There will be live internet streaming of President Bush's arrival in Midland, welcoming comments and his address to the crowd. Local TV coverage starts at 4 p.m. Central time, internet coverage starts at 5:15 p.m. Central time.
(BTW, this is my 1,000th thread posted on Free Republic!!!)
Maybe you or someone else can bump to “Breaking News” later this p.m. Thanks.
marked for later
For as many things that I disagreed with that he did, I miss him already.
Going to miss the Levin Lounge this p.m. Maybe you can clue the regulars in on the welcome home address.
bump for later
Welcome back to the Republic of Texas, W.
ping, for reminder
Welcome home, Sir.
I miss President Bush already too. Will be watching the homecoming of he and Laura.
Barack Hussien Obama aka Barry Soetoro from Indonesia will never be my President because he is not constitutionally eligible to be President. Nothing he does or signs will mean anything or become law. He is nothing but a fraud.
I live in Midland and write for the Odessa paper. Unfortunately, I can’t go since I have to cover a school board meeting! I am so angry since we are sending every other reporter to the Bush event except for me and the cops guy.
It is going to be a big bash.....music, food and then a farewell speech by Bush himself....I hope you get to meet him. I covered a previous visit back when I lived in Kansas. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet him or interview him, barely even see the guy since I was so far back in the press area.
But, I hope he will be shaking hands at the Midland event.
My TIVO at home is set to record it all.
According to the press information we received, he should be speaking around 5:20, though likely a bit later since those things often are delayed a bit.
You will find a streaming link of the festivities here: [Note: The entertainment begins at 2 PM CT/ 3 PM EDT]:

If any of you live near Waco, TSTC currently expects him to arrive in Waco around 7:30 PM. Many of us want to make sure he receives the welcome home he deserves.
Bump for later.
I was not expecting to cry today. But I am. Bush might not have been the best president, but he was a good man. I take comfort in knowing that his eternal reward will more than compensate the crap he’s had to live with.
Yep, I cried, too. I cried when the Obama’s arrived at the White House this morning for their coffee with President Bush, knowing that this was the end. I cried when they left the White House in Obama’s new presidential limo, seeing that it was truly over. Then when President Bush arrived at the Capitol and started descending the stairs to watch Obama take the oath, I cried again.
For all his faults, he is still far more capable and respectable than this racist fraud we’ve just put in the White House. We are all going to pray and wish for the days when President Bush led us.
I thank President Bush for keeping my family safe, standing firm against the onslaught of bitterness and disrespect he had to endure by continuing to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for being a gentleman. These are things Obama has no clue about, much less his wife.
I am truly sickened and saddened today, mourning for our nation because this changes EVERYTHING.
I turned the TV on when I heard Rush say that the President was in the helicopter. When I saw that picture there were sudden tears.
I cry for America, our troops, our faithful allies.
