that first picture posted here gave me goosebumps! it was as if George Washington was listening very attentavely to Our President Bush and saying "Atta Boy! George!". I have never noticed the soft, kind, wise "overseeing" look that was given to our first president's eyes in Mt. Rushmore, till I saw this, with Washington as if he were looking down on all the presidents to follow him, and standing in one spirit with Bush. I get the feeling, from having studied Wasington's life a bit, that he would approve of Bush's stewardship.
I think we need another mountain into which someone etches a few more presidential faces for posterity. Of course, only the giants would be there, which means it would be a carter and clinton-free zone. If nothing else, then a wall of conservative faces should be in one place!
Hi, Gretchen!
Sorry it took so long to answer your reply to my post were I made an observation about the first picture Rintense posted on the thread of 8/15.
I left early on Friady morning to go on a retreat in Pennsylvania. It was wonderful. I'll be posting my story of this weekend on another thread. I don't know if you go to Billie's thread, FR's Finest, or not but that is the thread I'll be putting it on.
As for the picture of President Bush at Mt. Rushmore, I'm glad to see someone else also saw what I saw whith Washington seeming to be gazing down at his political "Decendant".
I think it is a beautiful thought.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and may God bless you.
