Did you hear that a rainbow appeared for the event?

Yes I did! Did you hear what he said about it at the beginning of his speech? If so please post it, I didn't get to hear it.

T, Laura's suit is goregous! And so is she!

God has blessed us with this president and first lady.

RAINBOW BRIGHTENS BUSH's SPEECH
By Alison Mutler
Associated Press

Bucharest, Romania-
As President Ion Iliescu and President Bush enthusiastically addressed tens of thousands of Romanian citizens braving a steady rain to participate in the occasion, the American gazed with delight at the sky.

On the east side of the square, a rainbow soared even as sunset fell and the western sky turned orange.

"As we started speaking, a rainbow appeared," Bush told the crowd. "God is smiling on us today."

It was an unscripted remark and took the translator by surprise.

Bush's rainbow comment never made it into Romanian, but the crowd applauded anyway.
