Well, I am sorry you are bitter, but if you watched this as we did all afternoon, you would realize that the enlisted men and women were not being used as 'tools." For heavens sake, the President is eating in the enlisted mess tonight, and he spent well over an hour greeting people and getting his picture taken with whoever had a camera!
ALL the reporters have spoken about how thrilled the crew is!
Just because some officer acts like an idiot, you don't need to transfer those feelings onto the CIC, who truly loves and values the military!

anybody freeping the Dixie chix concert at the office depot center in broward on sunday?
To: terilyn
Exactly. And it wasn't like he's hindering them going home. HE came to THEM!
They aren't going to hit home port for about 5 days...in Washington state!
But some folks would rather spew their right brained emotional crap rather than using cognitive and logicial thought.

If I tell you I'll have to kill you.
Heh heh heh
To: 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. Excellent point!

but today I saw a man that I admire as President of my country. That is a first for me in 43 years. I suspect that I am not the only person that feels this way.You are not the only person who feels that way.

Like GWB, we're taking the 4-seater. Ollie wanted to come along for the mission as well. I'd say, overall, we've got a pretty good team here ;)
To: lanceboyle
Most military know how important it is for them to have the support of the citizens..and good PR pays off.We are all part of the picture.I hardly think a Presidential visit is time to be critical..This citizen appreciates the sacrifices made by our military and their families.God bless them. I've waited on a ship to come home years ago.My husband had the duty..luckily a late trade was arranged!

Excellent point. All the reporters have been saying all day that he's landing on a "moving" carrier.

Excuse me, but did it ever enter your pee brain that maybe, just maybe, that the soldiers considered it an honor and a privledge to meet our president? Yes, there was extra work involved in getting ready for President Bush's arrival, but I am sure the soldiers thought the effort was worth it. I have two sons in the service and my husband in the reserves. They all admire their commander in chief and would consider it a REWARD to meet him. So, whiner, don't pity the men who got to hear the speech in person, but instead, be a bit envious.

Imagine Dubya getting three terms. Oh, the DUhs would just die. But that's just an extra plus.

I have never in my life liked politicians of any stripe, but today I saw a man that I admire as President of my country. That is a first for me in 43 years. I suspect that I am not the only person that feels this wayWhen I was active duty USAF, I was honored to be able to meet President Reagan. I truly admire him also.
