I just heard on the CBS live feed some sailor said ... clinton would never do what you just did.... AWESOME!

[RightField]

well, I'm actually not sitting ON my computer ..... but you know.

I'm just so proud to have this man as our President. You can tell these fine military men and women are genuine in their affection for Bush.

[RooRoobird14]

Hillary's 6 foot wide lard @ss in a flight suit.......IMPOSSIBLE.....(BBMI.........BAD BAD Mental Images!!!)

LOL!

[Wphile]

WOO HOO! What a guy!

[A Citizen Reporter]

Just as the President's plane landed, somebody started pounding on my back door! I think I jumped about a foot out of my chair.

Well, it was the AC repair man, and I told him that he would have to excuse me, as the president had just landed on an aircraft carrier, and I couldn't be interrupted at that moment. His response? "Excussssse me? The President has done WHAT?" And then more than once he said, "I cannot believe the Secret Service 'let' him do this."

Do I need ask what his political affiliation might be? LOL!

[nothingnew]

Keep it up DrM...I'm LOL!

[Mo1]

Love this! He's equally as gracious to the pilots as to the rest of the crews. Photo ops for all!

McCain just said that the President coming out to the ship like this to meet the crew after being out at sea for 10 months is great and means alot to them

[bonfire]

I bet he shakes hand with every single person on the ship.

[nicmarlo]

Nope, he'll never forget, neither will all the military on the Lincoln!

[Anamensis]

Is that a girl right in front of W for that group shot?

[Exit148]

"Look at the grins on all the sailors. They love this guy!"

They really love and respect him, don't they! There are those who are going to call this 'cowboying', but to me -- it is trust.

(Just think how Clinton is stewing right now! HeeHee! I don't think he got this wonderful warm reception when he was on a carrier.)

[Lauratealeaf]

That is my daughter's squadron landing the Vikings who are returning to North Island after 10 months on the Lincoln.

Wow! You must be so proud!
