A day in the life of President Bush (photos): 5/1/03

President Bush and First Lady Laura began the day in a ceremony honoring the National Day of Prayer. Bush then headed to San Diego where he co-piloted a Navy Viking jet and landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln, a truly historic moment for American Presidents and our country. The President then spoke to the nation saying that major combat operations in Iraq are over. Bush also took the opportunity to once again thank the men and women of our military. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

This was a fantastic day for a real Commander-in-Chief. The troops obviously adore him as much as we do.

[hoosierpearl]

Gretchen, I hadn't noticed your tag line before, but it is great. Especially after all the events in Iraq.


I'm not very good at graphics, but can I second yours? It is great, and I want to wish Wphile a wonderful birthday.

Happy Birthday Wphile

[lawgirl]

ROFL I love the secret message.

And I will never see a flashlight in the same light again.............**faint**

[Maigrey]

My step-mom respects Dubya, and so does my Father. But I still have to explain things to her, and who certain people are.

She's part of the Salt-of-the-Earth type of person.

I was wondering when you were going to get up off the floor. That childlike demeanor seems to have returned to our awesome President. It does me good to see him laughing and having a good time. It makes me realize things are going well since he doesn't seem so stressed.

I kinda have a feeling he secured himself more than 5500 votes today. This guy is so lovable and so respectable. He's got my vote, and if I was a lying cheating democrat, I'd vote for him 100 times.

[hoosiermama]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
and many more!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Boy, do I love this president!

Mega dittos!!

[Maigrey]

(In mutter whispers) I hope there was a pillow underneath her. She really could hurt the floor fainting so much.....

[patriciaruth]

You light up our lives! Always fun to see you posting.

[azGOPgal]

Today was a great day for all involved. I have a feeling that Dubya probably looked to be having the most fun. He seriously was a kid in a candy store today.

[Maigrey]

When he stepped onto the flight deck, he looked like a a kid in the candy store for the first time, and had $1000 to spend just there. He was "giddy as a schoolboy."

Maybe it was the blood going to his head when he was doing maneuvers in the jet. Maybe that's why he looks so goofy!

Maigrey walks over and pokes lawgirl
Hey, Lawgirl, wake up. There are more pictures for you to faint over.

[lawgirl]

I was thinking about that quote earlier today when I was posting to another thread about all the great speeches and moments W has given us.

Patriciaruth-Yeah I am here! I was over at my folks' house and had to make a polite retreat- I was dying to get to the dose but I didnt' want to be rude and say "well the president's speech is over, so I am out of here." LOL!

My dad, a Vietnam vet, got teary eyed at the end of the speech when W was talking about those that died and was getting teary himself- W gets it and my dad knows it. And my dad is not one to shed a tear lightly.

[justshe]

What an incredible story. I love God's perverse sense of humor!

Actually, the potassium will help with energy levels. I went on the Atkins diet Feb 2002 and lost 35 pounds and have kept it off. I got pretty tired several months ago and did some research about the diet and discovered that I needed to add the potassium, worked like a charm.

I just got all my rings sized down. I was afraid to do it any sooner, cause I just didn't believe that I'd be able to keep it off. Never have before!

Now, my hubby, on the other hand, only lost 10 pounds and stopped dead. After several months, he gave up out of sheer frustration. I think that maybe there are some people that the program just won't work for. It really depends on how you gained the extra weight in the first place.

I say, give the calcium a good shot and keep at it. Good Luck!

P.S. If you need a fabulous recipe for low-carb pudding, let me know. I have one that gets me through those sweet cravings!

I left work early so I could tape the landing on the Lincoln, I thought that would be the highlight, but the images of our Commander-in-Chief with the sailors on that Carrier were nothing short of amazing. Nobody could of scripted this today, we saw George W. Bush at home with the people he LOVES, We saw George W. Bush with the people he admires. This wasn't a Ra Ra speech for the troops, it was a homecoming and a day that belongs to our President and he deserves it.

[Brad's Gramma]

Yet another masterpiece!

Thank you, John!!!

[azGOPgal]

Aww. That's so sweet of you. I just type what I'm thinking, and think what I'm feeling.

[okstatemom]

I'd like the recipe, if you are willing to share it.

[olliemb]

Damn is he good looking!!!

[lawgirl]

I know! I know! I am too busy right clicking--I haven't even gotten to the national day of prayer photos yet!

[patriciaruth]

LOL!!

[GretchenEE]

I noticed the pilot and regular co-pilot unhooked theirs right away. They are awfully tight.

On the special features for Band of Brothers DVD, one of the actors, after he was strapped into the WW2 parachute gear, and I mean realllly cinched up, made a very direct remark about how tight, how uncomfortable, the straps were.

[Maigrey]

I think we should rename it, from Commander in Chief, to Cowboy-in-Chief.

I think I've got a quote of the day...

Our Cowboys fly Steel Horses

[fish hawk]

In honor of our great president:George W. Bush

      HONOR AT SEA

Today, a day in history
our leader took to air
the President of our country
like none before would dare

to welcome home returning troops
upon the deck he slam
with military honors on
the bosom of Abraham

Our troops swarmed all around him
like sailors drunk on grog
the great ships Captain wrote with pride
into the Lincoln's log

"Today our ship was honored
all men will mark this day
when our beloved President
on this first day of May

"landed on our flight deck
where heros come and go
to thank us for our service
and let the world know

"what freedom means to Americans
what bloodshed and what tears
and what he said to us today
we will honor through the years"

"Though great men,rare,do come and go
as fate would us allow
we thank our Lord above for this
great man who leads us now"
                   by Fish Hawk

[patriciaruth]

We glommed onto all the footage of the handshaking. We love the interaction. Hubby says that's his campaign 2004 strategy...to shake every hand in America.

And Condi was there! Great day!

[hoosiermama]

Our Cowboy flies Steel Horses

LOVE IT!

[Brad's Gramma]

Why don't you save this Dose to your harddrive? The pictures will still be there so you can show them to him when he gets back.

And, of course, for your enjoyment.

[patriciaruth]

Well, that does it. Definitely bookmarking this thread now.

[goodnesswins]

I'm ONE HAPPY BUSHBOT, today!!!!

[azGOPgal]

If he was a little puppy, he would've peed on the floor. I love it when he's excited and happy like that.

[MJY1288]

"Leader" is what comes to mind when I think of GWB. He has it all

[azGOPgal]

Yes he is!

[lawgirl]

Damn is he good looking!!!

I nominate for "the most succint statement of what we are all thinking" award. I was literally squealing and having heart palpitations over here today. Patriciaruth--want to prescribe me something in case he ever does this to me again? I don't know if I can take it!!

Hey veteran dosers---remember when we thought it couldn't get any better than the Air Force One jacket?!?!? W must be reading the dose.........

W: Hey Lawgirl and Bush Babes-----I noticed how many times you posted my old flightsuit photo from my National Guard days, so I thought I'd indulge you with an updated version. Today's flight suit photos are just for you!

[TomServo]

BTW - Thanks for your FReepmail. I just considered the source. ;-)

[ODC-GIRL]

Okie Dokie. WARNING it is NOT LOW FAT!

Package of Sugar Free Jell-o Pudding mix, One cup of half and half and one cup of whipping cream. Blend well and pop in the fridge for a few minutes. It is just like eating mousse and has less than 5 grams of carbs per CUP. Cover any unused portion tightly. (Unused, ha ha ha) My favorite is the Chocolat Fudge flavor, to which I sometimes add a bit of Almond flavoring. YUMMMM.

[azGOPgal]

I hope he stops by in Az to shake my hand. Bush already had my vote secure, but a hand shake would be nice.

[MJY1288]

WOW, What a tribute to our President,

Thank You, it's a masterpiece

[Brad's Gramma]

Wow

[goodnesswins]

Wphile, Couldn't find a good birthday picture, but, I thought you'd like this pic again, for YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!

[Maigrey]

Oh yum! That sounds simply divine! (and a must make for Dad, since he is a diabetic, and on a modified Atkins Diet.)

[lawgirl]

OH good one. Now how long before someone steals that for their tag line?!??!

oh wait, too late......

[kayak]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I hope you've posted it over on the Canteen.

[GretchenEE]

Has anyone ever seen anyone enjoy being President more than this man does?

I include RR in that question.

[patriciaruth]

Hubby just poked his head in and asked if I wanted to watch CSI, coming on in a few minutes. I said, "Sure, I'll be there, I'm just saving some pictures to my hard drive.

Then he made another suggestion about what we might do. LOL! I wonder if there are going to be a lot of new Americans in nine months.

[ODC-GIRL]

That was wonderful. We have such talented people making such marvelous contributions here. Thank you.

[Kath]

Paul who??????? LOL!!!!

[alnick]

What strikes me about the pics of President Bush praying in church is that here he is, the leader of the free world, with the most humble body language in the room.

[kitkat]

90 MPH winds? WOW! Isn't that close to hurricane? Hope you had no damage.

[lawgirl]

LOL!!! A lot of "little Dubyas" LOL! I think the husbands of all Bush Babes should write the president thank you letters!
