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
Excellent .. safe travels, if I don’t
‘see ya’ before your fabulous journey
home.
Hugs .. ;)
Great articles. Thanks for posting.
Have you all seen President Bush’s promotional video for his book, “Decision Points” yet? I actually saw this a week and a half ago, but it became widely distributed all over the media yesterday and Greta Van Susteren played the video on her show last night. So, for those of you who haven’t seen it, here it is:
“Decision Points by George W. Bush”

Thanks for re-posting the Decision Points videoclip — it’s already garnered over 50,000 views in less than two days on youtube (and the comments are incredibly positive)!!
Barbara and Jenna recently attended a UNICEF masquerade ball in New York City. You’ll find some FUN (and quite stylish) photos of the twins here:

There were soooo many times, before and during W's presidency, that I was dealing with some tough stuff in MY life---and I would always look to President Bush and think...man, if HE can deal with THAT or THAT or THOSE PEOPLE SAYING OR DOING THAT, my problems are small in comparison. He helped me with "perspective" and I looked up to his strength and resolve to find some of my own.
I look forward to his book. The only "glitch" ...well the biggest glitch anyway in W's and my "relationship" was his stance on Immigration. I used to keep saying WHY is he doing this???? I live in a border state, this is insanity... I also look forward to trying to understand his decision on this issue. I want to understand his position.
AND...I sure miss this fine Patriot being in the White House!!!!
