Today President Bush traveled to West Virginia to attend the annual Congress of Tomorrow Luncheon. There the president spoke about the economy and the need to renew the Protect America Act, which modernizes outdated foreign surveillance laws. The law is set to expire in just seven days.

Our most solemn duty is to protect the American people, and I appreciate the fact that we've worked closely together over the last seven years to do just that. That is our most solemn duty. Fortunately, we've got a lot of good people working hard to help us protect America. And these professionals need the tools they need to do their jobs. (Transcript)

Sylvester Stallone: (speaking to Rush Limbaugh) I represent something, especially to the liberal press. When Ronald Reagan came out and jokingly said, "Rambo is a Republican," the die was cast …

The odd thing is, there's a lot of hope out here, Rush, because the majority of the people who see Rambo are 28 years old to 40, and the people are going to see this movie are the younger generation because they're looking for a representation of what real values are; what it means to be a man. And as Rambo says, "Live for something or die for nothing." (Transcript)
