The month of July 2005 was another busy month for President Bush as you can see in the photos.
I have chosen President Bush’s Independence Day message from July 1st 2005 as quote of the month
Well, I do a little searching here and here, typing certain keywords in Facebook and Twitter search engines. Every day I find these photos or stories I’m just in awe and amazed how personable and friendly Bush has been with lots of people. The liberal media made him out to be a monster that he certainly is not!

Thanks, Patty! I notice a bad scrape/cut on his left arm. Maybe
he had a bit of a spill? Gee, he is SO fit and healthy looking!
Thank you SO much for your detective work and for sharing
your great “find”!
Wow, look at his arm
The blood might have come from that big old laceration on his forearm!
But at least he doesn't look like he did after THIS bike accident on the ranch....
I'll be interested in seeing his next photos to see if he's got any scars on that arm!
No blood in the earlier one. :)
Awww...I remember that! Poor guy...the media just couldn’t
get enough of making him seem like a klutz!
I’m sure the arm is quite painful..especially when it’s cleaned out! ouch!
I can't help but think that the vast majority of Americans were smarter than the leftist media and knew better though.
(Just like they knew Gerald Ford, star athlete, wasn't the clumsy oaf they tried to pretend he was).
And then, of course, they tried to pretend that John KLUTZ Kerry was smooth, when he was ridiculously awkward, and they pretend Obama is an athlete, when he throws a baseball like an uncoordinated girl.
The media is PATHETIC. But OUR President is COOL, and that's all that matters! ;*)
GWB Update . . .
According to Gallup, President Bush’s favorability rating is currently 45%, UP 10 points since March.
Given that Gallup routinely oversamples Democrats, the President’s ratings are almost certainly closer to 50% and Obama’s ratings are almost certainly closer to 46% - 48% — and Obama’s hasn’t even been in office 2 years! [Clinton is an abberation — his ratings too are almost certainly closer to the mid-50s and only because independents and some Republicans find him likeable compared to Obama.]

And yes, our ‘popular’ president has also exceeded a quarter of a million ‘likes’ on facebook; in fact, he’s over 260,000 ‘likes’ in under two months!

Ari Fleischer: Phew. Back in NY. But there’s no gate available. Tomorrow I fly to Dallas. Maybe I should just sleep on the plane.
Susan Edstrom: So what are you doing in my neck of the woods?
Ari Fleischer: Going to see my old boss. It’s a mini reunion with a group of former aides...
[I’d love to be a fly on the wall at this reunion!!]

LOL! Wouldn’t that be a meeting that would be fun to listen
in to! Wow!
Of course, OUR president is popular. People are finally having
a DUH moment and are realizing that HE was right all along in
his way of steering the ship of state!
I found this at the bottom of an article from the “American Thinking” today “In Defense of W”.
“What does all that have to do with Bush and spending? It’s simple. After 9/11, the Democrats got their way domestically, and in return Bush received their votes on financing a war that he believed had to be won. Bush didn’t veto a single spending bill. It was a deal. Bush set his priorities and stuck to them like a ferocious terrier.
Obama has a lot of catchin’ up to do to get to that level of honor.”
So he (Pres. Bush) didn’t veto a single spending bill so the Congress would finance the troops and the war. I had never heard this before, but I HAVE heard a lot of griping about Bush’s outlandish spending and refusal to use the veto pen. Now, I know why he did that.
For the complet story see http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/07/in_defense_of_w.html
Me too, DrDeb, me too. It would be so much fun--and probably very enlightening.
We miss him so much, don't we?!
Unfortunately I am not :(
Ari Fleischer: "Just leaving Dallas where I saw my old boss and met with a group to talk about the launch of the Bush Center. Groundbreaking is in Nov. Boy is Bush focused on the power of freedom and democracy around the globe - that's still his charge."
From the LA times (Ha! I know shocking isn't it!):
"Bush's unpopularity among voters starts to fade" The former president's standing remains weak, but polls suggest it's now less effective for Democrats to try to run against him.
July 25, 2010 By Michael A. Memoli
New polling shows that Bush's standing among the electorate remains weak, and that voters for the most part still fault him for the nation's ailing economy. But as President Obama's popularity has stagnated, Democratic strategists say that drawing simple comparisons between the two leaders is not a surefire strategy to move voters their way.
"Our current data brings into question the notion that you can run against Bush and win," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Obviously Bush is not popular. The question is: Does it help Obama to run against the past in debating the future?"
A Quinnipiac survey last week found that Obama's "political honeymoon ended," and put his job approval rating at a new low of 44%. When voters were asked whether he was a better president than Bush, 42% said yes, and 32% said no. The gap was narrower among voters who identify themselves as independents, a potentially troublesome finding for Democrats.
A survey from Gallup released last week found that Bush's personal favorability rating had increased 10 points since the last such poll in 2009. At 45%, it was just 7 points behind Obama's, bringing into question whether attacking the Bush legacy would be very effective.
"All elections are about the future. If Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi [D- San Francisco] doesn't understand that, she might as well hand over the gavel right now," said Scott Stanzel, a former deputy press secretary for the Bush White House.
Democratic strategists concede that they won't be able to use the former president against Republican candidates as they did in past cycles. But they say candidates can find success if they make an aggressive case about whether voters want to return to the policies the Bush administration pursued.
"I think that voters this year are a little bit too smart for boogeyman. You can't just throw out a name and hope that it's going to have an impact," said Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Assn.

Also President Bush and wife Laura attended the Texas Rangers game last night at Arlington stadium where the Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-4. Oh, and he also got a standing ovation. Yep, looks like more and more people are beginning to see what an awful disaster Obama has been!
