What an exemplary commander in chief.

Amen to that. It's good to know that character is still in the White House after Clinton darn near destroyed it.

Man, I love this guy. After serving my last year under Clinton, this is such a breath of fresh air.

Sorry for the garbled post. Here its is cleaned up:

BANGOR, Maine, Sept. 23 -- It had been a pretty glum day for Spec. Brian Parker, who along with the other members of his National Guard unit said goodbye to their families and departed on a charter flight for a long-term stint in Iraq. But then, on a refueling stop here, a familiar figure boarded the plane.

"We were down when we left our families," Parker said, giving a thumbs down. "But then we heard Air Force One was here. It's a good morale boost."

President Bush, after a campaign appearance in Bangor, held his plane on the tarmac when he heard an MD-11 carrying 292 Army reservists and National Guard members were about to refuel here. For the troops, grimly heading toward an 18-to-24-month assignment in Iraq, it was a welcome lift. For Bush, who has been accusing his Democratic presidential opponent, Sen. John F. Kerry, of demoralizing the troops in Iraq by criticizing the war effort, it was a chance to demonstrate his devotion to the troops. "May God bless you all," the commander in chief said over the plane's public address system. "May God keep you safe." ...

Oh, how embarassing. The Post was just dying for there to be one Kerry supporter on the plane to interview, and the best they could do was someone still balancing the issues.

Pretty funny if you think about it.

Bush's impromptu visit with the departing soldiers came with some risk. It could remind the American public that more and more reservists and Guard members are being removed from their workplaces and sent on dangerous assignments in an increasingly bloody Iraq.

It never occurs to them that maybe he just thought it was a nice thing to do for them, and he didn't really care how the media might spin it.

The Washington Post must have scoured the plane for a Kerry supporter, but could only turn up one non-committed guy.

WOW! What a contrast from that former president who held his plane on the tarmac so he could get an expensive haircut!

May God bless President Bush and our troops!

Thank God that our service men and women have a Commander in Chief like President Bush. It's so obvious that he really cares about all of our soldiers. God Bless and protect all of them!

"That's my president, hooah!" shouted Sgt. Wanda Dabbs, a 22-year-old member of the 230th Area Support Group, a Guard unit from Tennessee. Others seconded her cheer.

That, and the individual that stated pride in our President after the president has said the same, have me in near tears.

I love this man! This is a GOOD man. Those incapable of accepting that are beneath contempt.
