Live thread for President Bush's flight to the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and his historic address to the nation tonight concerning Iraq.

They stayed around before flying to their home base at Lamore (sp) to greet the President!

No KIDDING!!! :-)))))

[annyokie]

No he wouldn't. Hubby is a retired USA pilot and such a manouever is very dangerous when one does not fly on a regular basis.

Look at all the crashed weekend pilots. GWB would not endanger our country for a cheap thrill.

MSNBC has done an outstanding job with this event. Made the mistake of turning on CNN for a nonosecond and there was Judy Woofwoof going on and on about how it's going to be soo hard to keep the piece. The war was the easy part.......aaaaaarrrrrghhhhhhhh damn her for calling easy the sacrifices made by all our troops and those families who lost people in this war.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thank you! :-) Every single one is a thing of beauty!

[mewzilla]

Sigh...:) Wonderful picture.

[EternalVigilance]

Four more years!...Four more years!...Four more years!...LOL...

I think someone better put a suicide watch on some leading Dems today...hehehe...

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Now you have done it, brought a tear to my eye.

I think the reason why I feel such a deep connection to our president, is because I know he is a prayerful man who loves his country, and wishes to protect the constitution. His ability to pray for guidance, while actively using force to protect me and my family, leaves me humbled.

I thank God for George W. Bush. I can honestly say that I do love this man. Not in a hero-worship type of way, but as an American who believes that because of his leadership, America will live on, and only get stronger and better as a nation.

[ewing]

Got to for all the cublicle bound folks!

[Carolinamom]

I think we all can say w/out contradiction that President Bush has THE RIGHT STUFF.......BIG TIME.

[Rummyfan]

Her ass wouldn't fit in the plane!

[Inspectorette]

Update: Hillary has leased the hot air balloon, bLIMP1,

Dang! Where's muh dart gun??!

[longtermmemmory]

are you sure what she meant by who was 1 and 10? she is a democrat planner after all.

Why isn't anyone mentioning clinton's lawn march? That was equally stupid as dukakis.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Compare that one to the picture of Dukakis in the tank."

Well, Neil Cavuto just did. And to his guest, who happens to be Susan Estrich, the Dukakis campaign manager at the time. Neil served her up a great big plate of crow, and I must say she took it rather well. She said that the difference between today and the famous tank picture was a 1 to a 10. She admitted that it "boomeranged" on him!

[BulletBobCo]

a talk radio caller just tried to claim CARTER!!!! did this first in an f-14? I don't believe it, but beware liberal "me too"

If they want to get technical, I believe that George H. W. Bush landed himself on carriers during WW2.

[Charles Martel]

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

You mean the one who endured that nonsense testimony by a statistician and then proclaimed that he felt as though he were "being nibbled to death by ducks", or some such?

I think that was this guy:

[kcvl]

That's why Fox News is beating the crap out of ALL of them! They have the FACTS! George W. Bush made HISTORY today, whether THEY (the envy groupies) like it or not!

I swear if Susan Estrich cackles one more time I'm going to smash my television.

[cyncooper]

Compare that one to the picture of Dukakis in the tank.

Neil Cavuto had Susan Estrich on who was cackling and such, BUT, she was asked by Cavuto about the Dukasis/tank thing.

She said the difference between that and today was the difference between a "one" and a "ten". President Bush is a "ten" (said Estrich!) because he looked like he belonged on that carrier. She admitted that frankly the Dukasis situation was in fact a manufactured photo-op because he was perceived as soft in military matters and that's exactly how the picture looked---fake and therefore a "one".

[retrokitten]

Update: Hillary has leased the hot air balloon, bLIMP1, and will fly coast to coast with a megaphone denouncing the President and announcing her candidacy for 2004. Kerry cancelled his plans to land on a French aircraft carrier.

LOL! Stop making me laugh! It hurts when the tension in my shoulders releases! LOL!

[PhiKapMom]

Carl Rochelle said that this is the first time there has ever been a Navy One! The crew of the Navy One will get a certificate for being aboard this Navy One! Talk about a keepsake!

He was wearing a survivor and parachute vest! Carl Rochelle said when the vest he was wearing came off, there were wings on the President's chest and commented you have to earn those!!!!! He then went on to say they were gold for today (AF wings are silver)!

The remarks by the media today that I have watched have been filled with respect for President Bush and what he has done today to show support to the men and women of our military.

This is a fabulous day!!!!!!! God Bless President Bush and looking forward to his speech!
