[...]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.

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!
BTTT
I'm betting that you think Dubya looks better in shorts than Dirty Kerry does .
GWB is one of the best presidents we've ever had
Indeed. Bump!
AMEN!
This story is vintage GW. He's a decent, caring person. And no, Kerry would never do something like that. It's 'sit down and shut up!' And 'That's MY business, Not YOURS!' Town hall memories of Kerry on the primary campaign trail. How can anyone vote for that putz?
With Kerry, as soon as he asked the question, he would have ordered the Secret Service to bring water, make the comment, " Boy is it hot today ", and downed the water.
Kerry reminds me of Halloween and, while I do like horror, I grew tired of it in the WH in the '90s.
Look at this guy. Look at his arms. That's my man.
Can you imagine a story like this about JFnK?

No.
Lady Jag, Behave yourself!!!
You are a married woman!!!!
BTW my wife does think he is cute!
"I realize you need water, but let me get back to what the President said a couple of minutes ago..."
Kerry, being a metrosexual would fear of grass stains!!
I'm glad you did not post a picture of Kerry in those goofy shorts while he windsurfed the Nantuckett waters.
In an interview a while back, Laura Bush said that both she and Dubya exercise a lot in the second-floor gym of the White House. I'm glad they take advantage of this fringe benefit.
Enjoy Dubya in shorts and a t-shirt. Unfortunately for me, the press never takes pictures of Laura in a similar outfit.
Great Pic, just hope they will be together on Wensday, when the Pres. will be in Detroit.
What are you complaining about? Women sadly lose out big time in this entertainment department!
For our side, and I mean 100 percent of the time, President Bush is simply a good man, and he is a magnificent leader.
