President Bush and Mrs. Bush joined former President George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush for the christening of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the USS George H. W. Bush CVN 77.
Click here for a transcript of the GWB’s remarks.
Also in attendance at the ceremony were Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, General Peter Pace, Virginia Senator George Allen, Doro Bush Koch and Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
Enjoy your Saturday visit to Sanity Island
Congrats on your co - Toaster win.
Glad you feel better MJY....
I received a very fast response back from the CEO regarding my email to TV Worldwide that did the video of the GHWB event today. I told him how frustrated I was the segment at the end where W finishes his remarks and introduces his Dad glitches .. and it doesn't ever play that segment.
This is the answer I got .. and it was very nice of him to respond pronto:
"You're doing everything right...today, because of the storms during the ceremony, we lost part of the satellite transmission feed and are awaiting a tape of the full ceremony to be sent to our studios here in DC to encode for the web. We'll get the complete video up as soon as we can...Thanks for the inquiry...Dave Gardy, CEO, TV Worldwide."
When I asked when he thought they'd recover the missing parts, he said he expected by Tues. or Wed.
On this site: http://tvworldwide.com/events/Northrop%5FGrumman/061007/default.cfm?id=7463&type=wmhigh
He also asked me if I was with Northrop .. LOL .. so I told him I was part of an internet forum .. freerepublic.com .. that supports America, our troops and our prez .. and we love to watch his events.
So check that again on Tues.
I laughed so hard, and was amazed to find that no (laughter, applause) followed the end of the story.
I thought it was funny too. But there was no "(laughter)" included in the transcript either.
Happy House Move In Time!!!!!
;oD
And the Dose is the BEST place to get these kinds of pictures!
Couldn't agree more :)
Hello there! Glad to see that You are ship shape!
I'll have to send GHWB's Avengers after you ...
They can drop torpedos :)
HAhaha! Sub has a sub smiley!!!
I took it down. Doesn't look right.
The President apparently missed an opportunity today to stick it to the liberals and the islamofascists today.
Since he was christening a major naval vessel, Bush had a perfect opening to mention the 435th anniversary of the victory at Lepanto.
Great opening post - thanks for the subsitute dose ping.
Love ya, Buddy :)
Thanks, Snugs :)
Joint toaster winners.
Great to see you Mike hope you are feeling much better.
Night kiddo...sweet dreams...
