I can't believe I did that. Actually, I can. I am still blushing.

This moment in time is what makes us the greatest nation on earth. As one leader leaves the stage a new leader takes his place.

LOL--don't worry about it :)

The President looks great. He probably feels the burden he's been carrying all these years finally being lifted off his shoulders.

President George W. Bush holds the badge of a police officer killed in the September attacks. "And I will carry this," said President Bush during his address to Congress Sept. 20 [2001]. "It is the police shield of a man named George Howard, who died at the World Trade Center trying to save others. It was given to me by his mom, Arlene, as a proud memorial to her son. This is my reminder of lives that ended, and a task that does not end."
