Did you catch Cheney's comments? I thought I heard something about "I'm not sure he told Laura what he's going to do today!"

FOFL .... Gosh I just Love this President

I feel like a kid waiting for him to land on the ship

So the news report is wrong? Naw, they are never wrong.

I read that W wanted to do an FA-18, but the SS nixxed that for lack of space for the SS. I could not understand saving the seat for 'the crew member'. Maybe the football is in the 4th seat afterall.

Us sailors call it the Hoover because of the sound the high-bypass turbofan engines.

That was on the Forrestal after it was converted into a training vessel, wasn't it?

They did mock him after the 9/11 bombing. There was credible evidence that he was a target and thus the criss-cross across America to get to one of our secure Command Post at Offutt. The USSS didn't want him to go back when he did.

Someday the whole story will be told and the liberals will have even more egg on their face.

They didnt show that part. I would assume that they'd have to pull into port and take it off with a BIG crane.

Hey - we're having fun. If this thread offends you, maybe you should slither over to DU.

How do they get off the carrier? Probably by copter. Remember that the Abraham Lincoln isn't stopping to take on its precious cargo and that they will probably be close enough for a copter to fly back to land.

Thanks for the ping Howlin. This is so cool for GWB. I'm happy for him that he gets to have this once in a lifetime experience.

Now, I start praying.......
