The President left on Marine 1 the next morning, and choppered into port.

Don't know about the media.

Thanks. I was curious as there was so much interest in the method of arrival, but nothing on the departure. A catapult lauch could have been additional fun!

I feel certain someone has probably brought this up before, but I for one would be pleased if a new tradition was started, similar to the "Ann Coulter Rule".
Any thread about President Bush must include a gratuitous photo of him wearing a flightsuit.
I promise to learn how to post images, should this rule become standard.
I know it may not be entirely proper, as my daughter rebuked me and said I should not say GWB looked incredibly good in a flightsuit,
her exact words were "Mom, that's gross,he is the President and you shouldnt think about him being cute or sexy".
I feel very lucky that she is only 8, and has no idea the former presidents' major legacy for children was to casually introduce "oral sex" into their vocabulary.
