I see members of the US Army protecting him. Some with earpieces so I'm okay now.

Unfortunately some members of our armed forces cannot be trusted around the President.

radio says he is taking pictures and shaking hands with all the regular crew! Radio says the crew is using the disposable cameras, this president is an approachable "one of us".

There's something important to watch here..other than the obvious.

Notice these people feel free to pat him....can you imagine anyone patting his Dad - or President Reagan - or Clinton? I can't. He's an ordinary guy...who knows how to be Presidential when he needs to be.

This is the military equivalent of the post-9-11 appearance with the bullhorn.

From what I heard (earlier on this thread) it was "Navy One".

Hillary plans to fly in the gondola of a hot air (symbolic?) balloon in an attempt to upstage the President. She will carry a megaphone and announce her candidacy in 2004.

Ick!

Yes, red shirts are ordnancemen, green for maintenance, yellow and blue for aircraft handlers, brown for plane captains, purple for fuel handlers, after that it gets complicated.

This is so positively wonderful! Look at all those kids wanting a picture! JohnScotten said they ran out of film in the ship's store, and now we know why!

I love how he talks to the sailors!

(OK) (LFIM) (NDIC) BAR 4

Translation - Fair pass. Little low, flat in the middle, little nose down in close, flat at the ramp, 4-wire. Now, knowing that our CINC was aboard, the LSO's probably gave the PIC (pilot-in-command) an OK pass.

Yes, it was Navy One as soon as he got on board!

And I'd be doing the same thing, too!
