This morning, President Bush announced from the Oval Office at the White House, the resignation of long time friend, and 5 year Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, and the appointment of Josh Bolten, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, to that position. Later, following a Cabinet Meeting, the President made a statement in the Rose Garden, surrounded by Cabinet members, about the progress in the government of Iraq, and the commitment of his administration to work with their counterparts in Iraq in the future.
In news of significance to all conservatives, both Lyn Nofziger (81), Reagan press secretary, and Caspar Weinberger (88), Reagan's Secretary of Defense, died in the past 24 hours. Both men served with distinction and will be missed.
Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose!
I'M AWED BY YOUR EXTRAORDINARY TALENT!
[I want a copy of this picture . . . pretty please!]
"Mr. President, as a Chief of Staff, I know I was a staffer, and now I look forward to being your friend. Thank you, Mr. President"
I loved this comment as well!! [I think it reflects the attitude of MANY Dosers toward our President and Vice President!]
They are SO obsessed that they are becoming a caricature. In fact..........I am reminded of this cartoon from four years ago........and they have only gotten worse.....
I know some people are so ungreatful and do not appreciate what others do.
Did I tell you that to get more affordable tickets, we flew out of Pittsburg to NEWARK and then to CA??
I saw the Atlantic and Pacific on the same day. NYC and San Diego, and everything in between!
I LOVE this country!
Hee-hee...I'll bet it could be Googled. It would be very interesting and then to tell...the rest of the story. That is, how the stories backfired on the DIMs! :o)
Prayers are on there way tonight kit for your kids.....
You are SO right, ilovew.
But I have the feeling that the President's thanks were all he ever needed..........and he got that for sure.
That is some beautiful scenery there, though!
LOL! Yes, of course, you can call me "Ohio." It means "beautiful".........a REALLY BIG LOL!
Prayers on their way!
Here is a nice little $4 million + home in that neighborhood.
(I think their approval numbers are near the teens).
Would I have walked by that little cottage on the ocean side of the point? Some pretty impressive little homes there........
I hope you enjoy the book altura; everyone I've talked with who have read it thought it was extraordinary. I heard the young man who wrote the book on C-Span and he's an inspiration and readily admits that parts of the book are autobiographical.

Citizenship: The Precious Legacy
March 28th, 2006
The problem posed by the presence of millions of illegal aliens in our midst has no easy and immediately practical solution. Sweeping rhetoric from advocates of one clean-cut position or another may sound satisfying, but would cause chaos in practice. De facto open borders or mass expulsion, if ever were attempted, would be disasters. When being practical, we tend to focus on immediate practical issues like border security, drivers licenses and insurance, and the payment of income and Social Security taxes

DJ DRUMMOND offers yet another BRILLIANT analysis at Polipundit . . .
Immigration - The Focus
Well, it’s a slow season in an election year, which always seems to bring out the Whiners. Sure enough, the Immigration issue has come up again, which is reasonable, but has brought along with it a raucous caucus of panic peddlers and People Insanely Selfish & Stubborn. Nowhere is this more obvious than when the issue is soberly discussed.
In the main, people in the United States are agreed that as a nation of immigrants, we have a responsibility to accept the people who wish to come here, following reasonable conditions. Obviously, the laws and written and the actions practiced by the U.S. Government are inappropriate to the present need, for which a reform and repair is badly needed. To my mind, the mindless attacks from both Left and Right against president George W. Bush only prove once again how thin his support can be, even when he proves his credentials over and over again. Such frivolous desertion of the President by so many so-called ‘republicans’ is why I fear the Democrats could one day retake Congress and the White House.
George W. Bush, for the record, is not only eminently sane in his perspective, but as a former Governor of Texas, he certainly knows about the border problems and is acutely interested in finding a serious and permanent solution. For that matter, Ronald W. Reagan was a former Governor of California, and like Bush well aware of the border situation and intent on resolving it. The brayers against Bush might do well to notice that Reagan’s record on Immigration Reform, even in terms of programs submitted to Congress, was not especially better than Bush’s; in fact, I would go so far as to say Bush has tried harder on that front.
It needs to be understood that there are multiple forces at work. On one end is the White House, which must balance the noise from the Justice, Labor, DHS, State and other Departments, and on the other end are the Federal courts, which have a history of wreaking havoc on attempts to reform laws.
The other two major groups are the House and Senate, which is bad enough, but even then they are split into many sub-groups, including new members versus veterans, those coming up for re-election, border states versus high-demand labor states, and you get the idea. It’s easier to wrestle a pit full of pythons than get a comprehensive immigration reform bill through Congress, to say nothing of what the final product would look like.
Frankly, Bush is doing as well as any sane person can expect, with strong increases in budget and numbers for the Border Patrol, Customs, and border-defense. The problem of compliance with the existing law is on another order entirely, and while some have wrongly claimed that Bush is ignoring these aspects of the problem, it will have to be addressed separately. Those morons who think we can simply round up the illegals already in the country have obviously not considered their response to any number of past initiatives, to say nothing of the complications in trying to find and remove more than ten million of any type of person who does not wish to be found. God grant we put saner heads in charge of future discussions than what gets printed in the papers now.
[ next - border security ]

INTERESTING . . .
The pro-privacy party?
Democrat Congressman McDermott was just found by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to have violated Republican Congressman Boehner’s privacy rights when he disclosed the illegally tapped phone call between Boehner and Gingrich. A few days ago, Democrat Senator Schumer’s aide pled guilty to violating the privacy act rights of Maryland Republican Lt.Governor Steele . Now, how’s that going to square with the Democrat party’s bleats about the privacy rights of Hussein Al Qaeda and the nasty NSA? Clarice Feldman 3 28 06

I'd forgotten about her, kitkat. My nieces and I watched Pride and Prejudice and it's made me want to re-read that book as well.
***Keeping your son and daughter in my prayers. But I'm glad things are looking cautiously good.****
I'm not sure how cautious. I'm a wreck. Thank you for your prayers. It's amazing how it sustains me.
You'd think they'd get smart eventually, but no......they just keep right on digging. I'm beginning to think that you have to be missing a few brain cells to even become a liberal......
I love you, DrDeb.
