A day in the life of President Bush (photos): 5/15 and 5/16/02

This is a special double-edition daily dose due to FR being down yesterday...

President Bush and his administration were in the defensive today as Democrats and the media swarmed around revelations that the President was given a general warning about possible hijackings before September 11th. It was revealed later in the day that the very same Democrats leading the negative charge, Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt, also knew of the briefings yet failed to let the media know. By the end of the day, it was the Republicans in Congress leading the charge and taking the Democrats to task for their usual games of partisan slander.

This afternoon, in a move to give the public more knowledge on the exact nature of the briefings, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice confronted the media with detailed national security intelligence in the months leading up to September 11th. It was made clear that the intelligence briefings given to the President were not specific or detailed enough to prevent the suicide bomber attacks.

In much lighter news, the President began the day at the First Annual National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. Later he presented the Congressional Gold Medal to President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy.

I like that! STCR New acronym for my collection. I like it a lot.

MAN THE PHONES!!

Tomorrow, call CNN, CNBC, local affiliates of the networks, your Senators and Congressman, ADVERTISERS of news shows, THE LOCAL DEMOCRAT PARTY HQ, talk radio, and newspapers. If you are a shareholder, call Time-Warner, GE, and Disney. Cancel subscriptions. Sell stock if you can. Make a fuss...a BIG fuss!

We are the broken-glass Republicians, the veterans of the Battle of Florida! Get that fighting spirit back. We are CITIZENS, NOT SPECTATORS!!!

Excellent suggestion!

(Doesn't it bother you that all these intelligent, rational, patriotic, level-headed people are laughing their heads off at your garrulous inanity?)

I have reviewed the thread and can not find those, to whom, you are referring, perhaps you could reference several explicit examples.

[Miss Marple]

Thank you so much for telling President Bush you were a member of the Presidential Prayer Team. I am too, and in a funny way I feel like you represented me...and in fact, all of us. God bless you, and thank you for the report!

[McLynnan]

Absolutely. Her voting constituency must be one unethical, misguided group of whackos. Of course, we have our own shame here in Texas in the person of Sheila Jackson Lee.

[GretchenEE]

when Democrats on the Intelligents Committee admitted they got the briefing from the President so Congress knew also

Your comment reminds me of Everybody Loves Raymond, when Ray does something flaky and Debra accuses him of doing it for a devious reason, and he will say, "No, I'm not that smart."

The dems think one move ahead in their checker game, while Bush and staff are working the chess board.

[McLynnan]

Glad you found Cheney's remarks. I wish I'd caught him on tv. I so love listening to him and his voice calms me for some reason.

[NordP]

Well, ladies & gents it's been fun, again! Thank goodness FR is back up and the Dose was here tonight. GREAT JOB rintense!

See you all tomorrow, NordP

[RoseofTexas]

We shall overcome!! With the Lord on our side, we fear nothing! He will protect and deliver us from the EXCREMENT demonic liberals who want to destory our very being!! GOD IS ON OUR SIDE AND ON W SIDE...don't loose hope. W if you or your staff lurk FR, remember KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON THE LORD AND NOT THE CIRCUMSTANCE, He alone will deliver you!!

[Miss Marple]

I have been on FR for a long time. You are a chronic malcontent, one who derives his sense of self-worth from posing as one who is superior intellectually and ethically to all except a select few.

You have been a chronic Bush-basher from the moment he announced his candidacy. I care not for your supposed intellectual superiority. The President is heading for Mt. Rushmore territory; you are heading for the ash-heap of history.

Now, I wish you would take yourself away, because your posts are taking up space in which others with more inspiring and meaningful opinions could post.

"...the Democrats have come to a gun fight with a knife."

Perfect, on so many levels.

[CyberAnt]

You got it - I'm hot on the trail already - I'm going to make up some flyers and haunt my own neighborhood.

Thanks for your post about your extra special prayer for President Bush. I think we all should remember to ask for God's intervention on his behalf.
It is my own personal opinion that this vicious attack from the left today has all of the fingerprints of Hillary Clinton on it.
This is her MO, and although we may never know the truth, I will always believe she is behind this pushing. I read in Vanity Fair that right after she became a Senator, she went to the DemoRAT leadership and wanted to set up a "war room" to attack Bush.
This woman intends to be President. We must do all we can to make sure that does not happen for the good of our nation!
Not only should we all work on the campaigns ahead, but we who pray should ask God's protection for this country against those who would subvert our freedom.
I fully believe Hillary would if she is given that kind of power.

WOW!! What a great collection of pictures!!

I haven't posted on FR for quite some time - mostly lurked over the last several months. However --due to today's events - I am BACK!!! Sadly--the events of today have energized me and I am ready to come back to FR and be an active poster once again.

Anyway - you have done an absolutely terrific job with these pictures. I was unable to sleep - had a bad day today - not just the Bush-bashing -but that is a lot of it. I came downstairs a little while ago - and logged on to FR, saw this thread and it brightened my spirits.

THANKS!!

Gorgeous photos of Mrs. Bush today! She looks radiant! What a wonderful thing for her to represent our country there.

And I can't believe how beautiful Mrs. Reagan still is. I'm glad she's taking care of herself as well as President Reagan.

Our President Bush is as ever, a joy to behold. No need to worry about the nasty attacks by the Demos. They're losing and they're desperate. All we ALL have to do is VOTE, and the President will have a Congress that isn't putting us all in danger.

Thank you, dear rintense, for all your wonderful work in giving us these photos each night.

Thanks for your motivational speech tonight. I'm late - as usual. Had daughter's band concert tonight.

Will be doing my part this weekend, in this new war that the DEMs have declared on the R party. What a hateful bunch they are. And (as I said on another thread), I'm ready to say they are unAmerican.

[GretchenEE]

Today, the democratic party has no morals and no dignity

They also have a new purpose in life, post-x42: to unearth the bottom of the sewer of politics.

Something happened in me today over this demrat slander. You know we have all put up with egregious cr*p from the dems the last several decades, but something broke in me toward them today. My toleration for their tactics just sort of snapped and I went into a war mentality toward them. Think of it -- they want power so desperately they fight for first position to destroy a president who is helping fight the war against terrorists. Talk about misplaced priorities! This threatens the very security of America when they can lull uncurious voters into thinking Bush tacitly approved bin Laden's attacks. My God in heaven, they are dangerous!

[ladyinred]

Wow Rintense, FR should be down more often! (just kidding!) what a wonderful dose we have tonight! Laura just looks beautiful, she has such pretty blue eyes, and such a sweet and calming demeanor.
Thank you so much for this tonight, we really needed it after such a horrid day!

[terilyn]

I am laughing out loud here! C'mon Rintense, don't hold back, how do you really feel? LOL!

Great job on Radio FR R-intense :o)

Thanks for the great pics!

What part of "we admire and respect the President" can't your limited intellect grasp?
