BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: President Bush now talking at the Marriott Marquis Hotel downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The themes today: Education, volunteerism and more that we heard from Tuesday night in Washington.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: ... I want to thank other locally elected officials for being here. And I particularly want to thank a member of my Cabinet. This man is a man who understands public education. He understands it well. You see, I picked him out of the trenches.</s>BUSH: I didn't find somebody who can talk theory...</s>HEMMER: An emotional and passionate man today, President Bush speaking in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Clearly, his focus was on terrorism and the current war, repeating a lot of things we heard from the other night, State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. Also, he mentioned toward the end volunteerism in America, USA Freedom Corps. There's going to be a big push from the White House across the country to get folks to do more of it. And we also heard a plea earlier this morning in Daytona Beach, Florida to get seniors to get on the wagon as well. Education is the theme. Next, Booker T. Washington, a high school in downtown Atlanta, the next for President George W. Bush. Again, a two-day, three-state tour. Georgia is his third and final stop here. The president is leaving the room right there. We'll pick him up later from the high school.
