Ohmigosh, Mike, THANK YOU for posting these wonderful pics today. I have been smiling all day! I watched the old hag this morning and I did not see a happy face in any of the crowds in Afghanistan. Only saw one girl brave enough to even speak to her. Then, I watched the cheering crowds when GW came out. WOW!!! I hope they keep playing that. Ten times is just not enough. I want more!

Apparently this was a light duty day for the President in anticipation of the Thanksgiving celebration
Wow, we all got that wrong, didn't we!

You know, this may sound fake but when I was searching the usual sites for news of the President's Thanksgiving plans, it stood out to me that there seemed to be a hole in his plans. It honestly did. I thought, Why aren't I seeing a normal announcement of his holiday plans? Something is not in the usual flow. Then when I saw Wendell Goler's report on Fox about the Bush family plans -- given so late at night -- and the menu, I posted that. But it just seemed hollow.

Can't explain how it felt, but that is why I used the word "apparently."

He pulled off The Big One here. =)

He taught selected media and the Congress (Cong. David Drier, R-CA, said on Hannity & Colmes last night that Bush contacted every MOC before the trip about the trip, insisting on secrecy) that they really, really can keep a secret, which even they must admit is very unexpected. I wish H&C would have followed up on his remark because I must admit it seemed to me inconceivable that 435 Congressmen and 100 Senators knew this and no one leaked it.
