I was fortunate enough to be invited to the President's appearance at Health & Human Services today to kick off the education campaign for the Medicare prescription drug program. I made it quickly through security and got a front row position in front of the podium. After the speech, President Bush greeted those in the front row and I was able to shake his hand and tell him not to be deterred by those who seek to harm him for political gain. He looked me straight in the eye, smiled and said "I'm not going to be deterred." It was a real "rock star" moment for me to say the least. I have pics if someone can tell me how to upload them.

Too bad you didn't suggest that he close down the border with Mexico to provide security to our nation.

Did you tell him that I would like a word with him?

Too bad you didn't suggest that he close down the border with Mexico to provide security to our nation. Was this part of the reason why this FReeper was invited?

Lucky you!!! I can just hear him say that line, full of confidence, a little swagger in his step, "I'm not going to be deterred." LOL.
