President George W. Bush addresses the press during a meeting about medicare in the Roosevelt Room April 23, 2007. "It took a monumental effort by a lot of citizens around the country to make the options that our seniors were given easy to understand," said President Bush. "In other words, we reformed Medicare and gave seniors a lot of choices, and it took a lot of loving Americans a lot of time to make these choices available for our senior citizens. Now that the plan is in place, 39 million have signed up for it, drug costs are less than anticipated, and the cost to the taxpayer is about $200 billion less than anticipated."

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.
It was quite a shock as I had just put the oven on and turn the slow cooker up ready to dish my dinner out and suddenly we were plunged into darkness.
As I am an all electric house I did not have any heat either so I was very pleased that my friend collected me and I could take my dinner round to his place.
LOL — I thought it a sure bet too. :0)
Thanks for filling in for snugs tonight, onyx!
You've done a yeoman's job and I, for one, am grateful!
Jonny’s got another toaster......YEAH!
Of course not -— NO GOOD NEWS is ever reported!
Hey look, don’t miss the COLT’s day at the WHITE HOUSE!
Yep, another busy day for him.
I adore our POTUS!!!!
The pics would be better if daBears were in them!....still holding a grudge...at least for Jonathan...lol
Good job on Gonzales. Backing down and backing away are only done as last resorts or as strategy to resume the offense. For President Bush audacity is proof of authenticity but few are willing to recognize that.
That must have given you quite a scare.
Thanks for the Dose onyx.
Go Colts! Go W!
LOL -— maybe he saw the photos of himself in glasses that were posted yesterday....lol.
I loved it too and I really like the photos with his #43 team jersey.
Sometimes I wish we could take this thread somewhere else..........
I think his visit with the Colts truly brightened his day.
