The report on NBC said President Bush was traveling back via car. Why not fly? What's the weather like in the DC area?

It's misting here, light rain. Nothing anywhere near serious enough to warrant grounding helicopters.

Remember that Blair allegedly met Bush at the White House yesterday, rather than at Camp David, as planned, because of the weather. The weather then wasn't that bad either, I thought.

I suspect security reasons which they won't publicize. There have been strange searches in the Catoctin Mountains, near Camp David, the past week or two. The excuse then has been that it's connected to the anthrax investigation.

The Left is so full of psychopaths. We know how much they hate GWB, hate America. I suspect the reason for much of the caution and seemingly strange procedures are justified for the president's security.

The Left is the enemy within. I do not trust any Leftist as far as I could throw a Chevy Suburban. I trust no Leftist working for the government either and would not rule out any possibility of sabotage in any disaster (including this one), or any possibility of a Leftist plot to hurt the president. The Left is a most fanatic group of anti-American sociopaths and they mean to destroy America by any means necessary.

That is strange, the president being driven back from Camp David. I doubt that weather was the main factor.
