A day in the life of President Bush (1/21/06): photos

Hi Kate. I'm fine, thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you and yours.

When and where did this take place? I live 20 min. from Nassau County.

There was no date with the pics, but I believe the event was a 9/11 memorial, perhaps on the first anniversary.

HI Wolfstar....I have loved the whole thread so far...but, the story about the basketball team is terrific....

I guess Clinton was too busy in his eight years, huh? LOL

Just behaving in a curmudgeonly fashion then.......

IMO, there are quite a few more important issues to be irritated by...........but maybe that's just me......

I am so pleased that the President is inviting the Texas Western Miners championship basketball team to the WH. How fitting that today's Texas President is making up for a grievous oversight by a previous Texas President -- LBJ.

I loved the movie and I am thrilled to think that the real team will all see the screening with the greatest President of the United States in my lifetime. (And I've had a long life.)

BUMP! great job, Wolfstar, as always!

My hubby is a Civil War artilleryman and I must say, artillerymen all have a rather off-beat sense of humor. A bit quirky and down right odd. (I guess that's why I find mine so interesting.) But they are definitely not always civil, gentlemen always, but not always civil. (Never invite them to high tea.) ;)

So....where can we get one of these? :o)

IIRC, it was even before the 1st anniversary. It was at the annual remembrance of fallen firefighters......maybe in the spring of 2002?

(I might be able to find out, if you'd like).

WOW--great photo finds in #26.

They are great photos.

BTW, it was easier to find those historic photos than to find a pic of Carrie with Jeff Gordon. Sigh. If there's one anywhere on the web, I sure can't locate it.

[Wolfstar]

Hi Emily. How are you this evening?

[Wolfstar]

Glad you are enjoying them, Meg.

[luvie]

Great pictures. So many showing how much this President can relate to people from all walks of life without seeming to be condecending. He is just a people-person!

Wonderful job tonight - thanks so much!

[Wolfstar]

...but, the story about the basketball team is terrific...

I'm SO glad you commented on it. I love that story and just wish the reporter had gone the extra step to let us know why the team never made it to the WH back in 1966.

Isn't it just like our Dubya -- or maybe it was Laura -- to bring them to the WH nearly 40 years later. I hope we get some good pics of the event.

I am waiting for the first dem idiot to complain that President Bush is "using" the basketball team for political gain....sigh

[silent_jonny]

some idiot insisted on lecturing me about not using the pronouns you and yours.

Don't you love being lectured to? :)

You made me curious, so I looked up the thread you were talking about. The "lecturer" was a real prize, wasn't he? :)

[Wolfstar]

As I told Txsleuth, I'm delighted someone commented on that story. I think it's heartwarming and am looking foward to seeing photos if the WH releases any. Does anyone know why LBJ didn't invite them to the WH back in 1966?

Oh without a doubt and you may be assured that in every likelihood I am already irritated about them also! ;-)

No YOU are a prize, the lecturer was the booby-prize.
