Here's another picture of The Commander-in-Chief.
Don't you get the thought he enjoys this far more than rubbing elbows with royalty and 'dignitaries'??!!
This is not just a 'photo op' or publicity stunt - it is from his heart.

I don't know how many of them are on my ping list. The only ping list I have is the one for this thread......so, probably most of them haven't been pinged. Do you have a ping list for the DOSE?

" (Some here appreciate and expect 'perfect'. LOL. I just hate to disappoint T Man.) ;-)" Shame on you, Mama_Bear!
TMan's devotion is a marvel, so focused on saving us from humiliation, lest we feel we are failures!
His efforts are solely for our good, Lori, and ought to be appreciated.
Please be careful with your remarks lest he go from Thin to Thinner Man.
Do you want to be responsible for that?!!
I thought not!!

There's A Hero
There's a flower in the smallest garden, reaching for the light
There's a candle in the darkest corner, conquering the night
There is amazing strength In a willing hand
There are victories that you've never planned
There's a hero in everybody's hearts
There's a fire inside of everybody, burning clear & bright
There's a power in the faintest heartbeat that cannot be denied
Go on and trust yourself, you can ride the wind
You're gonna take your dreams where's they've never been
There's a hero in everybody's hearts

His efforts are solely for our good, Lori, and ought to be appreciated. Of course, and I do - truly! What I meant to say was that I'd prefer NOT to be on his list of those who need 'correcting' (for my own good, or not). LOL! Am I making this worse or better? I have no idea, so I think I will just quit while I I'm ahead - or, should I say, before I get any behinder? :-)

It's the thouhgt that counts. Some self-appointed spelling watchdog chewed me out for a typo yesterday. I know how to spell Clymer. LOL
To: Mama_Bear
No rain yet but I understand that it's on the way.
I went back to bed and slept for another half hour. The child gets here at 7:00 and I decided to grab a half hour while it was available.

You have outdone yourself, Aqua - that is a perfectly beautiful coordination of the photograph and the song that describes the man and the moment!
Cannot help but contrast it with what the former occupant evoked....we now have a Man we can call "HERO!!" - and with utmost respect.

Good morning, Pippin! I second your words to OUR President.
As President Bush landed on the carrier and went among the personnel, to shake hands and stand for endless photos, I was struck by the way real character comes through in this man. I couldn't help but remember the aloof, elitist posture and attitude that came through when the previous White House occupant was around our Soldiers. It was easy to discern which man was comfortable with those he commanded, which man counted these Soldiers and Sailors as fellow human beings instead of servants to the commanders will, which man had the strength of character that allowed him to be humble among the troops instead of posing for press. I was struck by the contrast of what would have gone through clinton's mind when reaching to hug a female sailor serving his whim, and what innocent manliness projected from the one now serving as Commander-in-Chief.
