Coming up at the White House and beyond...
In the coming weeks, President Bush will be making a cameo appearance at...the White House.
Between Beijing, where he is watching swimming and basketball competitions and a warm-up baseball game at the Summer Olympic Games this weekend (and, yes, meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao), and a summer break at his home in Crawford, Texas, the president is planning to spend two days at the executive mansion.
While in Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday, he is meeting with an energy coalition, participating in a ceremony opening a historic suite of office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next door to the White House and posing for a photo with the winner of the 2008 National Spelling Bee.
And then, on to Crawford.
