A DAY (a very spectacular day) IN THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT BUSH (PHOTOS): 11.3.04

It is with profound relief and gratitude to all the volunteers, voters, the Swift Vets for Truth, campaign staff, etc., that I type up today's edition of A Day in the Life of the Re-elected President Bush.

As we now know, Bush received more votes than any previous US president, America saw a record voter turnout, and the US Congress picked up votes to increase the GOP margin in both Houses. Mandate? YES!

Stocks surged Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrials posting a triple-digit gain moments after the opening bell, as investors expressed relief following the election and …victory for President Bush.

Some international reaction: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday said an election victory by President Bush would strengthen the United States and benefit their countries.

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island!!!!! We have successfully defended our beaches and borders, and our Coast Guard is commissioned to maintain its patrols for Four More Years!

the one with a Bible clutched at her breast, said, "Hi, we're here to discuss the world situation....blah..blah..blah"....I looked at her, BEAMED

Those would be Jahovah Witnesses. They don't vote, fight,
salute the flag etc. They are leaches on society.

Here I am again, late to the party. Thanks for the ping and the pics, Gretchen!

**Awwwww, that's such a nice picture of them. The whole time I was watching his speech, I kept thinking "go home and get some sleep". Can you imagine how exhausted he must be?**

I kept thinking when I watched it how relaxed and well the VP looked which is quite remarkable when you consider his schedule over the last few days.

I was pleased that Mary Cheney was there with her partner Heather I may not agree with her lifestyle but she has worked hard during this campaign and deserved to be acknowledged. IMHO I thought it was very astute afterwards that Dick and Lynne walked over to the President and his family afterwards so that GWB did not have to come into contact with Mary though and therefore would not upset evangelicals he did however mention the hard work of the Cheney daughters. I wonder how many others read this that way.

I think it was injured in a car accident.

Ohio:

You told us earlier that President Bush would take Ohio and you didn't let us down. Thanks for all of your hard work in the State of Ohio and to anyone else in any other state that made the re-election of our President and Vice President possible.

Second of all, thanks to each and everyone of the Free Republic members who have posted the Day in the Life of President Bush over the last four years. There have been days I would come home from work and be totally exhausted and depressed on how the press was portraying the upcoming elections and the smear campaign that the Democrats waged against George W. Bush and I would get to this website and feel tranquil once again.

I do have to share some wonderful news with everyone. I volunteered to work on the Bush Cheney reelection. The GOTV in Wisconsin (Waukesha County)was a well coordinated event with tons and tons of volunteers working to get our President reelected. I am happy to report that the turnout in this county was a historic 97.6% of registered voters. We did not carry the State for the President but almost 100% turnout of registered voters is just plain amazing.

Today I am just a very peaceful and thankful person. Although I am just one of many people who worked for get our President and Vice President re-elected, I have a sense of accomplishment and boy it is sure a great feeling.

Thanks to all of you for the past 4 years, and now we have "Four More Years!"

I'm dragging a bit physically today (aren't we all!), but I'm saturated w/happiness that President George W. Bush has been misunderestimated once again!!!!

Today I am just a very peaceful and thankful person

I know what you mean. A month ago, I planned to gloat big time when W won, but today I'm just overwhelmed. Happy, but overwhelmed. The full impact of this great victory won't sink in for a few more days. I mean, Bush beat Kerry by nearly 4 million votes! My faith is renewed in this country.

[DrDeb]

Thank you for your kind comments -- WE ALL MADE AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO THIS HISTORIC VICTORY!

NOW IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE -- ANY IDEAS?!

[Dolly Cali: Did you choose a date for the 'Ohio' lunch?!]

A VERY spectacular day, a glorious day, and I'm so thankful for our President and his wonderful family. I'm barely coherent after two extremely short nights (following Daschle hearing on Mon. night), but I couldn't be happier!

And now some more pictures to add to my collection. Thanks, Gretchen!

[Wolfstar]

Yeah, Chirac sent some suitably French semi-surrender -- ooops, congratulations -- letter to the President saying the usual insincere nonsense about how important the U.S.-Franco relationship is, and how we need to work together to solve the world's problems, yada, yada, yada.

Dubyuh ROCKS...MUD

I sure wish we could have delivered Wisconsin to Bush . . at least my county was 70-30 for Bush!

I wish Minnesota could have been a red state, too. But my county went for the President - we had a 93% turnout in my rural precinct!

[DollyCali]

Thank you for the great thread / pix Gretchen.. What a relief & what a joy .

Last week during play offs ACR reported she was losing her nails (some disease called "playoffs").

Today my fingers were strangely hurting when I woke up. When I looked, I could not believe that my finger nails were GONE. I had obviously been picking, biting (who knows what) and didn't even realize it. I took off SO much that I was into the skin & was bleeding on almost all of them.

I had a 15 + hour of poll watching but did NOT think I was doing that. Was intense. Not sure when. I felt a lot better at the victory vote watch party / get together by the GOP later in evening. Maybe watching MSM caused the nervousness.

Now I didn't have glamor nails by any means.. but they were a nice length & in pretty good shape. Mentioning this to point out that we have all been under a lot of stress seeing our beloved POTUS at the mercy of foreign leaders, Hollyweird, MSM, a vicious opponent, and tasteless flaming libs in general.

Thanks Gretchen. What an honor it must be for you to be the one to post the Victory Dose. It is always wonderful to get the rest of the story through these pictures on the dose. This is truly a great day for rejoicing.

I was in knots yesterday & kept vigil most of the night. Then took off work today to watch all the whining & handwringing by the media.

Praise the Lord and bless you all who post the pic.

Hi Dolly

Great day

[KB4W]

And, yes, it was Hamilton and Clermont counties (my counties) that tallied last and put our Dubya unquestionably over the top!!

thank God for you guys down there! i was biting my nails up here in Stark County...unfortunately it went for sKerry 51%-49%...but i'm glad you guys made the difference!!!! Great Job & Thank you!!!!

i'm SOOOOOO glad after this week we probably won't have to hear the name "John Kerry" anymore...also that monotone voice of his...hopefully his concession speech was the last of it forever.

also- did anyone else think Terrrrazzza looked blitzed this afternoon???

[DrDeb]

You kept your county close, that's what counted!!!!!


My head didn't hit the pillow until 5 AM this morning and I was up again at 7 AM (the President and I were on the same schedule)! TIME FOR BED! Night all!

[SevenofNine]

Rackkkk the Photos and rackkk Dubya reelection it nice to have this classy couple instead American Gigelo John Kerry and Patsy Stone

[DollyCali]

It was a great day.. and I loved seeing Blairs comments in England. first to house & then later.

I think he is a "smashing" man.. he has put on a bit more weight. I was worried about him 2 years ago when he was so thin & looking sickly.

To bed.. I am beat! Night Snugs

[Twinkie]

Gee, handing out Bush/Cheney stuff at the Goat Festival
wasn't so bad after all.
