Today, President Bush delivered the Commencement Address at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado. This was the 50th graduating class of the Academy. There was some rain during his speech. Following his speech, he posed and “cut up” with some of the graduates and you will love these photos. Transcript
The President then traveled to Utah where he will attend two fund raisers on behalf of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Thanks

Wow. President Bush had such a delightful time today, everyone looked so happy.
Noted - am going to start toasters in a few minutes
The speech was very good. It was raining during it and I think that is why there are not more photos...the photographers from YAHOO were afraid they would melt, I guess. But there are many other great photos of the day.
of course I mean graduate
W went out of his way to make this a special day for these fine young men and women.
W made them W-onderful.
It was really fun posting the Dose today. W went out of his way and interacted humorously with so many of the graduates. God Bless him and them. So many of them will be in harm’s way soon.
I am sorry your co-worker missed the graduation. He must be very proud of his son for choosing to serve his country.
The photos are fun and W really was a good sport. Memories forever for these airmen and their proud families.
Hi snugs...it was such fun posting these photos today. W looked like he was really enjoying himself and the graduates were ecstatic.
