President Bush headed to Chicago today to participate and watch the annual St. Patrick's Day parade. During the procession, Bush stopped the Presidential limo and walked to the viewing area. Chicago Mayor Richard Daly and Illinois Governor George Ryan accompanied the President. The crowd loved it, and cheers of 'Bush! Bush! Bush!' were heard every now and then from spectators. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: The United States has helped Afghanistan avert mass starvation. We're repairing its roads and bridges. We're rebuilding its health clinics and schools. And in one week, with textbooks in hand, the young girls of Afghanistan will begin school. This will be a remarkable moment in the history of Afghanistan, and a proud moment for the people of America.

That Hillary is a blimp?

Isn't there a popular saying something like: _____ me, I'm Irish? Maybe that's what made him laugh. LOL.

A Bush Babe if ever I saw one! LOL!

There must be some Irish ancestry somewhere!
Re #2 - the last photo - GWB looks like he has been leading St Paddy's Day parades all his life.

#1 - he looks like he's having a blast!

His great great great great great grandfather was born in Ireland around 1750 so he actually qualified to be in the Parade! LOL!

I knew you'd have a Dose tonight, rintense!! Cause you're a bonnie lassie!!

Don't you think that it had to be a Secret Service nightmare to have him walk out in the open that way?? I heard that he wanted to be at the NYC parade, but that the proximity of the buildings made it way too dangerous.

And isn't that just Kiss me, I'm Irish?? :o)

[ohioWfan]

Cause you're a bonnie lassie!!

Oops, that's Scottish......oh well, you got the point, I hope!

Thanks for the clarification! For a minute there, I thought you were calling me a dog! LOL. I'm not sure, but I think my dad had some Irish in him, which explains my temper...

[txrangerette]

There IS Irish ancestry back there--several great-great- great-great-greats ago according to CNN anyway.

Great moments! If not for this thread, I would have missed um! LOVE THESE PHOTOS! So much emotion.

Howlin said: I'd LOVE to know what that person said that made him laugh out loud like that!

Oh, babe, SO would I. He is simply GLEEFUL!!

But I would also like to know about the photo of the woman who is apparently wiping away a tear ( the woman with the faux fur cuffs and lapels. Our President is looking at her with a face that makes me want to weep. Wonder what was up with that moment?

[Wphile]

Woo Hoo! A Saturday dose! W looks like he is having a blast! I love that wave of his.

Seeing that Bushbabe makes me think this will be Lawgirl on Monday!

So did I! And guess what......mine is a WALKER, too!

Believe me when I tell you, I'm DESPERATELY trying to link us up.........LOL.

I was wondering about that moment too. Looks like he is about to put his arm around her and provide some comfort.

I heard a replay of the parade on the radio and all I could hear was USA, USA, USA!! The announcer said the crowd started chanting when W got out of his limo. He is too cool!
