President Bush Sends Condolences to Victims of Flooding
Cathédrale Américaine de la Sainte Trinité
Paris, France
THE PRESIDENT: Laura and I had the joy of worshiping here in Paris. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who are suffering from the floods in our country; I know there's a lot of people hurting right now and I hope they're able to find some strength in knowing that there is love from a higher being.
Also I want to wish all the fathers in America happy Father's Day. So Dad, if you're listening, happy Father's Day.
Thank you all.

Security is evident for the arrival of US President George W. Bush and his wife Laura at Heathrow Airport in London, Sunday June 15, 2008.
Note from Snugs here, BBC said that in Windsor the security was not noticeably higher than usual as when the Queen is in residence it is very high anyway. So I think we have a biased report here on this photo.
