This morning, President Bush, joined by firefighters and police officers, emergency personnel and local public officials, addressed members of Congress in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Office Buiding at the White House on the subject of the Homeland Security Department, stressing the need for managerial flexibility as a key to it's success. This afternoon in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, he honored the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, calling on Congress to fund his New Freedom Initiative budget requests.

Last night House and Senate negotiators agreed on a bill that would give President Bush fast tracked trade promotion authority, and this afternoon, he made a trip to Capitol Hill to thank them, and to urge House Republicans to back the bill. Enjoy your Daily Dose of Dubya!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: This administration is working with Congress to forge a bipartisan bill, and I want to appreciate the members of both parties for coming this morning. I believe we're making good progress. And of course, being the modest fellow that I am, I'm willing to recognize a good idea even if it comes from Congress. (Laughter) Yet, it's important to understand this: I'm not going to accept legislation that limits or weakens the President's well-established authorities--authorities to exempt parts of government from federal labor management relations statute---when it serves our national interest.

Good job ohioWfan, these are great pictures. I love the one where he's leaning forward on the podium. I watched the speech this morning and when he got to that part his voice got very hard. Everyone in that room knew that he means business.
