Quote Of the Month


My greatest responsibility as President is to protect the American people. And that's your calling, as well. I thank you for your service, your courage and your sacrifice. I thank your families, who support you in your vital work. The soldiers and families of Fort Bragg have contributed mightily to our efforts to secure our country and promote peace. America is grateful, and so is your Commander-in-Chief.

President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair hold a joint press conference in the East Room Tuesday, June 7, 2005. "Prime Minister Blair and I share a common vision of a world that is free, prosperous, and at peace," said President Bush. "When men and women are free to choose their own governments, to speak their minds, and to pursue a good life for their families, they build a strong, prosperous and just society."

Refreshing! I’ll be glad when the adults are in charge again.

Bush had his faults but at least he had class and dignity unlike the TOTUS.

It would be interesting to see the comparison, day by day or month by month of GWB vs 0. Between campaign appearances, date nights and vacations, it would make interesting reading for the Democrats and Independents.

I am not sure why (so MANY reasons to choose from) but today, I REALLY miss George Bush.

Despite the aftermath of 9-11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, who would have thought I might consider 2005 the good old days.

After seeing the current White House occupant on the TV nearly EVERY day, with such crass and uncouth behavior and sound bites, I am profoundly embarrassed. The current bungling of EVERY issue facing this country makes me want to escape to some desert (sanity) island somewhere until it’s all over!

Thank you for posting these threads. They are MY hope, along with daily prayer that we can survive a couple more years of this disaster of the Obama administration.

My prayers and thoughts to the Bush family.

Prescott Bush, brother, uncle to presidents, dies
(AP) – 2 hours ago

HINGHAM, Mass. — Prescott S. Bush Jr., brother to one U.S. president and uncle to another, has died after a long illness, according to his family. He was 87.

A retired insurance executive, Bush died on Wednesday in Hingham, Mass., a spokeswoman for Keohane Funeral Home said. He had moved there from Greenwich, Conn., about three years ago.

Bush was the brother of former President George H.W. Bush and the uncle of former president George W. Bush.

Prescott Bush “loved life, family and friends and lived with a spirit of abundance,” the statement read.

Bush was born in Portland, Maine, and grew up in Greenwich, Conn., later returning to live in Greenwich. He attended Phillips Academy Andover and Yale University.

Bush was active in Connecticut politics as an advisor, campaign manager and fundraiser to Republican candidates and in 1982 was briefly a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat his father, Prescott Bush, held for two terms.

After graduating Yale in 1944, Bush lived in Brazil, where he helped Pan American Airways build and operate airfields. He returned to the U.S. in 1949 to take a job with Pan Am in New York City and later went to work for the Wall Street insurance brokerage firm Johnson & Higgins, where he became a partner.

After retirement, he founded the United States-China Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit organization that encourages U.S.-China trade and investment.

“Above all else, he was a devoted family man whose philanthropy started at home,” according to the statement released by his family.

Bush leaves his wife of 66 years, Elizabeth, his son James Bush and daughter Kelsey Bush-Nadeau, and six grandchildren.

A memorial service was scheduled for June 30 at Christ Church Greenwich.
