President Bush is a good man, period.

(pics on the thread)

[...]The president was finishing his speech, and Sarah tells me, "I need some water. I'm blacking out." We had spent four hours standing in the sun, and despite her regularly drinking the water that was passed out throughout the event, the sun took its toll. Sarah was wedged into a narrow angle where two fences meet, and the place was packed. Now that the president was leaving the stage, the people handing out the water were gone. I felt kind of useless as a husband. There was no room to sit her down. There was no water. I was just hoping the president would get by, and crowd would begin to move, and I could do something.

The president came around shaking hands, moving toward our position. He shook my hand and those of people around, when I see his head suddenly turn in Sarah's direction. The President of the United States of America immediately recognized that Sarah was not well. He stopped all he was doing to focus his attention on her. He steadied her with both hands, and asked, "Are you OK?" At this point, she can't see. She can still hear, but thinks it's me talking to her. She said, "No." The President asked her, "Do you want me to get you some water?" She said, "Yes." Immediately the president spun around and yelled to his staff, "Get this lady some water now!"

In a few seconds, the secret service and his staff had several cups of water and an ice pack in our hands. Someone is on the radio calling for medical attention. In a few seconds, eight or nine Brevard County Fire and Rescue people come running around the front of the crowd.

Marshall Bush To The Rescue!!
My son and I got to shake the man's hand before the last election when he came to Camden, South Carolina. The crowd was jostling us pretty good when my son was knocked to the tiled concrete floor.

This GOOD MAN, not even the President yet, turned his head toward security in the sunglasses, raised his hand and pointed toward the floor. In two seconds it seemed, my son appeared alone on the floor.

I took one photo which is framed on my son's wall.(No way to take more...my boy was on the floor!) I'll scan it and post tomorrow here in this thread.

Yes. I thank God we have a real GOOD MAN in the Oval Office today!

Couldn't agree more bump.

He's also one of the most skilled executives, innovative transformational thinkers and cleverly audacious statesmen to ever occupy the office.

He's hated by the American and international left, and the mutants of the third party fever swamp, because he's world class effective.

Yes, NVA, I was there.

All I saw were the EMT's rushing over to give assistance and aid to someone in trouble.

In the photo below, I'm in the background along the fenceline standing behind a young lady wearing her Civil Air Patrol uniform.

I'm the tall dorky one wearing the dark blue "W" t-shirt holding a Nikon camera.

The elderly lady in the foreground wearing the straw hat is a dear friend of mine and she is the North Brevard Chairman of the Bush/Cheney campaign!
