I would like to wish the President a happy 60th birthday today. President Bush has not been a perfect president, but in many ways he has been the right man at the right time, and I am an unabashed fan. On some of the issues that he has not handled so well, he still has time to improve. In some of the areas in which he has performed incredibly well, but has received no recognition, I believe that one day he will. Call me an optimist. I plead guilty.
The Anchoress recently captured some of the reasons I am thankful for this President in The Essential President Bush.
Stuff like this doesn't hurt my opinion of him either.
Some think the President might be a bit worried about getting old. If you would like to let the President know that 60 is not old, you can send your message via internet. The RNC has a virtual card that you can sign and personalize with your well wishes (warning -- there is a contribution request on the same page).
Happy Birthday Mr. President.

I love the lemonade stand story! Happy Birthday, Mr. President.
I'm off to the trenches of Summer School, expanding the minds of our youth...

Gotta give it to the GOP, they sure know how to raise money. You mean I would have to actually pay to say happy b-day to frat boy?
Well, Happy B-day frat boy!!
And that was free :)

I caught a little bit of the Kennedy Center 4th festivities. They had that dead-on Bush impersonator doing his schtick, and he had Bush and Laura rolling with laughter.
Bush is someone who is perfectly comfortable with who he is and is man enough to laugh at himself.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Prez! I thank God for you every day.

Try following the links next time. You don't have to make a contribution. You just have to view a plea for contributions on the same page as the birthday card message form. That is a bit annoying, but a far cry from being required to make a contribution.

No "happy birthday" to Sylvester Stallone? He was born on the same day as Bush.
Lorie, you're such a right-wing tool!
Just teasing. ;)

Lorrie, don't try to reason with the fieldnegro, leftoids are just that way.
Drudge said the prez was concerned about the BIG 6 O. Well I did my best surfing at 60. Big deal...

Maybe there is some kind of mixup.
I followed the link and filled out all the information except the contribution part, and it came back with an error saying the credit card number was missing.

serfer62, how can you channel surf if your TV is stuck on FAUX NEWS :)
Just wondering!
Or did you mean surfing in the ocean?
