First of all my apologies for being so late to post the monthly Sanity Island. I got started late and and that put me behind
It’s almost 11 month since President Bush has left office. There goes no day by that I wished he were still in the White House. No matter though he is still my President and will always be as long as I live.
Today I will post photos from December 2001 and 2002, and tomorrow from 2003 and 2004
For the quote of the day I have chosen the address President Bush gave to the Marines at Camp Pendelton on December 4, 2004. I will only post the first two paragraphs and will post the link to the entire address
Addressing the media, President George W. Bush meets with Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik in the Oval Office of the White House, December 5, 2001. "We won't forget what took place," said President Bush, referring to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "And we will bring them to justice." White House photo by Paul Morse.

What a difference 11 months makes. I miss having a president who didn’t use the troops as a backdrop for his photo ops. Bush’s domestic agenda left much to be desired, especially in the second term, but you always got the feeling he cared about our military. Nov 2010 can’t get here soon enough. I think they’ll be a lot of surprised libs when they see how many seats they lose.
Sigh.....
Miss ya Dubya.
We can make it through this. Look what you had to put up with. I think we can survive and prevail.
President George W. Bush salutes during his remarks at the USS Enterprise Dec. 7. "I'm grateful for this warm welcome on the deck of the "Big E," said the President. "America is proud of this fine carrier and we're really proud of her crew. You're serving at a crucial moment for the cause of peace and freedom, and your country thanks you."White House photo by Paul Morse
I want a “I Miss W” bumper sticker too. Jeff, can you make one?

Now you have "A Barry Christmas"
Sorry for the double post.
"There have been bake sales and there have been lemonade stands; and there are empty piggy banks and there have been all kinds of drives to raise money for the Afghan children," said President George W. Bush at the Church of the Brethren Warehouse New Windsor, Maryland Dec. 8. Children from across the country donated their efforts and dollars to buy clothing, toys, school and other supplies.

I’m sorry that I did not wait for the “All Clear.”
I guess I just had to say, “THANK YOU!” pretty badly there. :-)
Ahhhhhhhhh. Thank You.
I was getting a little crispy around the edges. This came just in time.
Thanks Kaslin!
"Tonight, for the first time in American history, the Hanukkah menorah will be lit at the White House residence," said President George W. Bush at the ceremony in which 8-year-old Talia Lefkowitz helps lit the menorah Dec. 10. White House photo by Eric Draper.
IN a year went to hell in a hand basket.
