"The crowd was enthusiastic and was a whole lot happier looking than kerry's crowd a few weeks ago in Charleston, WV. The President was so relaxed and he did a masterful job of interacting with the interviewees. He was funny too. I believe he will get a good boost in WV with this appearance."

That sounds really great for our president. He looks pretty happy himself in today's pictures - must be the reported 308,000 new jobs for March!

He always pulls a big crowd in WV. If he would focus a little more on values and guns he would be safe in WV.

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

I saw your post of March 9 just last night, commenting on my screen name. You are the first person that I know of that figured out where it came from. Tom Mix was a bit of a hero to me as a little kid back in the days of silent film. Most freepers are not old enough to remember and I know you are not old so you used google to get it.

***Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars***

Ahhh, Harry Connick, Jr.!!!!! Love his version of "Fly Me to the Moon." Saw him at Art Park near Niagara Falls about 13 or 14 years ago.

Charlie Chaplin was brilliant in silent films too. Not familiar with Tom Mix, but have heard of him.
