Yes. I saw it live and thought it was really funny. If anyone else did that to a Vice Admiral, they'd be put in their place quickly. But the Vice Admiral simply took the camera and snapped the photo. Then he handed the camera back to the President, who gave it back to the sailor.
How are you good friend"snugs"
Before Katrina, I thought that's what all mayors did in this kind of situation. Nagin proved otherwise.
He's an embarrassment. Blanco and Landrieu, too.
Hi Jonny. Well stated. I had a similar impression, but didn't know how to communicate it.
I have enourmous respect for those two men...men who walk the walk, but still know how to talk the talk.
Thanks for the great pics.
WOW . . . While this Flight 93 movie is difficult to watch, it's an absolute must see!
Night all!
Thank you all praying for "Kitty Mittens"THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!
Thanks again Deb, for great info. I will definately be sharing this with a few folks. Ummmm, Boxer and DiFi come to mind!
I think George W is probably a lot different with employees in private than in public because you cannot dress down an employee in front of People. In such an important job as working for the President you better not mess up and he is like his Mama a hard as$. Tough cookies, that is what you need to keep a tight ship. I will bet that that backbiter colin Powell has been spilling his guts, it would not be out of character because he was a huge leaker when he was Secretary of State. He is out of the loop now and is jealous of Condi so since he has nothing to leak, he is acting like a nasty jealous teenage girl and talking out of school. I would bet money it is him. Hey Colin obviously nobody was afraid of you especially liberals.

Those of us who have followed GWB every step of the way through photographs these past five-plus years know him better than anyone else other than his own family.
To Thomas, first I would say that if GWB is such a tyrant to work for, how come people of the caliber of Andy Card, Karen Hughes, Condi Rice, and even that Democrat, Norm Mineta, have worked for him for years?
To those of us who know him so well, I would say that GWB definitely has a tough side. I wouldn't be surprised if he is something of a demanding boss who does not suffer fools gladly. But we also know he is a deeply warm, caring, often funny man who wears his heart on his sleeve. There is absolutely zero artifice in the man in every aspect of his life. I have no doubt that's true in the office as well as in public. The personality type shows so much of the inner person will show both the sweetness and the temper, and everythign in between. Doesn't bother me a bit.
Do we have any news about Kitty ?
A lot of people that have worked for President Bush have NOT been loyal..and respected his ways...
It seems like a lot of former White House employees, like O'Neill, and even Colin Powell can't seem to wait to contradict things, and come out negative on Bush...as soon as they leave...
A lot of people say President Bush is loyal to a FAULT...like with Michael Brown...but it seems he picks some people that make HIM look bad...
I agree with your assessment of Powell. I used to admire him, but have seen a different side of him in the last year or so.
"The President did look more rested and his demeanor seemed brighter today."
I was JUST flipping tv channels and I saw footage of the President coming down the plane stairs and greeting Nagin. He looked really GOOD. That colour blue and rolled-up shirtsleeves becomes him. He does look better rested...and energetic. Considering he came from 9/11 anniversary ceremonies, and the past two weeks of hell, this is very good. May God continue to strengthen and encourage him.
"I love the way Dubya and Laura hold hands, it does good for my heart"
. . . that was my first thought when I viewed the '911 rememberance photo' . . . thank goodness they have each other!
OK, now I'm really leaving to watch the end of the Flight 93 movie.
Same with me. I was born and raised in New York City metro area, then moved out here in 1976. But my very first childhood crush was on Roger Staubach, so I've been a Cowboys fan for life. Great game today. Best I've seen the Cowboys plan in a loooooonng time.
Regarding the guy the President was speaking with so vigorously, unles it's reported somewhere in the media, we may never know his name. Sigh. My curiosity is high over him, too.
