That spot is just gorgeous. Lucky girl, you .. ;)
If only GWB were running again for a third term, sigh!
Or should I say "Georgious"?
LOL ... not to worry. Just shows the level of brainwashing that’s pervaded this culture .. in even Dr. Who? Jeesh .. ;)
But, this writer portrayed BHO as a villian.
Ooops .. I just posted one teeny picture .. daisy had the WHOLE big job of all the great photos, and she did a great job. Thanks again, daisy.
Thank You Daisy!
;)
Now I getting ready to leave in August. and she'll be stuck with these lunatics.
So I gave her my Phone numbver and e-mail address so she can have a fellow Conservative to talk to when the libs at work get on her nerves.
Maybe she’s ready to be a FReeper ! ;)
Reuters sure is biased. Looking at that photo the folks on that transport had a lot more leg room and room to move about than in any economy class commercial flight and it looks like they have a pretty nice spread of food there too. But of course they have to make it sound like Laura flew in indulgent luxury while everyone else was miserable. I so hate the mainstream media!
Here is the link to another trip on a military aircraft by a reporter. This time the reporter is a patriot and the story has a twist that is totally relevant to the November election. It is a joy to read!

24 Hours on the ‘Big Stick’
What you can learn about America on the deck of the USS ‘Theodore Roosevelt.’

Landing on an aircraft carrier is...To begin with, you travel out to the carrier on a powerful, compact, and chunky aircraft—a weight-lifter version of a regional airline turboprop. This is a C-2 Greyhound, named after the wrong dog. C-2 Flying Pit Bull is more like it. In fact what everyone calls the C-2 is the “COD.” This is an acronym for “Curling the hair Of Dumb reporters,” although they tell you it stands for “Carrier Onboard Delivery.”

Landing on an aircraft carrier was the most fun I’d ever had with my trousers on. And the 24 hours that I spent aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt—the “Big Stick”—were an equally unalloyed pleasure. I love big, moving machinery. And machinery doesn’t get any bigger, or more moving, than a U.S.-flagged nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that’s longer than the Empire State Building is tall and possesses four acres of flight deck. This four acres, if it were a nation, would have the fifth or sixth largest airforce in the world—86 fixed wing aircraft plus helicopters.

Returning the favor of posting links to great articles, check out the article I linked in post 51.
Hint: McCain was a carrier pilot.
