I know a public school teacher, a conservative, who says a number of her black muslim seniors are joining the army after graduation. She says they are nightmarishly racist and they did not dislclose the exact nature of the religious affliliation.

"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. "

LOL.. I wouldn't doubt put that past her, but its not the act she has to upstage, its the individual. And in this instance she is far out classed.

What a contrast...Clinton holds up all air traffic at Los Angeles to get a haircut. President Bush upholds the honor of the United States.

That's a keeper!

Notice these people feel free to pat him....

I've noticed that before......I distinctly remember on the anniversary of 9-11 when he visited with the families, they ALL touched him.

That was staged...and likely not the 'real' Saddam.

This is genuine affection. Money can't buy this...and neither can orders.

Super Hornets will be taking off this afternoon for their home base at Lamore (sp) in CA. They said that the President will be helping launch them. Never have seen anything like this!

Compare this to the Impeached One's visit to the troops in Kosovo. They made everyone turn in their magazines and firing pins before the Impeached One arrived...
