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

I hope that no one would harm him.

I think it more likely, as do all of us, that these men and women would die for the President, but it only takes one wacko!

[deport]

He's spending the night and flying out tomorrow by chopper before the ship gets into port.... He has some events in CA, silicon valley, I believe... He's going to be in one of the mess halls and who knows what else with the sailors. Maybe some rec room stuff,

[hoosiermama]

Actually they are all actors and the "accent" is fake.

[Consort]

If that idiot who called C-SPAN is correct about Bush not having been elected in 2000, then that makes him eligible to serve two more terms.

[prairiebreeze]

we are being sold a product....

Clintoon was a product....a trashy product.

[Howlin]

Oh, good point!

[Petronski]

Why is it that most of the people on C-SPAN disagreeing w/ the Pres have a Foreign accent?

Because they are seminar callers from DU?

Do you know which thread had the most posts?

We don't have anyway of knowing but I'm pretty sure that The New Hobbit Hole, with 48,318 replies, holds the record.

The bubba era totally disgusted me. HRC is now totally disgusting me. To sink that low and now we are restored whole by a great man with a great team. I've never been this impressed with a President. It's clear he loves his job and he loves mingling.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Middle Eastern man just called CSPAN to say these people who criticize this great President should be ashamed of themselves and don't know what they are talking about. I heard one SUPER WANKER IDIOT call and say we will attract more attacks because we responded to 9-11. I tried to get through but all circuits are busy.

Tony Snow just said that President Bush will try to shake every hand on that aircraft carrier. Awesome!

Now CeCe Connolly is blathering on about domestic issues vs foreign policy costs.

Matthews was on Celebrity Jeopardy tonight. He won but I wasn't impressed by him.

[Anamensis]

You know what, I'm noticing something about our culture as I watch this footage. Think of other peoples when their leaders are out amongst them, the jumping up and down, the screaming and wild waving and near hysteria. I know this is the military but I don't think it's just that, but look how we are. People stand quietly, patiently, but with big smiles. We as a culture are really much more restrained than some other cultures, I think.

12 years of Bush works for me :0)

Remember when Pres Clinton visited a Navy ship and he and his lackeys took off with all kinds of "souvenirs" from the ship? You can bet that won't be happening tonight. I also love it that you can practically set your watch by President Bush.

How petty does CC sound on FOX she should be on NPR.

[Howlin]

CNN has Christiane on.....need I say more?

[MJY1288]

TURN IT OFF.....

Havn't you heard the warnings about listening to D_Scam?

Here it is :-)

AIDS can be contracted through the ears by listening to a$$holes, use extreme caution while listening to C_Span... ooops I meant D_Scam

[Utah Girl]

Just compare Hillary!'s rant/speech a couple of days ago with President Bush's speech this evening. Such a contrast.
