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
For the quote of the month I have chosen President Bush’s Remarks which he gave at the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance Service on September 16, 2005

You’re very welcome Jaycee. Feel the same way too. The Bushes are most the giving and selfless people I have ever seen. They could be living in a life of luxury in retirement but they chose to continue to help others in need. And they’re doing their charity work quietly without hogging in front of the media. That’s what make them beautiful inside and out.

No problem, LUV. At least the Bushes are using their 4th of July break doing something of substance and meaning.

Unlike the Obozos who’ll be partying among the socialists in Paris tomorrow. Ha! They can stay there for as long as they want!
