President Bush Schmoozing With Donors
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 11:20 a.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush is calling for national healing after last year's bitterly divisive election, while devoting parts of his inauguration week to core Republican supporters -- the big donors who helped finance the festivities.

:puke:

Bush said Tuesday his second inauguration should serve as inspiration to fledgling democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan.

``The inauguration of a president is a great moment in the life of our country,'' Bush said in a speech to thousands of military personnel and supporters at a sports arena.

``With an election behind us, the American people come together in unity to celebrate our freedom,'' Bush said. ``A presidential inauguration is a testament to the power of democracy, a symbol of our confidence in the popular will and a sign of hope for freedom-loving people everywhere.''
