President Bush returned to the White House today (presumably from Camp David). He was accompanied by Secretary of State Rice. First Lady Laura Bush made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan on Sunday with an appeal to the international community not to abandon the war-torn country in the face of resurgent Taliban violence.
President and Mrs. Bush Saddened by Death of Jim McKay
Laura and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Jim McKay. For a generation of Americans, Jim was more than the much-honored host of Wide World of Sports and ABC's Olympic coverage. He was a talented and eloquent newsman and storyteller whose special gift was his ability to make the viewers at home genuinely care about more than just who won or lost.
Jim was at his best during what had to be his most difficult assignment, hosting with skill and sensitivity ABC's blanket coverage of the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis.
Off camera he was a compassionate and generous person and devoted family man.
We are also grateful for Jim's service to his country as a Naval officer aboard a minesweeper during World War II.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim's wife, Margaret, his children Sean and Mary, and all of his family and friends.
Good afternoon! Great photos
I like it!
Very nice pictures. It makes me so angry to hear the libs bad-mouth our efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Without our presence, women in Afghanistan would not be working, women would not be in school, and they sure as heck wouldn’t be showing their faces in public.
What do the Dims do besides complain? What? What good do they do in the world?
Well then I can understand that...Laura or Tipper and Laura or Taraza...no contest there. And I can guess who you will vote for in November...
Great photo’s, thanks for posting them.
Yes, that color green is luscious. I went with a green font today because of it. My green does not come close to matching her green, though.
The Dims will be crushed if they have to go to Arizona. Last year, in August, McCain hiked the Grand Canyon.
They are hoping Obama will get elected and go to Martha's vineyard, maybe the Kennedy compound. If not there, then the Caribbean where he recently vacationed.
Hi Kas, Laura goes to Slovena next. Isn’t that where the Beast had to dodge sniper fire?
You’re welcome and thanks for the post and thread bump.
Grand Caynon is not bad I just want see Senator McCain mess with MSN media have go to AZ in dead of August LOL!
Good points all. The Afghani women have come a long way.
***That is a gorgeous color green. ***
I was thinking the same thing. I WANT A SUIT THAT EXACT COLOR!
On my monitor it looks like cool mint green.
I had not thought about that maybe McCain does not spend summer there because of the heat though maybe he goes somewhere cooler. Any Arizona freepers know ?
I see my question has been answered and now you mention the Grand Canyon I remember that.
No that was Bosnia.
I want to appreciate every day we have left having President Bush and Laura in our White House. It may never be the same again.
Thank you.
Thank you for the Dose, Daisy :)
She would not stoop so low as to touch the walking virus incubator.
