I've been trying to get her to buy JUST a longer cable cord for four years!

[Guenevere]

My hands are sweating......my heart is beating faster & faster....

...I need chocolate!

[azGOPgal]

It has to be. Wasn't that a referance when the Dubya was out campaigning?

This has got to be one of the biggest rushes for him and such a relief to be out there having fun. I hope he thuroughly enjoys it, and I'm sure he will.

[Miss Marple]

True, but then I have to wire the Dish stuff into my computer room!

However, I am about ready to do this myself, since NO ONE IN MY FAMILY TAKES THE HINT.

[Lauratealeaf]

This is fun too. I am so proud of our President! This is so cool!

[Mo1]

LOL!!

[Jewels1091]

Really was there any doubt that he would fly if given a chance???? Who's going to tell him no??? He probably feels like a kid again!!!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Slight security risk for terrorism. For awhile now the TV nets have not been broadcasting his takeoffs and landings.

I love the Fox Coverage and that is a great shot of the SH-60, but my heli is the flying barn(SH-3). The guys on big Abe deserve this and I was proud to serve on her sister the GW, but my first and only love will always be my U.S.S. Independence CV-62. The real Navy burns black oil and not nuclear fuel(LOL)

"Tower, this is Buttkicker 1. We're going to make a little pass over Damascus. Set up some refueling. Over."

[retrokitten]

With all this talk of Top Gun, do you think we'll get a volleyball scene?? ;-)

[Quilla]

LOL!!

[Dog]

I just had some candy kisses.....all gone now.

[RooRoobird14]

Can you even imagine something like this happening with the DIRTPOTUS???? Clintbilly makes Phil Donahue seem like a "manly man" in comparison......

[Tree of Liberty]

I doubt he'll actually make the landing. It's very technically challanging and requires alot of training. The President was in the Air Force, which doesn't do Aircraft Carriers.
