A day in the life of President Bush (debate): 8/8/02

The incredible minds of FreeRepublic

[rintense]

Since there aren't any photos today, I thought we could try something new. Instead of posting your favorite photos, let's have a friendly debate (and I mean friendly, damn it!)

Tonight's topic: Media stories about Iraq: Pentagon plants or True stories. Discuss.

RULES: 1. Be respectful of others' opinions.
2. If you use sources, please cite them.
3. No flaming!
4. See rule 1.

We are going to wake up one morning soon and turn on our TVs to see pictures of the crater that used to be Baghdad. No massive invasion

I got a feeling you may be right there .. except we are gonna have to send in troops eventually .. I don't think there is any way around that one

[Mo1]

hard to have any sort of surprise element when the liberal media won't shaddup!

I don't know about that ..

Have ya noticed that none of the media seem to be camping out in Iraq like they did the last time ..

[reDublican]

Sigh....these two just don't quit.

I expect he'll end up inviting her, too.... I don't see how he can avoid it now that she has made such a big deal of it publically. If it were me I'd let her stew but it would be a cold day before she got an invitation to visit the ranch or attend the townhall.

Here is another oldie from the MJY archives

[kayak]

#41 is in a situation that I don't think anyone in history has ever experienced before ..... certainly not in U.S. history.

As a young man, he fought in a war and saw what hell it is.

As President he had the heavy burden of sending our young men and women off to battle, knowing all too well what they would be facing and that there would be some injured and killed.

Now as a father, he has to see his son shouldering that responsibility too.

No one else can possibly understand just what the son is living with than his father. He must be so full of pride and concern that it's beyond our comprehension. I keep him in my prayers in a special way.

..... I suspect that the role of father is the most difficult of all for him. It's much easier for a parent to endure just about anything than to see their children doing so.

This is why I think Armey is babbling like a fool

I saw that thread and didn't know what to make of it.. I was surpised Armey would say that

[hoosierpearl]

I don't know. Normally I would think he would invite her, but she was trying to see him in Washington before he left. If he really thinks the bill that she is pushing is a bad idea, he won't want to sign it.

And last but not least, I for one would love to see her beg and be ignored. The phone won't ring. Just like #97 treats other people [run over policemen for instance]. And why would any self respecting NY police officer want to go anywhere with her after she ran that other officer down and didn't apologize? Beg Hitlery, beg. You aren't as cute as Barney.

Here is one from the last day in office

[Darlin']

Hehehe. Maybe they fear this time there's gonna be a a really big boom.

[SevenofNine]

OH THAT Go way back in da day

RACK THAT PHOTO

Show Reagan and Nancy going for Final curtain call
WELL They were both actors they allowing Bush clan take over

I think Ronnie think I think i did my best

So it your acting gig is now Mr President Bush

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I have been driving my old Scirocco for about 10 years, so many miles..they don't even record anymore,,bought it for $200.00, painted it, driving it, loving it..anti-sway bars, front wheel drive. responds like a lover, 5 speed..hmmm, maybe I will go for a drive! It don't give me no lip!

Course, Mr. B keeps it that way...hmmmm.

Maybe I'll stay home after all! LOL

[Mo1]

Don't forget our "friends" the Saudis. What is the story with them?

Not to make excuses for those POS but if they came out and sided with us .. The Sauidi Princes would have to run for the hills because there would be a lench mob beating down there door

With that said .. I don't want to have anything to do with those people

[SevenofNine]

Hey MJY now I been thinking I don't believe that Edmund Morris dude who claim about Reagan didn't like Bush family OH NOO

SCREW HIM actually I borrow the book from library kinda disappoint in that book

Best Reagan book I read connect to Reagan was Peggy Noohan book Character and Lou Cannon book came out in 1990 about Ronnie


To me Reagan was Jack Warner of GOP think about it

He gave Rummy Condri Rice and rest of what Dubya advisors their big break in District

[Mo1]

The signs are all there, then there is the curious timing of the Secret Service's announcement that they are expanding the protective zone around the White House.

That sparked my attention also

[Mo1]

LOL .. very possible

[Darlin']

I didn't know that she had tried to see him before he left DC. LOL That is probably why she is pulling this stuff. I understand he is opposed to her bill because the services are already covered in another bill so it would be a double dip from the budget.

Since she is shamelessly using those firemen and ironworkers for self promotion I guess she plans to pick up the tab for their travel expenses... Yeah, right. FOFL

[Mo1]

Poor Barbara!! She had to sit next to the toon!

I think Barbara made sure she sat there to protect her bleoved Husband and Son from those creeps

[Mo1]

I find myself wondering if they are the source of some of these leaks ..... trying to force things to happen the way they want them to happen rather than the way they should occur.

I think the odds of that are very good

And you are right .. Rummy and the President were very upset about those leaks

[CyberAnt]

Following is the comment I made about the picture, and why it is so precious to me:

I have always believed the President whispered to his wife: "Honey, no matter what happens, we'll always have each other".

I believe that's what every wife wants to hear from her husband.
