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.

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!

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.

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.

I don't know how Voinovich could look him in the eye, but I did think it took some courage for him to be there today. Probably more to the relationship than just that tax issue. I've not noticed him being a rebel in the Republican ranks before. Any Ohioans able to give me more information on Voinovich?
