First pictures of President landing on deck.

If it was Hillary, hopefully the pilot would have hit the co-pilot EJECT button. LOL

[hattend]

Did you get Micheal Moore and the Dixie Chicks yet?

[nicmarlo]

LOL! you ARE a dansdevil!

[Lady Jag]

I got home just in the nick of time to see Dubya land. Thanks for the ping, gotta read the thread now and see if anyone else thinks he landed it himself.

[Tailback]

Probably the guy with the most flight hours and carrier landing.

"Is your AC repair man from this planet? Does he live under a rock? LOL!!"

Well, this is interesting. While he is "recapturing the freon" he keeps coming inside, and he is just as captivated watching these pictures as I am. He's not saying a thing, though! Maybe it's the first time he's ever seen Fox News...LOL.

[RightField]

I just heard him say, "Yes, Ma'am," to one of the navy women. Barbara Rush raised him well, didn't she?

I should be doing laundry, but I can't pull away from the screen just yet.....

[Dahoser]

Is that after she writes 'Surrender Dorothy' in the sky while in the hot air baloon?

LMAO!

[Dog]

LOL!

Nite Nite Guennie...:-)

[Inspectorette]

LOL - Doc - Nuke all the libs!!! :-))

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Great
What is record # of posts Here?

[ohioWfan]

LOL! Maybe he did!

Listen to them yell now! Too cool!!

[Lauratealeaf]

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.

That is really true. Great post!

[NCC-1701]

Thanks for that PKM.

[Fred Mertz]

I thought it was an excellent move on Bush's part contributing to the morale of our military men and women. I missed his landing by about a minute...UGH!

[ewing]

That is 'V' for Victory baby!!

[Darlin']

"Well, they felt free to pat Saddam, didn't they? !-) "
No, they felt free to pat Saddam's double in a staged walk about for his Ministy of Disinformation and Propaganda.

[nicmarlo]

I think they are thanking him for coming to see them

How kind of them...he's feeling very honored and special, probably more than our military! What a wonderful president we have. NOW I HEAR LOUD CHEERING!
