First Pup Barney Bush stars in a holiday video from The White House.  Guest appearances are made by the Bush family, Michael Phleps, Shannon Miller and more.

 

President Bush's dog Barney is known for his gentle temperament.  But when a White House reporter tried to pet him yesterday, he snarled and bit the reporter's finger.

 

Barbara and Jenna Bush speak at the 2004 Republican National Convention.  Highlights:

• Grandmother Barbara Bush thinks sex is "something married people do but never talk about." What a fool.
• George and Laura Bush's pet name for each other is Bushy.
• G.Dub and Laura know who Outkast is, and both have been known to "shake it like a Polaroid picture."

 

Jenna Bush talks about her new book (Ana's Story), her recent engagement and life as a first daughter in this week's People magazine (October 8, 2007).  She says that her dad is "so funny and so goofy; he keeps me laughing."  She also says that as president, her dad "has done a really great job." 

This morning, President Bush vetoed legislation, supported by both parties, that would have provided health insurance for children from low income families.

"Today the president showed the nation his true priorities: $700 billion for a war in Iraq, but no health care for low-income kids; $50 billion in subsidies for huge oil companies; but no health care for low-income kids; $8 billion lost to waste, fraud, abuse, and no-bid contracts in Iraq, but no health care for low-income kids," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.

"Millions of American children and their families won't forget that they are on the bottom of the president's priority list," Emanuel said.
