President Bush was back in Washington today, a day before leaving on a trip to Africa. The President is celebrate his 57th birthday today, and began the day with church services where Rev. Spencer M. Rice included birthday wishes and prayers for him. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!
From the looks of the first picture, he had a nice birthday weekend. I hope you all had a great Fourth of July.
Saw some of this show myself and almost barfed my dinner. Interestingly Alan Greenspan's wife, Andrea Mitchell, filling in for Russett, tossed them the softballs and offered nothing to 'balance' their charges....oh well....her usual bias was evident.
Russett would have done a better job of presenting the other side, I think.
The media will be doing all they can for the next 15 months to chip away at GWB's credibility and the support he enjoys from the American people, but they are barking up the wrong tree if they think they can attack his reasons for taking this country to war against Iraq. A large majority of Americans thought we should have taken out Saddam back in 1991, so their attempts to paint him as war monger isn't gonna cut it.
What we have going on here is the only way Terry McAuliffe knows how to operate. He and the hacks on the left are blinded by their hatred and have no message at all to run on because they're to busy waiting for the President to slip up in any way. Just look at their cries about him saying "Bring-em On". That alone is a sign they have absolutely nothing to run on, my goodness what is he supposed to say..... "I am begging those who are fighting us in Iraq to stop the violence against us" ?
If the economy continues to pick up like it has so far this year, by next spring the lagging indicator (unemployment) will improve and the GDP will soar. If the WMD's are found and Saddam is captured or proven dead, the democrats have ZILCH, and I mean ZILCH to offer in 2004.

Mike and I are hoping we hear soon that our package for Eric arrived in Iraq.
I'm relieved that we have apparently gotten through our Fourth of July celebrations without any terrorist attacks, and continue to pray that God will bring Saddam Hussein to justice soon.
