QUOTE OF THE DAY
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Whatever successes this administration has had in combating global poverty, Colin Powell gets a lot of credit. (Applause.) I will spend some time talking about our responsibility as government to address global poverty. It's a responsibility we take seriously, and it's a responsibility that Colin Powell carried out in his distinguished tenure as the Secretary of State of our country. I want to thank you for being a friend, and thank you for your service to the country. He's a good man. (Applause.)

Thank you all for allowing me to come by to speak. I appreciate the co-founders and the leaders of the Global Development effort. I want to thank you for having this summit. Thank you for being what I call social entrepreneurs, people who care about the plight of other people.

The facts are these: Across the globe, more than a billion people live on less than a dollar a day. That should be a troubling statistic to all Americans. They lead lives of hunger, they lead lives of desperation. Every day is a struggle just to survive. That struggle ought to inspire us here in America. It's inspired you. It ought to inspire all our citizens.

I want to thank you for lending your expertise and your funds to address problems alongside your government. Colin said, you know, this is not a governmental effort, it's not a business effort, it's not an NGO effort, it's a combined effort by a lot of compassionate hearts to address a significant problem. And so I'm here to thank you for your commitment, and to let you know we're pleased to stand with you.

[SnarlinCubBear]

Looks like matching canes. Perhaps they both belong to Byrd.

Notice the blue/white seersucker suits. I read earlier that Trent Lott designated this as seersucker Thursday. Go figure.
