President Bush shares a laugh with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin upon his arrival at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in New Orleans. I happened to see his arrival live on CNN. What was extremely interesting to me was this: A heavy-set, older man was standing with Nagin as the President deplaned AF1. The President ignored Nagin for several minutes while he spoke vigorously and at length with that man, who was not identified by the CNN reporter. (I havn't been able to find a photo that includes him.) Only after the President had completed his conversation with that man did he turn around and greet Nagin. It was almost like an afterthought. The following photos were taken as the two walked to Marine 1 for the flight to the Iwo Jima.

President Bush moments after landing on the USS Iwo Jima. He is seen here with Coast Guard Vice Admiral Thad Allen, who is now in charge of the federal disaster management in the disaster area.

This wider shot shows Vice Admiral Allen, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, and Lt. Gen. Russ Honore with the President.

With flight deck crew on the Iwo Jima.

A funny little incident: One of the flight deck crew handed the President a digital camera and asked for a photo. The President handed the camera to the Vice Admiral (LOL!), who took the picture. An extraordinarily rare time when a grunt sailor got a Vice Admiral do his bidding thanks to the POTUS.

As you can see, GWB kept talking to the sailor while he quite casually handed the camera to Allen. (Double LOL!)

Evening, Wolfstar. Thanks for the Dose :)

Anyone remember that old cartoon with the two dogs?

The smaller dog is jumping around, trying to impress the big dog, but the big dog doesn't care--he just pushes the little one out of the way and keeps on walking. This photo reminds me of that.

Seems Nagin has "taken to" President Bush. Guess he's realized it's best to hang out with class. :)
