*LOVE* George & Alfred, although they'll have a LOT of work to try to keep up with GW & his bon mots! Here's one of my faves, in which he appears to promise a compassionate American in every pot:

"The goals for this country are peace in the world. And the goals for this country are a compassionate American for every single citizen. That compassion is found in the hearts and souls of American citizens."
~Washington, D.C.; December 19, 2002

And this illuminates a possible reason Laura's so keen on promoting literacy:

"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures."
