A day in the life of President Bush (photos): 5/1/03

President Bush and First Lady Laura began the day in a ceremony honoring the National Day of Prayer. Bush then headed to San Diego where he co-piloted a Navy Viking jet and landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln, a truly historic moment for American Presidents and our country. The President then spoke to the nation saying that major combat operations in Iraq are over. Bush also took the opportunity to once again thank the men and women of our military. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

Wears it better than...

He looked better than Paul Newman when he got out of that jet. :-)

That impromptu eruption of cheers at the beginning made him CRY!! (And me too!!)

[ricpic]

"Forgive me, but I really, REALLY like those leg harness straps!"


Iiiiiittt's............PACKAGE TIME!

[rintense]

Psst! Look closely...

Secret message---->I always said he has a pair, but DAMN!

[JustPiper]

Is this heaven or what!!!!!

Absolutingconservatively!!!

I think Gore's alpha male photo look was enhanced.

Rintense thanks for the ping. These are great pictures.

They show strong images of a strong and determined leader. I am grateful that President Bush is young and strong enough, and in such good shape physically, that he can dress in a flight uniform and look like he belongs in it.

Some presidents could not carry this off, or would be too old and feeble. I see these and I think if he could possibly do it, President Bush would jump into the battle and fight alongside the servicemen.

Much as I love President Reagan, I can't imagine him doing something like President Bush did today. That graphic with President Bush as a gladiator is right on the mark, like he could do that. Otherwise it would be a parody.

[reDublican]

LOL! You poor thing. This must be awkward for you.

[ODC-GIRL]

A true pilot, talking with his hands. What a wonderful day. He must be exhausted after such a full schedule, though. Should sleep like a baby.

Great pictures of mission planning and all the gear these guys wear every flight. They are always prepared for survival just in case.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

You really are an embarrassment...

[DrDeb]

"Uh......yes.....content......that would be the word!

He's all HERS! Whoa!"


We think so much alike -- I love it!! [I think it's because we're lucky to have our own 'stud' muffins!!]

As yes, I just love President George W Bush -- a REAL man on EVERY level!!!!!

[nhoward14]

What euphemism? He has a big flashlight on the right side of the flight suit. Doh!

[SnarlinCubBear]

ROTFLMAO!!!! BIG TIME!!!!

Thanks for the link. They're eating well today

The Pacific Ocean (Apr. 28, 2003) -- Volunteers from Harris Ranch Steakhouse barbecue steaks on the fantail for the crew to show their support for the USS Abraham Lincoln’s (CVN 72) participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The volunteers used their own money to buy the steaks for over 5000 crewmembers aboard Lincoln. U.S. Navy photo by Airman Geanine I. Ortez

You really are an embarrassment...

Thanks!

[ohioWfan]

And yes, I'm sure Laura hopes he hangs onto it...........and possibly wears it for her, occasionally.

OK...........on that most pleasant thought, I'm going to have to leave this party!

Don't get TOO carried away here, OK???? hehe

[baseballmom]

...but my appreciation for his physical attributes doesn't seem to conflict with my total RESPECT for him and for his morality.

It's the total man.

[nhoward14]

No way. I'm perfectly comfortable with )(*$....

We're sorry. This BS has been interrupted by reality.

Isaiah 40

²⁸   Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
²⁹   He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
³⁰   Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
³¹   But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
