On tonight's Special Report with Brit Hume, (hosted by Jim Angle this evening), at the close of the show when they normally have some funny video clip, they showed President Bush and the First Lady on their way to Marine One to leave for Camp David for the weekend. Jim said "You will see the president notice something unusual on his way to Marine One".
As the video starts, the First Lady is leading the way into the helicopter with the spaniel dog on the leash, and the president is right behind her with the Scotty on the leash.
As the First Lady entered the chopper, the Marine at the gangway saluted and held his salute. The scottie the president was walking decided it wanted to squat right when he got to steps. The president pulled on its' leash, but the stubborn scottie persisted in squatting. The president bent down and scooped up the pooch and entered Marine One. After he entered the Marine cut his salute and returned to the position of attention.
Moments later the president reemerged from the helicopter and out onto the steps. The Marine was standing at attention, head and eyes straight ahead. The president leaned over and tapped him on the left arm. The startled Marine turned his body toward the president and received his returned salute!
I was so impressed by this true act of respect for our military people by our president! He really does get it. Most any other person of his staure would have just continued his journey, disregarding the neglected return salute. Not George W. Bush. He is earning the respect of the military community, not expecting it - as most would.
Old billyblythe must chew nails over W. Ol' extinct billyblythe must have been born without some social gene...some "knowledge-of-the-existance-of-others" gene. He shall forever be the vicious, stooopid kid from the wrong side of the tracks...outside looking in. EVEN when he "gets in," he is OUTSIDE.
He, billyblythe, listen up!!! True grace cannot be bought or stolen.
That must be what the first pic on the Daily Dose is tonight. I thought Dubya's body was in sort of 'funny' position, but knowing now what he did, it makes sense. He is such a wonderful man, and knows how important the military is to freedom in our country, and they respect him for it!!
Bbrrrr. One of the many Chelsea stories that makes me so irate. I hope I never meet her. Thats horrible!! (that little b****!!)
The Officer never broke decorum. He simply exited the car and didn't say a word.
That officer should've received a medal of honor.
I missed it originally (it was posted on my wedding anniversary), glad I got to see it this time around!

Oobviously Fox News Channel aired it, but I doubt that the mainstream, I mean lamestream media did.
Hats off to the President and to FNC!
My sister and I swear that billyblythe and his little wifie shillery too had to get rid of the first "Buddy" dog they hired. That first dog would NOT GET NEAR billyblythe. The color of the dog changed, and the dog was more docile about its interaction with the billyblythe's. Coincidence???
BBBBWWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Aren't you the flaming a**hole I've been hearing about?
But, you are a good guy. Seriously.
If you really believe that, then you just indicated how little you know about our elected President Bush and the definition of Socialism (and revealed your devout support and defense of the Clintons), all in one sentence!! Good for you!!
We need to be alert that the Dashole-Leahy-Kennedy et al rats are now coming out from under their rocks in droves to attack him.
The rats are back in the hunt! To confiscate from those who produce, to control the sheeple and to make them dependent on government , all in the name of humanity and humanism.
Stand tall and strong Mr. President and he will!
