...when the motorcade passed by, guess who had his head hanging out of the surburban??? That's right, your governor and mine, Jeb Bush! Today was great!

LOL!!!!! Andrew, Great report! I enjoyed it so much I have to read it again now! :)

I tried to bump jayne but spelled it wrong..this may be my favorite post of the entire 2002 so far!!!!!

a Cuban refugee kid who came here 6 years ago speaking no English. Now, he will be going to Harvard. It proves what can happen to capable people when they are allowed to prosper in freedom.

But how can this be? I thought the shiftless, lazy, Spanish speakers were taking over our country and ruining it for the "real" Americans? /sarcasm

¡¡¡VIVA CUBA LIBRE!!!!

Big Bump for an inspiring post. It was a wonderful speech from the President, and I was very impressed by Gov. Bush too. Hearing the President speak twice today I feel like it is a total antidote for the Carter debacle.

¡LIBERTAD!

What an awesome experience you had today. You must be thrilled.

I've seen the POTUS twice to date. Andrew did a great job putting his experience into words. I think it's kewl that he's already a conservative at 15!

I have great memories of both times I saw Dubya and his entourage first, one week before the election (outside of Bucs Stadium with Bo Derek guys) and second, last June at a Tax Relief Rally. The Tax Relief Rally was the first time I saw Jeb. He's a little taller than Dubya. I'd say there were already big security concerns last June and it was really HOT.

Big Redd, I hope you get to see the current Prez George W. Bush sometime, or the future Prez, John Ellis Bush, Governor of the State of Florida! You will be herded a little bit, on your feet alot but you won't care. IT'S WORTH THE WAIT!

WOW! What a report from a fifteen year old. The future looks bright with propects like you.

BTW, your recount of the excitement in the crowd brought tears to my eyes.

Also, on a related note, FYI --

Statement by Gov Jeb Bush re: Celebration of Cuban Independence

[alisasny]

I was so busy bothering hillary and working to defeat her that I never had time to go see Bush, although he gave up on the NY electorate early. He still did come a few times but it was tiring to make the time. Will be my upmost pleasure to see our President in person when the time arrives.

Your well written account of President Bush's visit made me feel as though I was there too! Thank you for sharing your exciting story.

[livius]

Neat! Thanks much for telling us about this. I liked what Bush said - and thanks to you, I like the way he said it.

¡Viva Cuba Libre! ¡Viva Presidente Bush!

Thanks alisa....

Andrew ...great post!

[floriduh voter]

Ping and bttt. You, go, Andrew!

[demkicker]

I listened to a talk radio program in Houston this afternoon. The host said that GWB's speech wiped out whatever Carter thought he was going to accomplish by his intrusive visit.

In this speech today, Bush made Carter look utterly foolish and irrelevant. Of course, most of us already knew that, but it's nice for Bush to remind everyone....

A day for you to remember young Freeper.

Great report!

Not 10,000... bout 3500 I think was what they said in the Miami Herald.

Thanks again, Andrew. You're one super kid.

Thank you Andrew for taking the time to post your report!!
