A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos)

President Bush had a very busy day today, meeting with Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings and First Lady Laura Bush, to discuss the educational needs of children displaced by Hurricane Katrina and how states might be able to absorb the cost of the large numbers of new students. He also met with the Cabinet to discuss the recovery efforts following the hurricane, and reuniting family members with each other, healthcare provision and finances.

At noon, the President met with representatives from national voluntary organizations to discuss how best to help the Americans who are evacuees from the hurricane. He pledged a full investigation into the response to the hurricane.

The President and First Lady also paid their respects to the late Chief Justice of the United States, William Rehnquist, spending a few moments bowing their heads at his casket.

Continue to pray for the President and the people in the ravaged Gulf Coast region, and enjoy this island of refuge from the blind attacks against our GOOD President on the Daily Dose!

Thanks, snugs.

I'm amazed that Gen. Myers is still on active duty. Usually they have "terminal leave" - more accrued leave than they will get paid for, so the serviceperson usually disappears well before their "final" retirement date.

I suspect that Gen. Myers is just foregoing the pay that he would get for those hours, and staying around to do his job until his replacement has been voted on (Gen. Pace) in Congress.

Whatta guy, whatta guy.

Thanks for the pic of two of my heroes: Gen. Myers and Rummy.

BTW, I'm exhausted. Been helping loading up vehciles for acaravan of vehicles taking all sorts of supplies and goodies to a drop-off point that they've coordinated with various Churches on the East side of the Katrinia area.

Since our grocery stores and Wal-Mart are out of most supplies and since the trucks (heading to grocery store, to Wal-Mart) can't get here due to the lack of gasoline in the panhandle of FL, we were asked to "shop" our cupboards, so all this is being sent over has been donated out of people's homes.

Thanks for your comments .. it helps to know others have had to make that tough decision. I too feel that I did the right thing. While my mom is having some difficulty with depression, they started her on some new medication yesterday and I'm hoping that will help.

I cannot bring myself to ever question the strong bond our two nations have. I would bet that Tony Blair called President Bush and said whatever you need just ask, and then listed the ways he could help, and President Bush knows quite well the loyal friend we have in Great Brittan
