Where is Laura?

My guess is in the private quarters of the White House waiting for that hunk to come home.

Gives new meaning to the old phrase used to indicate settling in and waiting:
Hunker down.

how good he is at speaking for the President, politely fielding stupid press questions and clearly getting the message out

After watching excerpts of a few of these press briefings, I have come up with a new synonym for pathetic, and that is "Most of the White House Press Corps." My gosh, they not only ask stupid questions, they ask them three times, changing only the word order or perhaps one adjective, as if that is going to force the press secretary to flub up and forget himself and divulge national security information to them. They also act as if they are tone deaf to any WH spokesman's voice; and as if they can't think up a smart question (I'm not sure they're acting there). If Mike McCurry gave advice to Ari, I bet it was, "Just keep saying the same reply over and over till they drop it."

They work on the level of high school journalism students. Say, about tenth grade. I am not kidding!

My son went last year to the NYLF on law. He has been invited back this year. Nice to know we both have great kids!

P.S. We deliberately chose for Jeff to go in March. We just knew W would be President by then and didn't want him going until the White House had been fumigated!

Thanks again rintense.

You can see the pain in his eyes for the people of NY.

Dubya is such a caring, sincere person, so real, nothing fake about him.

Knowing he is in charge is very calming in these very terrible times.

I am amazed at the steady stream of world leaders who are meeting with the President. X42 was constantly and assiduously photographed with Arafat, Barak, and Blair. I do not remember other heads of state with whom he met at the White House.

Plus I noticed how helpful President Bush was to Mandela as he negotiated the stairs, as you can see in the pictures. No self-conciousness...just natural courtesy for the elderly, which I have noticed with him before. He is a good man, isn't he?

Yes. Loving.

From the manner in which he guided and supported Mandela, to the way he stoops to eye level to speak with those in wheel chairs, often kissing them on the cheek to express his caring and understanding, or the way he bends to eye level with little ones who might otherwise be intimidated, to the way he gentle way he holds the face of a search dog in the WTC ruins, lowering himself to gaze into the calm eyes of the animal, to the kindness he extends to each guest, to the gentle way he touches Laura or the joyful way he expresses his love for his own pets, to the caring hand he always has resting on the back of a visiting dignitary or guest, or a spark of humor so visible during a handshake-he IS the best! (Because some things, ya just can't fake!)

He's the best, Miss Marple. We are so blessed to have him as our President. God bless George Bush and God bless America!

"I swear, President Bush, if that Clinton woman and her crusty black pantsuit come near me again, I'm gonna kick her in the clymer!"

"Yeah, I know how you feel."

He is a good man, isn't he?

And a strong one, too.

More than ever, I've been thanking God every day these past two months that George W. Bush is our President. I feel safe, secure and comforted with him in charge.

He has been invited back this year

Hey, if he's there this year, tell him to look for a tall, good-looking blonde kid from Ohio!! LOL!!!

Seriously, this is a great experience for students from all over the country. It really had an impact on our older son. Things were really brewing in Kosovo when he went (for International Relations, Defense and Diplomacy), and they had to brainstorm and come up with diplomatic solutions to the problem, short of armed conflict. Shortly after that things erupted. (They should have called in my son to help solve things for them- he's now majoring in Int'l Relations in College!)

Good to know you have a bright son too!

Wow! You sure have the skinny on Ari's career! Hey! Are you his mother? :-)

I have been so impressed with the unflappable Ari from the get-go. And it isn't just because he was such a relief after that droid Lockhart, who put an annoying "uh, uh" after every three words Lockhartwas so inarticulate; maybe lying was not as easy for him as it was for the rest of the Clintonistas, like Begala and that little faggot Stephanopoulos.

Do you know what Terry McAuliffe reminds me of?

Some sleezebag that tries to hustle underaged girls for sex...I wouldn't be surprised; he's a friend of I-X42.
