The month of September 2005 was a very busy month for President Bush after Katrina came on land at the Gulf coast and damaged the area. We see President Bush and First Lady Laura visiting New Orleans and other affected areas in Louisiana and Mississippi to comfort the victims of the hurricane and bring aid
The country lost Chief Justice William Renquist who passed away on September 3, 2005
President Bush nominated Judge Roberts to become the next Chief Supreme Court Justice. On September 29th Justice Roberts was sworn in as the 20th? Supreme Court Chief Justice.
President Bush remembered 9/11 heroes at a Medal of Valor ceremony. He also met with several foreign leaders and addressed the Useless Nations

((Ping!))
Thanks. You did good.
How lucky we were!! God Bless the Family.
God BLESS President Bush and keep him, and his family in HIS care.
You’re welcome. Just trying to bring some joy through the pics and positive stories. Lord knows, we’re gonna need them more than ever if Obozo gets re-elected!
My pleasure, Ohio. Not surprising the lib MSM is jumping all over President Bush for his lukewarm endorsement of Romney and his plans of releasing a book on the economy in July. They still can’t let go of their hatred for the man, can they?
Of course none of it matters to GW as goes about his way to do the things he cares about the most. He is a strong man who is not going to let the liberal attack dogs stop him from being an influential voice in human rights around the world and supporting the troops through the Warrior 100k bike ride and the Warrior Open golf tournament.
Pres. Bush is at a point in his life where he doesn’t need to be insert himself in the political arena and he’s perfectly happy with that!
George W. Bush: The Arab Spring and American Ideals
By GEORGE W. BUSH
These are extraordinary times in the history of freedom. In the Arab Spring, we have seen the broadest challenge to authoritarian rule since the collapse of Soviet communism. The idea that Arab peoples are somehow content with oppression has been discredited forever.
Yet we have also seen instability, uncertainty and the revenge of brutal rulers. The collapse of an old order can unleash resentments and power struggles that a new order is not yet prepared to handle.

George W. Bush cautions against forgetting that 'the human condition overseas matters to our national security'

Former President George W. Bush - a day after telling a Washington audience that the U.S. should take a more active role in supporting democracy movements across the world - further defined the stakes Wednesday night in Dallas. "One of the dangers facing our country is that we don't care what happens in other places around the world," Bush said. "One of the lessons of 9/11 is that the human condition overseas matters to our national security. That's something we can't begin to forget."
The former president - whose namesake public policy institute is promoting its Freedom Collection, an online video archive of interviews with nonviolent dissidents - touched on his foreign policy views at a Bush Institute movie screening of "The Lady."

George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, are expected to return to the White House later this month to be honored by President Barack Obama with the unveiling of their official portraits that will hang at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The White House confirmed on Friday that the Bushes are slated to revisit their Washington home of eight years on May 31 for a rare joint appearance between the current and past president.
Additional details about the event, first reported by The Dallas Morning News, will be released in the next couple weeks, and we've put in a call to Bush's Dallas office as well.

I’ll bet he’d rather have a root canal! :)
Look forward to seeing the portraits, though. I wonder if
zero will put a footnote on them about what HE’S done these
last 4 miserable years!
Fox News showed the report on the ticker this evening
Thank you So much for the Pings, and God Bless you!
Hope they don’t have to spend the night. :-(
I have no doubt that Obozo will pretend to bend over backwards to be nice to the Bushes while muttering obsenities to Moochelle behind their back. Don’t expect the Os to give the Bushes the full red carpet treatment like they did for the Chinese President recently!
