"Hillary plans to fly in the gondola of a hot air (symbolic?) balloon in an attempt to upstage the President. She will carry a megaphone and announce her candidacy in 2004. "

LOL.. I wouldn't doubt put that past her, but its not the act she has to upstage, its the individual. And in this instance she is far out classed.

It brings to mind that scene from INDEPENDENCE DAY where the POTUS leads a squadron of F18s into battle.

I always had trouble with that because I knew that no president would ever do that.

UNTIL NOW.

Looking at this CnC, you know that if need be, George W. Bush would do it. And the men would follow him.
