Joined by gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon, President Bush continued his trip on the left coast today as he spoke to a crowd in San Jose, CA regarding compassionate conservatism. Last night, Bush attended a fund raiser for Simon and raised $2.75 million dollars. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

Rush was pretty "agreeable" during the time I was listening, but mostly he was just letting the speech run without comment

"I can't remember ever seeing the JR. Senator from NY legs?"

That's because she has them on upside down :-)

Thanks -- I am very proud of my son, he's a doll (and I would say that even if I wasn't his Mom)

Cool. CSPAN schedule says they will replay the speech at 12:32 a.m. EST. I'm in the West so I can handle that. I'm excited to hear and see it now based on comments here.

President Bush hit a home run again today

He sure did ...

[terilyn]

Oh no, now you know there will be pictures posted ;)

[Miss Marple]

True. But Mrs. Simon looks very good, I think.

Simon unfortunately doesn't photograph well. He actually is pretty good looking in a Clark Kentish sort of way.

Wonderful pics tonight, RWP!

This one would make a great campaign poster ....

President of ALL the People ...

This speech was FABULOUS!!

It was live on Fox this afternoon, and it's also available on whitehouse.gov.

I thoroughly recommend taking a look at it. The President clearly deliniated Compassionate Conservatism with his usual passion for the subject!

One quote: It is compassionate to actively help our fellow citizens in need. It is conservative to insist on responsibility and results.

And Miss Marple, did you hear him?!! He said, "By being involved and by taking responsibility upon ourselves, we gain something else, as well: We contribute to the life of our country. We become more than taxpayers and occasional voters, we become citizens. Citizens, not spectators. Citizens who hear the call of duty, who stand up for their beliefs, who care for their families, who control their lives, and who treat their neightbors with respect and compassion. We discover a satisfaction that is only found in service, and we show our gratitude to America and to those who came before us.

I jumped up and cheered when he said this!!! This is a FABULOUS President!

Oh, I do so love to see him smile. Lights up his face and the room, no doubt.

You're son was a hoot last night. What a great guy. What's your secret?

[Inspectorette]

GoshDarn! I'm so mad I could just spit!!!!

For all the California-bashers out there, this is the reason why the average California voter goes for the LibDems - the California media is so disgustingly left-wing - what hope is there!!!

We are a small voice crying in the wilderness, and no one is listening!

[McGavin999]

Goodnight Jerry, don't worry about the dutchess, she's in good hands.

[Nea Wood]

Good luck CA. I hope you rid your state of Gray Out Davis!!!!!!

Bless you for that. From your lips to God's cellphone! :-D

[Pippin]

Cool! Dr. Dobson is on Hannity and Colmes tonight! right now! I Listen to him on WRBS the local Christian radio Station here in Baltimore. I love DR. Dobson and Focus on the Family.

[terilyn]

She is very pretty. I thought they actually complimented each other nicely.

[Miss Marple]

Unfortunately, I missed it because I was gone today. I tuned in to the late portion of Rush, and he was back to arguing about the terror war and Arafat with a caller, and so I turned him off.

You know, once you tick me off it is really hard to get on my good side again. I have Scottish ancestors and we hold grudges for a looooong time.

Hey, you got a great kid there, twyn! It was very nice to meet him!

Hey, if he's not around.... did you and mr. twyn enjoy your little 'escape' from the party the other night?! ;o)

[twyn1]

Homeschool ??? and lots of love with a little discipline ?? Or it might just be that the Good Lord was gracious enough to bless me with three sweet kids

[Nea Wood]

I'm totally disgusted even more than ever with our liberal RAT media here in California.

You and me both. I'm in LA, and I can vouch that what you say is true.
