More SPB News wrapup...


While President Bush is attending a Mideast conference in Annapolis this morning, "he won't remain there for long." He "plans to head back to the White House after delivering his opening speech to the diplomats and dignitaries at the U.S. Naval Academy." White House aides said he wasn't planning to offer new American proposals to resolve the conflict.

The Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens recalls that when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) visited Syrian President Bashar Assad back in April, "President Bush denounced her for sending 'mixed signals' that 'lead the Assad government to believe they are part of the mainstream of the international community, when in fact they are a state sponsor of terror.'" Today, Assad will sit with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Annapolis.

At least 1.4 million homeowners will lose their properties to foreclosure in 2008, while "the property value of U.S. homes will fall by $1.2 trillion," says a new report by the the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Council for the New American City. The report predicts "deep economic impact from ongoing housing market problems."

Attention singles! Foreign Policy magazine has put together a list of the "most eligible world leaders." Topping the
list is French president Nicholas Sarkozy, who is "always the center of attention." Also making the cut: Condoleezza Rice ("the most powerful woman in the world"), Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck ("Prince Charming"), Michelle Bachelet ("tough, smart, and ambitious"), and Hugo Chavez ("a hopeless romantic").[Sorry, Jackie. Putin is married. Not on the list. :( ]

SPB thanks for the info on Putin but I can always look and he's good to look at.
Now Connie will be seated next to the Syria leader as the White House and the Media condemned Pelosi for visiting him.
Prissypatriot the French President was to be divorced before he ran for President. His wife agreed to hold off and help him with his campaign. It was nice of her. Now it's strange that Bush is doing the same thing as Laura spoke to the Queen of England about her divorce while George told the Queen it was none of her business. Now most powerful men have mistresses like George H. Bush told Barbara Walters on TV. Most people will not relate their private lives to the public. Funny isn't it how the Christian Right condemns divorce while they said Hillary should divorce Bill. Strange isn't it.
