GREAT day to be a BUSHBOT! GO HOWLIN!! (and mykdsmom!)
Bush was in town today for a fund raiser; mykdsmom and I realized last night that the house was near where we live.
Soooooo this morning when we found out the exact route of the motorcade, it was even closer than we thought! My husband went out early and said that the State patrol was already on the back bridge to our neighborhood, ready to close it, so I went out looking for a good place to park and watch.
I found one and started back home, in time to notice that some SCUM had painted "This is Edwards Country" on our bridge; sooooooooooo I called DOT and told them and they came right out and painted over it!
I came home, grabbed my mom and called mykdsmom to tell her where to go; I went up to the main entrance to our subdivision and went out on the street; unfortunately, mykdsmom didn't make the "cut" and couldn't get over to where we were!
The first time he went by there were hundreds of us on the street with flags and signs. It was so great to see all kinds of people just coming out on their own to pay respect to the president!
After he passed by on his way to the luncheon -- he waved!!! -- I took my mom home because it was hot as hell, and mykdsmom and I made arrangements to meet again at 1:30 to see him go back to the airport.
mykdsmom brought a bunch of flags and some signs -- and her two precious sons -- we had one that said "Honk 4 Bush".....that got a LOT of honks! ncweaver met us up there, too!
There weren't so many people this time, but we had just as good a time! mykdsmom once again did the NC Freepers proud by getting interviewed by the local cable channel! She is our BEST speaker! (I hid!)
And back he came.....waved to us all and then left Raleigh!
It was a GOOD day to be a Bush Bot!
GREAT day to be a BUSHBOT! GO HOWLIN!! (and mykdsmom!)
EVERY DAY IS A GREAT DAY TO BE A BUSH BOT!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences from today -- I'm green with envy (and pride in your efforts to support our AWESOME president)!!!
What a great day and wonderful report.
I'm howlin' at your description of getting the DOT to paint over the Edwards message on the bridge, pronto!
