one local talk show host made this observation.....

the president got a rousing ovation during his speech
but you could also hear nine voices muttering in the background.

He was referring to the nine Democratic candidates for the presidency.

Of course, he was corrrect...later in the day there were people muttering and complaining about the possible political gains
GB made by pulling off the trip. So much for taking a day off from politics.

I'd kill to have THE BIG BOSS come into my office and tell me I was doing a good job. Of course she'd have an ulterior motive...
but what do I care........at least she noticed.

The coolest part of the story was when Air Force One was spotted by a British Airways plane. The BA pilot radioed AFO and asked if indeed it was the President's plane.....

They answer was, 'No, this is a Gulfstream' (a small private jet)

The BA pilot knew something was going on and just said,
"Oh....."

-------------------------------

I didn't vote for Bush either, but landing on a carrier and flying into Baghdad Int'l. is pretty tough.

I think that the Demos should try and get one of their own
to walk on the moon...

That's what it may take to beat GW next year...

But then again, some politicians end up beating themselves...
