| The American President | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is my official salute to the 43rd President of the United States. I am proud to say that the President received not only my vote, but my unwavering confidence in his leadership abilities. I have faith that he will direct our country in accordance with the ideals that we as Americans value, but have come to forget in the barrage of hopelessness that has befallen so many. His vision is to give the power back to the people, above the Government and below our God, where it belongs. And so I say to you, lead on Mr. President! The people have spoken. The following is a collection of reasons of why my roommate Justinne and I love our man "Dubya." A man's man and a boy's boy, we couldn't deny our devotion to this lovable character. And after reading this, we hope that you won't either. |

| Governor Bush's traveling Press Corps presents him with a Halloween surprise. The gift, inspired by Bush's commentary of NYT reporter Adam Clymer, was received in excellent humor by the governor and his running mate, Dick Cheney. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Bush has a sense of humor that provides a most influential dimension to his charisma. The following anecdote is courtesy of www.abcnews.com: The most famous Bush convert was the late Bob Bullock, the crusty Democratic lieutenant governor who for many years was the most powerful politician in the state. Bullock was still skeptical of the governor in 1997 and told him at a meeting: "I'm gonna f*@# you on that bill." Bush, who reads people extraordinarily well, came over and planted a big kiss on Bullock and said: "If you f*@# me, you're gonna kiss me first." Bullock loved it, and became a close friend and campaign contributor to Bush. On his deathbed last year, Bullock told Bush he would make a great president. |
