W was really looking stressed and worn lately. This little "field trip" may be just what he needs to get revived. He looks fabulous!
To: Mo1
Love this! He's equally as gracious to the pilots as to the rest of the crews. Photo ops for all!

Its cool to watch him immediately reach out to the young kids ( although deadly men and women at their jobs) working the deck who are just common sailors.
He waved off the brass and went straight to the enlisted types!!!
Way to go GW!!!!!!!!!!

Bush looks great. All these wonderful sailors, airmen etc. will remember this for the rest of their lives. They will tell their grandchildren and great-grandchildren how the President flew in and landed on their carrier. Their grandchildren will always look up to them because of it.
Dubya is a class act. That's what sticks in the craws of the libs. heh heh

Wash your mouth out for even saying Gore's name. (Not in a million years can I see him, clinton, or edwards in that cockpit.)

I wouldn't be able to fly the plane if Dubya was in there. I'd be so nervous. How awesome your g-grandfather got to fly Truman.
I wouldn't either! My g-grandfather engineered the train! He didn't fly. But, from what I have heard of him he was gutsy enough to do it. This is a great day! Love it!

Don't need them today. He's in the best hands.
To: Mo1
Where's the guy carrying the football? I couldn't imagine they'd go 20 minutes without the President having the nuclear codes at his disposal.

Just think . . . the Dixie Chicks said they were "ashamed" that the President is from Texas. Let's see how many people show up for their concert tonight. It'll be interesting. I wish I could freep those clucks tonight!!!
