Bush Feeling 'History of Moment' at Second Inaugural
NewsMax.com Wires
Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2005
WASHINGTON -- Relishing history as he awaited his second oath-taking, George W. Bush paused amid celebratory galas Wednesday to contemplate America's most treasured historical documents, including George Washington's inaugural speech.

Asked whether he was feeling the history of the moment, Bush said ``Absolutely.'' He and Laura Bush studied original versions of the Declaration of Independence so faded that most signatures were illegible; the Constitution; the Bill of Rights; and Washington's address and Bible.

The sense of history was palpable in the dimly lit, dome-shaped room. A portrait of the Founding Fathers gazed down on the president, his wife and their entourage.
Top presidential adviser Karl Rove said Bush was ``focused, upbeat, optimistic'' about the job at hand: four more years in the Oval Office, starting Thursday, when he will be sworn in anew for a second term.

``Anybody's who concerned with creating a legacy will fall short if he's not focused ... on the right policy and service to the country,'' Rove told The Associated Press as Bush donned spectacles to view the documents. ``And let history take care of itself.''

David McCullough, who wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of John Adams, suggested to the White House that Bush pay a visit to the historical documents, Rove said.

``He thought it would be a nice act of respect in veneration of the Constitution and the Declaration if the president visited the archives to see the two documents, and perhaps it would become a tradition,'' Rove said.

Bush is calling for national healing after last year's bitterly divisive election, while devoting parts of his inauguration week to core Republican supporters - the big donors who helped finance the festivities.

From the National Archives, he made a stop at the ``Chairman's Luncheon,'' the latest thank-you appearance, behind closed doors, with the donors who ponied up millions to finance inaugural festivities. Snow blanketed the streets of Washington as his motorcade made its way through the streets.

Later Wednesday, Bush was making a dash through three ``candlelight dinners'' with the heaviest donors to the inauguration. All were closed to journalists.

Tickets for the candlelight dinners were distributed to those who chipped in $250,000 or $100,000 to the inauguration. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and their wives were attending the candlelight dinners.

Wednesday evening, he was to attend ``A Celebration of Freedom,'' complete with musical performances and fireworks, scheduled for dusk on the Ellipse south of the White House. Bush's schedule was ending late Wednesday night with the first of the week's inaugural galas, the Texas State Society's Black Tie and Boots Ball.

During Bush's first-term inaugural week, the festivities were ``such a whirlwind we didn't really absorb it,'' Mrs. Bush said Wednesday. This time, she said, she plans to ``make notes every night so I can remember things that happened that day, feelings that I had.''

Asked during an appearance on CBS' ``The Early Show'' whether those notes might be turned into a book one day, Mrs. Bush said, ``They might. I hate to act like I'm going to write a book. So far I haven't managed to write one...maybe I will.''

Bush said Tuesday his second inauguration should serve as inspiration to fledgling democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan.

``The inauguration of a president is a great moment in the life of our country,'' Bush said in a speech to thousands of military personnel and supporters at a sports arena.

``With an election behind us, the American people come together in unity to celebrate our freedom,'' Bush said. ``A presidential inauguration is a testament to the power of democracy, a symbol of our confidence in the popular will and a sign of hope for freedom-loving people everywhere.''

The inaugural committee raised money from corporations and individuals to finance galas and other festivities during inauguration week. Through Friday, the committee had collected $25.5 million toward a goal of $40 million.

The biggest donors, those donating $250,000, also got four seats to Bush's swearing-in ceremony; 10 VIP seats at the inaugural parade; and two tickets to an underwriters' luncheon featuring Bush and Cheney.

Unlike Bush's presidential campaign, the inaugural committee could accept unlimited contributions from any source except foreigners, although donations were voluntarily capped at $250,000. Bush's campaign could only accept limited donations from individuals and political action committees; corporate, union, unlimited and foreign donations were banned. © 2005 The Associated Press

NewsMax web masters will all be jerking off to the inauguration! (Like Matt Drudge, they are all secretly gay!)

[Wayne L.]

The Democratic Party will be jerking off because that's all their leaders & activists most of the time do instead of running the country & keeping their private life private as in Bill Clinton. BTW, The Drudge Report is great on the net & makes more sense than the NYT.

That's quite the political postulate, there, Nick. Not exactly an 'adult' opinion.

Well, let's start with something simple. Do you agree with gw that his slim margin of victory affords him a nationwide mandate on his Iraq policy? He specifically said that his re-election proved that no one should be help accountable. What's your take?

From your posts, I'm not sure if you're able to keep all of these stories together in your head to form one big thought on the whole situation. Maybe you can create an outline with the key points. That should help.

Pretty funny huh?

Drudge is well known to hang out in rave clubs in South Florida which cater to a predominately gay audience. And the only "woman" he has ever been seen with is Anndrew Coulter. His closet door is made of Saran Wrap these days.

Well i can Lounge is a little bitter we have Mr. Bush as president. Of course we all know that it was "fixed" and this and that right ford?

[whodat]

yea ive read 1984. i cant recall the theme much other than that which big brother is keeping a watchful eye and mind control. I think its ridiculus to believe that will ever come to surface and i think paranoia has been ignited by the far left in order to distort the facts. If we cant come together as a counrty..right and left then civil war will ensue.

[whodat]

the thing that i find absolutely hilarious is most of the information that is qouted comes from moveon.org. how can you gather the facts when you getting your information from mindless asswipes whose agenda is to mind phuck the public in believing bush is evil. Love they brother

Ok that's a start. 1984 was much more than how scary it would be if someone was always watching you. When did you read it? You should probably take another look, it's better the second time and when you're out of college.

It's about how to establish control over people's hearts and minds and keep it that way forvever. It gives an explanation for the way society is segmented (poor, middle, rich) and shows why perpetual warfare benefits the rich. Yes it's fiction and sci-fi in a way, but it's based on real human feelings and interaction and most of it has been verified by my very eyes in the last 15 years.

Both sides of the isle have engaged in paranoia to imflame their supporters. But please ask yourself, why do so many people HATE gw? Why do I HATE gw? I'm not poor, I'm not being bombed right this minute, I haven't been idicted for what I got out of the library, but you have to look ahead. You have to see the consolidation of power and understand it only has one outcome. Once you gain power you NEVER relinguish it without a fight. And we're just giving him more and more power every day and he'll NEVER give it back. But it's much more than just 'him'.

I try my best to believe only sources that I find to be reputable and not biased. You will see very few times that I have qouted a weird source on something that I firmly believe in.

Again, same thing on the other side. The White House was recently caught paying off a commentator (Armstrong Williams) who appeared to be unbiased to shill for their education program. So it's a PROVEN FACT that the right and the gw administration will pay people off to go along with them. Wait and see who the next GOP candidate for Ohio governor is.

[whodat]

let me sask you this. Would you feel this way about bush if congress didnt vote to go to war with iraq on false information on wmd? But, without wmd isnt the world better of with the tyrant? he did murder millions of his own people. Is that the way to treat another human being.. genocide? removing an enabler of terrorism. some people just cant be reached

[whodat]

paying people off like you claim bush is doing is better than having people who are associated with bill clinton, is by far less humane.

You are welcome retroactively. No, but I find NewsMax to be, like Matt Drudge who is strongly rumored to be gay as a pin wheel (hence my big GAY reference), to be almost a laughable source for all of one's news.

And don't bring up the liberal media bias bullcrap and throw it in my face either. Because any discerning, semi-informed adult knows the difference between NewstaMpax and say CNN or even Fox (for as much as I think they are shit as well). Though I will give Drudge some credit despite the fact he has become lazy and basically is a clearing house for pro-Neo Con news stories; Newsmax clearly displays an almost childish nationalistic, pseudo-pro-American style of yellow journalism on their site to pander to uneducated rednecks and senile retirees. I find this to be dangerous and merely a manifestation of the Goebbels style of propaganda. I also find it comical that people like Wayne L. and whodat really believe their lives will be better under the Bush Admin., but hey they voted for the "winner" right?

Having said that, No I do not believe most Republicans are gay nor do I believe all Republicans are uneducated rednecks. I was not trying to make a sweeping generalization and I apologize to the Repub's (of which I am one actually believe it or not) that show themselves capable of rational, independent thought. I just can't stand the ones that get all their news from "news for dummies" style web sites that pander to the base and ignorant, keejerk bottom lines and only seek to hear what they what to hear.

I'm not sure I understand your initial question. If we had found mass quantities of WMD in Iraq, I would most likely have thought that war was justified, at least based on what gw said and what we found. Now his ability and his will to actually administer those weapons against US interests is something else entirely. But gw would have much more credibility now. Much more.

Yes the world is usually better off without tyrants, but sometimes they are a lessor evil. Saddam's brutality was the glue that held that country together. Without it, the place will surely splinter. Maybe a huge regional civil war pitting each ethinicity against the others resulting in millions of dead, a destoryed ecosystem, and a demolished oil pumping capacity is better to some, but it will most likely make things even worse. This will most likely cause even more death and suffering than Saddam, if you want to try to quantify death and suffering.

They could end up better in the long run, after we get through WWIII or IV or whatever one we're on.

No. We now have an Iran that is increasingly powerful and we are powerless to act against effectively, seeds for years of civil war, tyranny, and future instability (which generally leads to more terrorism).

Iraq served as a stabilizing force and a bulwark against Iran. They were effectively powerless to launch any offensive military operations.

Most of those poor Iraqis in the mass graves were killed when Bush Sr. told them to rise up at the end of Gulf War I, and then left them high and dry to get slaughtered by Saddams Hind-D gunships and secret police. Did Dubya and his Neo Con douchebags ever mention that?

Didn't think so! That's WHY THE SHIITES DON'T TRUST US. BECAUSE WE ARE SHIT AT OUR WORD! and have zero cred. in that part of the world!

Change "most" to "many" in the first sentence and you've made an excellent point Nick, an EXCELLENT point.

The thought that Shiites would greet us with open arms and trust us when the father of our current president betrayed them is laughable. HAHA

George Bush is about freedom, and in the longrun, his actions will prove to be friutful...

I've been told by Kurdish immigrants here that many of them feel the US is just as responsible for the genocide of their people as Saddam. (The chemicals were supplied by the US).

That doesn't make any sense. You say gw is great because of his accomplishments, then you say that "people like me" are foolish for pursuing accomplishment. Retarded.

Or was your point that an action's utility doesn't matter, as long you did something?

:confused:

And I'm not "people like you," you dumb fuck. I bet I agree with you and the rest of the gang on most of the important issues. You're buying into the language and culture of division they're creating. [/B]
