Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin. President Yeltsin was an historic figure who served his country during a time of momentous change. He played a key role as the Soviet Union dissolved, helped lay the foundations of freedom in Russia, and became the first democratically elected leader in that country's history. I appreciate the efforts that President Yeltsin made to build a strong relationship between Russia and the United States. We offer our sincerest condolences to the Yeltsin family and to the Russian people.

By the facial expressions of President Bush and Peruvian President Alan Garcia, it's a sure bet
Yes, they are -— wonderful photos too.
President Bush really enjoyed his visit with the CHAMPION COLTS’ team. I loved reading the transcript and I posted the link to it.
My pleasure, snugs -— glad I was able to sub for you.
...drug costs are less than anticipated, and the cost to the taxpayer is about $200 billion less than anticipated.”

And the driveby media will do their best never to mention these facts!
ME TOO!!!
You’ve said all there is to say.
I think our Dose is the only SANITY on the whole of FR.
You’re welcome and please read the transcirpt -— there’s also a video if you go to the White House page which is linked at the top as the source.
Just another routine day for the President!
Meet with the NFL Champions, meet with the President of Peru, meet with officials in the Cabinet Room, answer reporters’ questions....
I was quite shocked as it must be several years since we had a power cut lasting more than about 5 minutes.
Thanks for the Dose, Onyx :)
I echo your comments.
Y’all on this thread everyday are truly my cherished FRiends.
God bless you all and God Bless our Cowboy and First Lady.
In fact, God Bless his administration and of course, our brave troops!!!
I believe you’re right. And our President is the balm to heal the wounds.
