President Bush met today with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in the Oval Office today, commending the Prime Minister for the stability he's brought to the Italian government and to applaud Italy's recent success with the Winter Olympic Games.

This afternoon, President and First Lady Laura Bush left the White House and boarded Air Force One for a five day trip to India and Pakistan, where the President will discuss nuclear proliferation in the two countries and seek to ease tensions between them. PRAY for our First Couple.......for the success of this trip, and for their safety!

Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose!

Quote of the Day: PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: (As translated.) Thank you very much, Mr. President, for your words of appreciation which gave me a lot of satisfaction. On my behalf I have to say that coming here and meeting the leader of a friendly country is the reason for me to go along the path that we decided to follow. It makes me firm in that.

The consensus and agreements which we always have stems from the fact that we share the same values. We both believe the problem affecting the world is to spread democracy. Because only through democracy there can be freedom, and only through freedom can human beings give the best of themselves.

Therefore, I think we can say that we're lucky because the biggest democracy of the world has such a leader who sees problems affecting the world so clearly and proceeds and follows so firmly in this direction. President Bush and the American people have found a firm and sound ally in my government.

........snip.......

Q Mr. President, since you're the final arbiter of the Dubai Ports deal, are you still inclined to approve it? And do you stand by your veto threat?

PRESIDENT BUSH: My position hasn't changed to my message to the Congress. And I appreciate the fact that the companies concerned have asked the Congress for a review of all the security implications.

Let me just make something clear to the American people. If there was any doubt in my mind, or people in my administration's mind that our ports would be less secure and the American people endangered, this deal wouldn't go forward.

Aloha, ohio. Thank you for today.

[ohioWfan]

Leaving the Oval Office with trusted friend and advisor, Karl Rove......

[Miss Marple]

Grrrr. I thought FINALLY I had won! LOL!

[ohioWfan]

And leaving the White House with his beloved First Lady........

Boarding Marine One......

[Para-Ord.45]

Gotta like those Italian suits.

[ohioWfan]

Arriving at Andrews Air Force Base.......... (and looking mighty good, I might add......)

Waving from Air Force One.....

Godspeed, President and Mrs. Bush! Our prayers are with you!

"PROUD Mom of an Iraq War VET! THANKS, son!!!"

Indeed, thanks to him, and also to you and your family. It can't be said enough how much you all sacrifice in terms of time separated, worry, stress, etc.

A couple of cute ones that popped up from yesterday's Governor's luncheon.......

And I thought I should add this one from India...........

Good evening thanks for the dose

[ohioWfan]

Hey........Number ONE, onyx! Congrats!

[ohioWfan]

Hi, Miss Marple. Second by 25 seconds!

[ohioWfan]

Aloha?? Are we in Hawaii??

[Right_in_Virginia]

Great photos...and great tag line ;-)

[Kate of Spice Island]

Howdy!

[ohioWfan]

Nicely dressed, I'd say.

[onyx]

I'm surprised! I had just clicked away from that "other thread" and saw the DOSE.

I'd be happy to share my toaster with Miss Marple. I am hoping to have First Lady Laura and Pope Benedict XVI on it.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Laura's hair always looks so very nice.

[Miss Marple]

Oh, you don't need to share. Congratulations!

Good choice on the toaster cover.

[ohioWfan]

Thank you, sir! I'll convey your thanks to him, and to the rest of my family.

The President is right when he talks of the sacrifice of the whole family. It's hard to have your little or big brother at war, too......

[ohioWfan]

OH, I forgot........ALL CLEAR!! Post to your hearts' delight now. :)

[ohioWfan]

You're most welcome, snugs! You know that it is a labor of love. :)

[ohioWfan]

Thanks, Right! It's been three years since my baby went to Iraq! Still proud as a peacock! :)

[snugs]

Great series of photos

[ohioWfan]

Howdy right back atcha, Kate!

[Txsleuth]

Hi....this is the ONLY thread that is safe anymore! LOL

[ohioWfan]

It does, doesn't it? I like the way she's having it cut these days.

[ohioWfan]

Lunatics out there, Tx! Welcome to the refuge! :)

[Txsleuth]

What did you think of the blurb on C-span today, that said that Financial Times...took the 1st poll of the military in Iraq...and that a majority favor a speedy withdrawal from Iraq???

[the rightgirl]

Great shots! They are such a fabulous looking couple!!!!!

[ohioWfan]

Didn't see/read it. What are the details?

[ohioWfan]

A better looking couple has never occupied the White House.

(Those Kennedy guys weren't even CLOSE!)

[snugs]

They are the real thing not the media thing

[snugs]

Congratulations

[mystery-ak]

A must read.... The betrayal of America

[onyx]

I love it! Already posted on my page! Thank you, sweet snugs!

[ohioWfan]

Indeed. The Kennedy's were a sham........a facade.........a couple of phonies.

These are real people, and this is real love.

And I thank GOD for these two!

[the rightgirl]

Amen to that - the Kennedy's weren't physically as good looking for sure - I never saw the attraction in either, although I do think she was elegant and graceful.

But also, they didn't have the love these two show. George and Laura's love is their garment and it enhances their physical beauty and makes each of them, when together, gorgeous.

[snugs]

Here is a much better photo on the White House Website of the VP addressing the American legion

[ohioWfan]

You are absolutely right, rightgirl............they are gorgeous!

But it is, as you say, a beauty that comes from within as well as without, and is missed by those whose hearts are filled with hatred.......even those calling themselves 'conservatives.'

God bless our First Couple and keep them safe as they travel............and help them have a GOOD time together too! :)

[ThePythonicCow]

those Italian suits

I presume you aren't thinking of Karl Rove here <grin>?

[the rightgirl]

May prayers for their safe travel abound and may their beautiful love continue through their journey.
