What a great President!

[VOA]

What an awesome thread of what will become historic photos.

I seem to keep hearing "Hail To The Chief" as I look at all the pictures on this thread.

As Paul Harvey says to courageous souls, I say aloud for Dubya:
"LEAD ON!"

We taped the whole thing!! We couldn't get the smiles off our faces as we watched the BEST Commander in Chief to grace this great nation in quite some time, land on the deck of the USS Lincoln (Ok.. so there were a few tears of pride in our eyes too as he stood with our troops).

As any pilot can tell you, the President LOVED every second of being in that cockpit, and we noticed he was in no hurry to leave the flight deck and his visits with the troops.

The way he treated the troops is unprecedented. The man genuinely has RESPECT and APPRECIATION for their service.

It was an awesome thing to witness. We are both glad we taped it. The only thing that would have been better than watching it, would have been to be there in person. This visit sent a loud and clear message to ALL the troops. He cares about them.

He knows the responsibility he has, he's sincere. That is so important considering what we ask of our brave young men and women.

Lets just hope America remembers how important it is to have a Commander in Chief the troops "respect", come 2004!!

Got home just in time to see the great speech by Bush! Thanks for posting these photos. Quite a day!

My hubby says Bush is the kind of guy who probably got in the jet and said "Let's see how fast this baby can go!" I bet it will be hard to wipe that grin off the President's face after getting to fly that jet too.

Hot man ping!

An honorable president uses the military in a just cause and thus enjoys fellowship with the soldiers: the pictures demonstrate that they enjoy him!

So do I!

By the way, who wants to rally behind the following slogans?

• No war, let's not liberate the oppressed people!
• No war, let's not stop payments to Palestinian homicide bombers!
• No war, let's not curtail the provision of sophisticated weapons for terrorists!
• No war, let's not end training camps for Al Qaeda!

Mr. President: In the words of "Hollywood" (Whip Hubley) to "Maverick" (Tom Cruise) in the U.S. Navy Top Gun Fighter Pilot Weapons School in the movie Top Gun, "Gutsiest move I ever saw man."
