Why would any SS need to fly with W?

Keep the football (carried by a military officer, assigned by duty rotation) with W; send the SS later....if at all, with the rest of the baggage.

Again: why do you need the SS on a carrier, in a battle group, 150 miles offshore?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Amen.

I just cannot get over how they all touch him. I can't remember seeing that before.

I was marvelling at the same thing--how he was arm-in-arm with so many--making himself so accessible to them.

My wife, son and I each got to shake the President's hand during a rope line campaign event last year. He is very engaging and he hears the many comments people extend to him.

Storms knocked my Dish sat. signal out just in time to miss the landing. I was able to see the President in the jet seconds after the landing.

Clinton might have been "First in His Class" but Bush is FIRST CLASS.

I knew I shouldn't have started this!

Guess we know what Clinton's legacy really is after all...

[G.Mason]

Terrific!!

Many of us liked that.

Thanks

I know.. but atleast we got to see him... and the sailors saying Thank you Mr. President.

I guarantee that Hillary Clinton is having another cow about now. Green with envy because this will NEVER happen to her. ROFLOL!!!!!!

What was that Judge's name in Tallahassee? We need to thank him too! The Democrat one who was very funny with the glasses.

That prop plane is an aerial surveillance radar plane.

remember how PARANOID x42 was around the military. It would be a nice contrast if anyone has clintoon marching on the white house lawn.

Yeah, see the thread I initiated yesterday concerning an Army Private (no less) who criticized President Bush in an interview with her hometown newspaper....identified herself as a "liberal Democrat who hates Bush," wanted UN backing for the war, blah, blah, blah. BTW, I sent some fax copies of the article to several talk show hosts, both locally and nationally. I hope someone picks it up, and gives that bimbo (Private Sarah Freeland) a little heat....

Hillary.. wil never ever never ever be my President

Isn't it great?? I'm having a really stressful day at work, but I'm so happy to come here and share this with everyone! It makes things go a little easier.
