A day in the life of President Bush (photos): 5/17/02
yahoo.com, whitehouse.gov

Posted on 05/17/2002 6:46:29 PM PDT by rintense

President Bush went on the defensive against Democratic claims he knew about the September 11th bombings and did nothing to prevent them. In a ceremony to honor the Air Force football team, Bush hinted of partisan politics and second guessing, saying, "You know, what's interesting about Washington, it's a town -- unfortunately, it's the kind of place where second-guessing has become second-nature." As the rhetoric has died down as news that leading Congressional Democrats also knew of the pre 9-11 briefings, focus has now shifted to the Clinton Administration and the several security briefings they received in the days following the missle attack on Osama's headquarters.

Later in the day, the President encouraged strengthening Medicare and choice coverage options. Bush also met with Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Drnovsek. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

Character DOES count! .......... It certainly does in Indiana!

Keep sending those messages of support to President Bush.........President@whitehouse.gov........A letter to the editor of any newspaper that carried the story. E-mail the news services. Let'em know you're MAD and you're not going to take it anymore!

I think I'd purposely go off my hormones for a few days...just to have the proper mindset in choking the old bat.

That is a hoot--love it!!

It was nice seeing el Rushbo defending the president and going after the democrats. This might just be energizing the republican base.

I thought the same thing, ollie. I heard Rush today, and it was wonderful to hear him defend the President for a change! Same thing tonight with Sean Hannity.

Maybe this will wake everyone up to who this President really is, and what he has done for our country, and the silly nitpicking will stop!

This whole thing is backfiring as we speak, The media is covering for these lowlife democrats and they are even spinning the polls by asking misleading questions. I will guarantee you that within two weeks there will be such an outrage all across this country for what the bastards have done to the victims of 911. One thing we have in our corner is the TRUTH, and the truth is..... This is a low brow political stunt that will be condemned by the American people

LOL! Yes, we did post the same things again. I had to skip out there and make dinner and eat dinner with my family. I am so upset about this media crap. Could you believe the NYPOST headline, "Bush knew." Unbelieveable.

I emailed him and called the switchboard. I had to wait about 20 minutes. The woman I spoke to was very sweet. I told her to tell the president that I am praying for him and that I am so disgusted with what the democrats are trying to do. I then told her that he is doing a wonderful job and the American people support him. She was very nice and said she would be sure to pass it along. She said it means so much to him to hear from the people. *sniff, sniff*

LT...I bet Barbara Bush was screaming her bloody head off. Dasshole and Geppetto have insulted the integrity and character of her boy. Sheesh...the way I've felt the last couple of days, you would have thought I was his mother.

Yes. I love the way her hairstyle has softened since she became First Lady, and I love the way she looks in pastels.

But I completely agree with those who have said it is the peace and love in her face that are most remarkable. I believe she is completely content in the love of the Lord........and her husband.

I know that she met with Danny Pearl's widow on this trip, and I couldn't help but think what a comfort Laura had to be to her.

I am thinking the same also .. I spoke to a few moms around here that are Dems .. they are TICKED OFF also .. they think what the Dems Leaders and the Media are doing is disgusting

They said that they may not agree with Bush's politics but they believe him to be a good and honest man and that they don't believe the charges the Press is pushing

They're media whores. Sacrificing what's right and good for their evil little schemes and greedy power desires.

I read on another thread on FR today that a poll in S.Dakota was heavily in favor of President Bush. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?

Will someone please tailor the President's suits? It looks like he's swimming in them.

The President has his trousers cut loose for reasons of modesty and dignity. This was true even before he lost weight.

One of my demo friends saw the picture of WJC with the cigar sticking out of his mouth and mentioned how discusting SHE thought it was. Suggested maybe he should be censored? His appearances and 'hurting' his image? LOL

(D)Senator Tim Johnson from S. Dakota is 22 points behind in the polls to his Republican challenger.

Makes you feel warm and fuzzy doesn't it?
