Ya know, it's good for our country, economy and overall morale, when folks have confidence in our president. Part of his job is to instill that confidence. It's not just about getting reelected.

My favorite comment was made by the pilot of the Viking. He said "The President is a stud".

Gotta love it :-)

P.S.

I think the Democrats are hearing the footsteps in 2004.

Pepsi or Coke anyone?

The Democrats have become a party in search of a reason for existing. I hope the leadership gets its head out of its bellybutton before too long.

God I hated typing that!

The flying in part didn't bother me near as much as seeing him wear a uniform. I can't remember the last time a president did that. The military should never forget that the commander in chief is a civilian.

Uniform or flight suit? Was there rank on the uniform? There is a big difference... you know this right? I mean, your view isn't being biased here now is it?

Let me refer you to:

Quote

The next morning, out on the tarmac, I had on my flight suit with my name sewn over the left breast. (No call sign -- like Crash or Sticky or Lead foot - but, still, very cool.) I carried my helmet in the crook of my arm, as Biff had instructed. If ever in my life I had a chance to nail Nicole Kidman, that was it.

That's from a civilian receiving an incentive ride on an F-14 (something I don't recall anyone really getting upset about).

Unless it's a pax aircraft, everyone wears a flight suit with appropriate gear, not a uniform so-to-speak.

As others have pointed out, it wasn't a uniform, it was a flight suit. God forbid something happened and the President had to eject with the pilot. Now I could be wrong, but I'm assuming a suit and tie wouldn't afford the same protection as a flight suit in an ejection scenario.

Looks like another attempt at Bush bashing to me sir.

Nah Grim, it's just politics as usual. I'll tell ya, I'm learning something about these bbs tho- no matter what the issue the same right wing posters line up behind the "official" viewpoint of the right and the same left wing posters line up behind the "official" viewpoint of the left. As a result nobody really thinks in here.

And the same posters just comment on everyone else's posts, without taking a viewpoint at all.

That you could come to that conclusion based on my posting history shows an enormous amount of ignorance or selective memory. I eschew a unidimensional classification.

That said, you're probably just trolling anyway. It's not often you can piss off both ends of the political spectrum in one fell swoop!
