This morning, President Bush, joined by firefighters and police officers, emergency personnel and local public officials, addressed members of Congress in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Office Buiding at the White House on the subject of the Homeland Security Department, stressing the need for managerial flexibility as a key to it's success. This afternoon in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, he honored the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, calling on Congress to fund his New Freedom Initiative budget requests.

Last night House and Senate negotiators agreed on a bill that would give President Bush fast tracked trade promotion authority, and this afternoon, he made a trip to Capitol Hill to thank them, and to urge House Republicans to back the bill. Enjoy your Daily Dose of Dubya!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: This administration is working with Congress to forge a bipartisan bill, and I want to appreciate the members of both parties for coming this morning. I believe we're making good progress. And of course, being the modest fellow that I am, I'm willing to recognize a good idea even if it comes from Congress. (Laughter) Yet, it's important to understand this: I'm not going to accept legislation that limits or weakens the President's well-established authorities--authorities to exempt parts of government from federal labor management relations statute---when it serves our national interest.

[marylina]

The BOSS holding the umbrella for a casted Rummy!

[McGavin999]

Good job ohioWfan, these are great pictures. I love the one where he's leaning forward on the podium. I watched the speech this morning and when he got to that part his voice got very hard. Everyone in that room knew that he means business.

[lonestar]

You're doing a great job!

One exception--

Where's Barney?

From the speech on the Americans with Disabilities Act

Signing the bill:

[Bahbah]

I feel compelled to echo those who say you are doing great. And by the way, the man to the left of GW has a great smile.

[samantha]

Good Job!!! Great Pics!!!

[MJY1288]

Great job OWF, Thanks for posting the "Dose"

[ohioWfan]

And last, but not least.....on Capitol Hill this afternoon:

As a music teacher, I'd say this is a very good German umlaut!

More pics addressing the media........ I tell ya, this man wants to be on Broadway!!

[ohioWfan]

One more.......that's Andrew Card, Don Evans and Legislative Affairs Director Nick Calio with the President.

WHEW, I'm DONE!!!!! THAT'S WORK!!!

[McLynnan]

You are a whiz at this! This is your Kodak moment. I am very impressed and proud of you. Not going to snicker even one time. Barbara would be pleased to see W's good manners with Rummy.

[swheats]

Bush's drought relief is still working, I see. You're a great pinchhitter Ohio.

[ohioWfan]

Thank you! You were first, you know!

[mombonn]

Thanks for standing in for rintinse.

#10 - you gotta love a president who carries his own umbrella, unlike a certain IMPEACHED ex-president who comes to mind.

[TruthNtegrity]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALNICK!

[marylina]

Last pic, post 17, there's our SS Guy, to Ari's left! I always feel good when I see him near Dubya....

[MJY1288]

****Three Cheers for ohioWfan****

[olliemb]

Good job, ohio, and thanks for the pics.

[TruthNtegrity]

Mtngrl asked me to post the Birthday wishes for alnick!

Happy Birthday to our Birthday "Alnick".

[kitkat]

YEA ohio!!!!!!!!! You done good. In fact, you done GREAT! Now, what were you worried about? Didn't we all tell you there was nothing to fear? Hmmmm?

[samantha]

Number nine looks like Dubya's getting ready to give a head squeeze to an imaginary Tom Daschle. Did anyone see the Letter that Mark Foley (my congress critter) wrote to all the alphabet network clymers about smoking gun on Rubin, and imploring them to cover it?

[ohioWfan]

Thank you all, kindly!

I wanna tell you, I worked at this all day long! I will never take rintense for granted ever again!!

A Day without a Dose is like a day without sunshine, or green grass, or refreshing rain, or blue skies with fluffy clouds!!

[marylina]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, alnick!

[MJY1288]

She must have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night :-)

[swheats]

Considering the bad press in the last week or two, I find it simply amazing the President getting many of his Legislative agenda accomplished within 24 hours.

Oh me of little faith.

[McLynnan]

You deserve an award.

[ohioWfan]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALNICK!!!

Thanks, TruthNtegrity!!

[MJY1288]

Do you have a copy of Mark Foley's letter? If so, would you mind posting it, I would love to read it :-)

[Miss Marple]

Oh, good show! Excellent work! Thanks!

I love the picture with the President holding the umbrella for Rummy. It is an unconcsious demonstration of his humility and his respect for others who serve in his administration.

I do wish we could get Tom Ridge to not look so dour.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Ohio - Ya Done Good!!!!! BRAVO!

Alnick - Happy Birthday to YOU!

Mtngrl - thanks for the always faithful Birthday posts and how was the Fresno Freep today?

I wanna tell you, I worked at this all day long! I will never take rintense for granted ever again!!

I just knew you'd take this responsibility very seriously; you are extremely conscientious and hard-working, and that's why you are so loved here at FR, and more specifically, the Dose! Thanks, ohio.

[ohioWfan]

I wasn't worried, kitkat! I knew I wouldn't be able to hear the snickers going on all around the country, anyway! hehe

(But thanks for the encouragement, friend!)

[Freee-dame]

Thanks for posting today's dose. Good job.

[maica]

He our (SS guy) must feel a little nervous when he has to be that far away from the president. He prefers to stand Immediately at the President's back.

[alnick]

You're both doing a great job of pinch hitting for Rintense and Mtngirl. Thanks for the birthday greeting TruthNtegrity. :-)

[ohioWfan]

Aw, shucks, guys, it was my pleasure!!

Holiday Express!! LOL!!

[altura]

Thank you ohioWfan, for filling in and doing a great job.

Now that you've breathed a sigh of relief and announced that this is work, we should all appreciate rintense even more since she does it every day.

[marylina]

He our (SS guy) must feel a little nervous when he has to be that far away from the president. He prefers to stand Immediately at the President's back.

I've noticed that! He seems to like to be close enough to dive in front of our Dubya, if he had to. Very intense, dedicated man.

[kitkat]

Do you think we scared her? She DOES work well under pressure, doesn't she?

Hey, ohio, Eric would be proud of you.

[ohioWfan]

Thanks, Miss Marple! I still think we should write to MRS. Ridge, so she can give him some gentle hints........like SMILE, you big dummy!!

FWI, three posts! How kind of you! :o)
