You did very well! I'm impressed.

BTW are you the "broken glass Republican"? (I had that term explained to me and it is a good thing.)

Nice job FF!

I noticed that Pres Bush isn't smiling as he's shaking Sen. Voinovich's hand... I would love to have heard what Bush had to say to him about not supporting the tax cut.

[Nea Wood]

Great job, and great screen name! :-)

[Ferret Fawcet]

Me too... how could Voinovich look him (Dubya) in the eye? Usually I am none too proud to be an Ohioan (Voinovich, Taft- RHINOs) but today I AM proud because our great President graced our state with his presence. Wish I could have gone to see him.

[Republic]

Nice first post!

Saw the speech in Lima and the first speech of the day (where was that one-having a senior moment here...LOL!) and thought he did an outstanding job.

His plane-resting at WPAFB-was only minutes from where my husband is just now. Love to think of our troops there in Dayton getting a chance to see their Commander in Chief<---one they are PROUD to serve!!!!! Hooooooooo Ahhh!

[RicocheT]

I hope GW is squeezing Sen. George Voinovich's hand very hard during that handshake. We want that TAX CUT!

"Friends don't let friends vote Democrat"

Good slogan. These days the Dems have really shown their true colors. (Red & Yellow - Red as in socialists & yellow as in cowards - though bullies at times, but bullies are really cowards.)

Can't get enough of these great pics. Thanks for the wonderful post. Nazareth, Pa

[Inspectorette]

You did great!!! I've been here almost four years, and I still haven't figured out how to do it :-\

[ReaganRevolution]

Great pictures! Okay all my fellow Ohioans send your emails and make phone calls to Voinovich about not supporting the President. I sent my email, don't know if it'll do any good, but at least he knows I'm out there.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Dang! It took me a long time to figure out the picture thing. For a newbie you've got the wind at your back! :)

[keats5]

I was proud of the warm welcome our state gave President Bush today. Voinovich had to notice how the Ohioans cheered whenever President Bush mentioned tax cuts.

[Bahbah]

Excellent. Hooray for you.

[solo gringo]

Great job on your post.You picked our best subject and our great leader president GWB.

It's been quite a while since I've posted on FR...lurking mostly...but I wanted to thank you for posting these pics. I was lucky enough to be there today when the President spoke at the tank plant, and I guess I'm still on a sort of "high" from the experience! He was wonderful, my children were thrilled, and as you could probably tell, he is quite popular in Lima, Ohio! And it did not go unnoticed by the crowd that neither Taft or Voinovich were referenced by the President.
