Pres. Bush traveled to St. Louis to promote his "No Child Left Behind" education law. Pres. Bush spoke at the Pierre Laclede Elementary School, which he said in his Saturday radio address had risen "to meet our new standards."

Pres. Bush also visited with about 50 fourth-graders. One asked Pres. Bush if he had wanted to be president when he was a child.

"No," Bush told the children, all nearly a decade shy of voting age. "It can be pretty hard." Still, he called his job "a very rewarding experience" and took credit for "a world that's more peaceful, (where) more kids are learning to read."

He also appeared at his first campaign fund-raiser of the year, adding to a record total of more than $110 million in contributions for a primary race in which he has no Republican opponent. Pres. Bush now has $120 Million in his campaign bank account.

On Thursday, the second anniversary of the signing of the No Child Left Behind Act, Pres. Bush will hold a similar event at West View Elementary School in Knoxville, Tenn. Both events are paired with re-election campaign fund-raisers.

"I'm here to congratulate this school and hold you up for the nation to see what is possible when you raise the bar, when you're not afraid to hold people to account, when you empower your teachers and your principals to achieve the objective we all want - that's to make sure no child, not one single child in America, is left behind. We can have excellence in every single classroom across this country."

"(The) federal government's a source of money. It's now a source of inspiration. It's a source of measurement. But it's up to the local people to really make it work."

Will tomorrow's version show Bush with Vincente Fox, discussing the new Mexican Social Security field office and bouncing around the idea of patriating millions of mexican illegal aliens to the United States?

I have been rating some of these photos on a site. It has been interesting to see how President Bush and the dems are rated.

This thread shows what the President does EVERY day.

I've heard the number that will be offered amnesty will be 500,000 .. not millions as some people are trying to say.

The President uses SUVs! He can ride in mine ANY time (if it's ok w/Laura). LOL

I hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy Year.

Here's hoping it's a great one with many reasons to be joyful and happy.

Fan alert! That is one good looking man there. My favorite suit--blue shirt, red tie, dark jacket. MMMMMMMM

[TruthNtegrity]

Does your SUB have doors that drop down - 90 degrees from the side of the SUV, so that the Secret Service guys can stand on them, and shoot, if necessary?

I didn't think so.

Those aren't standard issue SUV's, trust me.

[homemom]

I'm here tonight and hope you are too! How's the knee? How's being back to work? Hope you are well.
