and photos) Debember 2009

White House Archives ^ | December 3, 2009

[Kaslin]

First of all my apologies for being so late to post the monthly Sanity Island. I got started late and and that put me behind

It’s almost 11 month since President Bush has left office. There goes no day by that I wished he were still in the White House. No matter though he is still my President and will always be as long as I live.

Today I will post photos from December 2001 and 2002, and tomorrow from 2003 and 2004

For the quote of the day I have chosen the address President Bush gave to the Marines at Camp Pendelton on December 4, 2004. I will only post the first two paragraphs and will post the link to the entire address

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island

So exciting!!! Thanks for the info. I’m smellin’ a signed bookplate from my b-day buddy! kewl

[NordP]

My cell phone pic is of Karl and I with the words COUNTER TERRORISM UNIT across the top ;-)

P.S. There are a few shopping days left to our birthday, so when sending your request for a book plate, send a birthday card to Karl, too.

Christmas Babies Rule - right Karl??? ;-)

[NordP]

This picture is just so beautiful of the two of them. I sure wish W was in the White House, still. so sad.

GREAT idea, NordP! I will do it. I would love to find a funny card for Karl--he has such a good sense of humor. I didn't realize you were a Christmas baby too. I LOVE your phone pic (in my mind---I'd love to see the real thing!).

P.S. DH delivered a baby last night that was due on Christmas...

That is a fabulous picture. Laura is so beautiful! We miss them on so many levels, don’t we-—their warmth and wit, wisdom, leadership, patriotism, faith, character....I could go on and on. Big sigh.

dmd25!!!!

GOOD to see you and to find this thread. I must have missed pings, so thank you Starwise!

I have not seen ratbert4 here.

Thanks you for the HR info. I will send my SASE out with the morning mail. Thank you so much (((dmd25))) and you too(((Star))) for the ping. I was about to head into sleepland.

An “I LOVE KARL ROVE” BUMP TO THE TOP!

[STARWISE]

Schmooches ... ;)

[dmd25]

You are welcome, onyx! I need to make a ping list, I guess--I just copy DrDeb's usually, but I can only see some of the list so I know I miss people (not that what I post is all that important, but I don't want to miss you!).

So glad you got the ping. I am going to look for a birthday card for him today and then send my sase. Very exciting!

[onyx]

Birthday card to same address? How delightful! I’m thrilled to see you here.

[DrDeb]

THANKS MUCH for sharing your ‘twitter’ information with us . . . I can’t wait to read Karl’s book and will request a bookplate ASAP book!!

[Alright, I’m having a brain fade: What does SASE mean?]

[DrDeb]

I like the idea of a birthday card — Thanks!

[DrDeb]

OK, my brain is functioning again: SASE — self-addressed stamped envelope.

[NordP]

DH...missed it by THAT much ;-)

[dmd25]

You are welcome DrDeb! I knew you would be thrilled!

I think our brains are all taxed right now....totally understand the SASE lapse.... :)

Hi onyx!

NordP reminded us that she and Karl share a birthday (Christmas!). At her suggestion, I thought I would send him a card when requesting my bookplate. I am sending it to the POB listed above.

Hugs to you, onyx!

Do you think the Nobel Committee would except our nomination?!:

BUSH DESERVES THE NOBEL MORE THAN OBAMA
by Aaron Goldstein | December 8th, 2009

. . . It is reasonable to assume that George W. Bush didn’t initiate PEPFAR to get international recognition much less attain the good graces of the liberal media. After all, there is a very long way to go in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa especially where it concerns prevention. At the risk of sounding cliche, Bush’s efforts with regard to PEPFAR are only the beginning. Yet Bush surely deserves and merits acknowledgment for getting this program off the ground and up and running.

Members of national assemblies or governments may nominate George W. Bush for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize between now and February 1, 2010. It would be fitting if the nomination was submitted jointly by a member of Congress and a parliamentarian or government official from one of the countries that has benefited from PEPFAR. If the Nobel Peace Prize is to still mean anything then Bush ought to be nominated for it regardless of the likelihood there will be a dinner held in his honor next December in Oslo

Not only does President Bush deserve the nomination, he deserves the Nobel prize 100 times more then the P O S that currently occupies the Peoples House and that one should be ashamed to pick it up

That’s such a GOOD idea. Sweet you and NordP! I got my envelope addressed in time, but it was raining, so I didn’t put it out for the mailman to pick up. I might decide to send KR a BD card too.
