Howlin, thanks for the ping. I'm listening to the KOGO (San Diego) radio live feed. They just pre-empted Rush.

KOGO did a poll this morning regarding people's opinions of Pres. Bush as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Over 80% of respondents (me included) said they have a higher opinion of him.

John Scott is on the Abe with a bunch of sailors around him, all there voluntarily.

Fox said it's about a 40 minute flight out to the Lincoln, but no word on when he leaves SD.

[Howlin]

Um, and when you're done with that, can we have some graphics of the planes......LOL.

[Howlin]

OH! The crew of the Lincoln says that they are PROUD that Bush is their president!

[caisson71]

The President again proves he's "THE MAN" with this high pucker factor trip. Just imagine how the PILOT must feel. The troops on the ship will go absolutely WILD!!!! The Democraps can only recall a stained dress in the oval office.

Anyone know how far out the Abe is from port?

Went outside. I can see AF1 with binocs! WOW! Still taxi-ing!

I'm sure the nine Democrat presidential candidates are just steaming about this landing on the aircraft carrier.

[The Great RJ]

Remember when Clinton and his groupies stayed on the carrier for the D-Day anniversry--his staff and probably Hillary stoled the towels.

David Asman just said that the S-3 pilot is one of the "top ten tail-hookers".

[dixiechick2000]

Robes...they stole the robes.

Thanks

I join with those who'd like to see this in the "breaking news" column. It would be a real aid for us during the next hours.

Thank you.
