Bush comes back to return Marine's salute
FOX NEWS CHANNEL Special Report ^ | 11/30/01 | Norb

Posted on 11/30/2001 4:05:33 PM PST by Norb2569

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.

Norb, Take it easy, my friend. I'll say it again...I'm not dissing W the man. He is one. No question. Clinton wasn't. I admire the man. I don't admire his style of politics. Pragmatism isn't going to work. The other side isn't about compromise. They're not 'above the fray.' They ARE the fray.

Thanks for posting that picture.

Doesn't look like "W" has any problem being "human"!

Most of us would be, even in the office of the President!

Sorta underscores AGAIN what a total self-serving, sociopathic scumbag we had for EIGHT PAINFUL YEARS!

Thank God it's over.

"then get back on your ad hominem attacks on me:"

You Libertarians LOVE those two words:
"ad hominem"
Is that the only Latin you a**holes ever learned?
It means:
"appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect"
And here we go again with the same old pseudo-intellectual bullsh*t that you always put out!
Get a new record; that one is stuck!

And stop with the freep mails, keep it out here in the open!!

Snopes knows more about Urban legends than you'll ever know.

Anybody who would suggest a member of the Corps would be so irresponsible and unprofessional is no friend of mine.

Consider this my final communication to you.

I'm referring to the comment about my President being a Socialist. I may have hit the wrong 'post reply' and confused you with Cato. Sorry, I'm taking some heavy duty Robitussin with Codeine for my bronchitis and should probably just go to sleep!!!

That's a story he'll almost forget, but tell with Pride when he does remember! It would be told as a joke!

Well, humph, I will just add this to the great posts of Norb2569 and COB1.

You should thank God every day for President Bush and not having a true communist and socialist like Gore or TREASONOUS Clinton again.

ALL liberals whether they are dems or republicans are what is destroying America and George Bush is NO liberal, nor is he a socialist.


Now, where did I put my bag of carrots, lol

Ah, yes, the "he's not a REAL Socialist. He's a Republican. And at least he's better than Clinton or Gore" argument.

I guess I agree, since it doesn't matter.

Sorry!!! Actually, we're both on the same side here. I reiterate, Mr. Cato needs some serious de-poling. (no offense intended.) ~;o)

And as for MDC B_J...think about it...Bush has to be a Socialist for any of the Liberaltarians to ever have a chance at 1% of the vote again.
