He could have taken his Marine I sea stallion to come aboard but, for the publicity, he chose the former. It was a stunt, pure and simple! Agree...Nothing but a photo op stunt.

There seems to be different stories out there about whose idea the sign was.
I agree completely that the sign could have been used to contrast the ship’s accomplishment of its mission and America’s ongoing one.

Jeb Bush is the quickest way to ensure a 2nd term for the Magic Negro.
Go home Jeb. And stay there.

There seems to be different stories out there about whose idea the sign was. According to Navy Commander Conrad Chun, it was requested by the ship's crew.
As explained by Cmdr. Conrad Chun, a Navy spokesman, "The banner was a Navy idea, the ship's idea. The idea popped up in one of the meetings aboard the ship preparing for its homecoming and thought it would be good to have a banner, 'Mission Accomplished.' The sailors then asked if the White House could get the sign made. ... The banner signified the successful completion of the ship's deployment,"

Mighty funny looking retirement, getting a major refit, a new captain and all... Yes, thank you for that clarification. It was the completion of a historical deployment that was being celebrated rather than retirement of the ship from service.

Short and sweet:
I despise completely, dynasties of every name and sort.
Yes, specially Bushes, currently; and I will fight it any way I can.
We can't afford "leaders" who fail to lead and are either ignorant, or oblivious to their constituents basic needs.
Doesn't matter if they have (D) ir (R) after their names.

As I said, different stories.
I’ve run across interviews with WH aides where they admitted they had come up with it.

"Mission Accomplished" was a large fabrication created by the MSM commies.
Only the sheeple bought into it. I'm surprised there's anyone here on FR like you who still believes it.

So what does Mitt Romney get for being their family’s loyal placeholder? < / sarcasm >

"Mission Accomplished" was an inglorious stunt that backfired...even Bush admitted so click here to CNN. Shame that you castigate other "sheeple" buying into B.S. when you seem to be doing just that yourself. Whether it comes from the hard left or hard right, crapola is still just crapola.

He has a number of negatives - his wife and her smuggling, him whining and crying over illegal aliens, and his terrible handing of the Terri Schiavo case.
