Eat THIS Putin!!!!!

It wouldn't be nearly as impressive, to land on a carrier tied to the dock (since 1998, IIRC...)

Cool homepage!

(I had already figured out the 2004 voting part, but I really enjoyed reading the rest!)

I heard something on the news recently, some talk that he plans to skydive again.

[2Jedismom]

I wish I could tell them thank you. They really made my day.

I've thought of painting it on my roof! LOL No kidding! Sometimes they fly so low that the windows rattle in my house! I don't mind. I love it.

[ohioWfan]

I hope he does! I know his oldest son was VERY proud of him when he jumped the first time. 41's not as feisty as his son, but he's every bit as much a man.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks, and did you notice the new V picture of GW on the Lincoln on my home page? :)

[Howlin]

Ah, yes, I remember it well.

[Grampa Dave]

That's not a carrier! That is an elongated tug boat!

[ohioWfan]

I noticed.....I noticed!

[Otta B Sleepin]

They'd better all get counted! If they don't, I'm sure there are some new hard core Bush supporters in the military that will take care of it!

I'm sure you're right!

[Wolfstar]

Teddy couldn't even drive a car over a short bridge without going over the edge, let alone co-piloting a jet landing on an aircraft carrier at sea.

For comparison:

[Carolinamom]

I got excited just reading about your excitement! What a thrill you and your little ones had! The chopper pilot also got one from seeing you and your enthusiastic flagwaving....he knew he was appreciated.

Steak and lobster dinner for the Pres tonight on the Lincoln!

LOL------he'd probably prefer a CHEESE......burger.(In my best Lyle Lovett voice)

[Grampa Dave]

We should make it a federal crime for anyone who plays games with the absentee votes of our military or when they vote at home.

Prison sentence should be at the worse prison each service has. Say 20 years for each vote they tampered with.

[Northern Yankee]

Dust from the bottom of the aircraft?

Gotta be the impact of the tires on the deck. It's a controlled crash so those tires are taking a heck of a pounding!

Or it's the envy of the Dem's Presidential wannabees being put to dust by our Commander In Chief!

[Wolfstar]

I quickly drove home for lunch so I could watch the President land live. When I got back to the office, an ex-Navy far-Left, loyal Dem fellow I've known for around 12 years actually put aside his partisanship and said the President's landing was way cool. He'll never vote for our Dubya, but when the President impresses someone like this guy, you just know these images will knock the socks off most Americans.
