When they showed President Bush talking to the skater's mom (I guessed) I could see him mouth the words: This is the President - and just imagined a stunned parent might blurt out - THE PRESIDENT OF WHAT??? lol!!!!
(I'm sure they didn't do that as I am sure the parents were watching and were thrilled out the kazoo that his wonderful man would be taking the time to talk to them).
Old Friend - this decision to go be with the atheletes as he started the games was a big secret - and impromptu thing it seemed to me (the NBC announcers, at least, were stunned). And it was wonderful!
I am sure there was no danger from that cell phone because one of our skaters was talking on it just moments before she handed it to the Prez. OUR SKATERS - not a terrorist and not a DEMONRAT!
There was much more danger for him being out in front of that huge crowd earlier in the night than being in the middle of those young American atheletes and talking on one of their "stars" cell phones.
I LOVED seeing him there, enjoying these atheletes, and especially surprising that skater's mom on the cell phone call! LOL! BEAUTIFUL!
Guess it's just that the man means so much to the world that I was afraid when I saw the cell phone.
The Mossad has perfected the use of the cell phone as a murdering device and I am sure others have figured it out too.
