I wonder if "public officials" include legislators? What a joke...THIS certainly isn't political, is it?

Bush declares National 'Character Counts' Week
Published: Tuesday October 17, 2006

In a proclamation last Friday, United States President George W. Bush declared this week "National Character Counts Week," RAW STORY has learned.

Members of Congress have become snared in a number of high-profile scandals in recent weeks, with Coingate, the Weldon probe, and the Foley page affair all coming to a head. With mid-term elections just weeks away, members of Bush's Republican party are seeing support erode in the polls.

The presidential proclamation, in its entirety, follows:

National Character Counts Week, 2006 A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

America's strength is found in the spirit and character of our people. During National Character Counts Week, we renew our commitment to instilling values in our young people and to encouraging all Americans to remember the importance of good character.

As the primary teachers and examples of character, parents help create a more compassionate and decent society. And as individuals, we all have an obligation to help our children become responsible citizens and realize their full potential. By demonstrating values such as integrity, courage, honesty, and patriotism, all Americans can help our children develop strength and character.

Countless individuals throughout our country demonstrate character by volunteering their time and energy to help neighbors in need. The men and women of our Armed Forces set an example of character by bravely putting the security of our Nation before their own lives. We also see character in the family members, teachers, coaches, and other dedicated individuals whose hearts are invested in the future of our children.

Our changing world requires virtues that sustain our democracy, make self-government possible, and help build a more hopeful future. National Character Counts Week is an opportunity to recognize the depth of America's character and appreciate those who pass on our values to future generations.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 15 through October 21, 2006, as National Character Counts Week. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, parents, students, and all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH

Him and his staff are just laughing at people. They get a big kick out of weasal and DTB. Others hear stuff like this and their heads want to blow off. That is what has created the so called looney left. A guy like this is gonna speak to people about character? Maybe his brother Neil could give us some banking tips.:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

Other then Condi Rice, the rest of the Bush administration is pretty much full of unsavory sneaky characters. Bush alone is a spineless weasel that has lived a sheltered life and would of been an utter failure if not for being born into money. Cheney is by far one of the lowest rotten characters to come to Washington in along time. These people live by the adage of do as I say not do as I do! At this precise moment in time for anyone in the GOP leadership to be talking about high morals is sickening.

I can give you the facts to compare with your opinion if you like.

Another brillaint bill clinton comment. If the Dems have any backbone at all and they ever get in control, they should start right off and go after some of these pigs you follow cluelessly. You have war criminals, war profiteers, inside traders, election fixers, and a whole hosts of other crumbs.

Ur so full of shit that it's amazing someone could be so myopic! If the Dems had control in the last 6 years and utilized a Kenneth Starr to heckle and hound there would be more indictments. If you can honestly say that you think this administration has been upfront and honest then you have some serious issues that are beyond repair unless you seek some therapy. The obsession that you have with Bill Clinton is quite alarming and obviouslly leads one to believe that you have deeper issues.
