Here is another Dubya fact I learned from Dan Rather (of all people), Did you know that George W. Bush broke a long standing protocol of a President of the United States being introduced before he speaks?

Today our President insisted that he was Not to be announced before he spoke. Dan Rather said that George W. Bush did not want to be announced because the people were assembled to honor our fallen heroes and he was here to pay his respects and to speak for the entire nation.

A far cry from his predecessor

He not only knows who he is but his purpose. Thank God for the constitution. America has been so blessed!

Wow, that didn't even occur to me as I listened to him today. The radio announcer mentioned he was coming to the mike, and all of a sudden he was speaking. I thought the ammouncer had 'stepped on' the intro.

Isn't it wonderful to have someone so humble in such an awesome position. He KNOWS it is not about HIM!

When I think it's not possible, the President does something to make me admire him even more. He's a great leader because he knows when to lead, and when to step back and observe. It's not about him. It's about us, united as a nation.
