Didn't the kid on his right make a phone call and ask G.W. to say a quick word to the person on the other end, which he did.

That was Sasha Cohen, the 17 year old figure skater. She had her Mother on the phone and the President talked to her for about a minute.

As Bob Kostos said "How cool was that?"

Thanks for the ping, summer. Wasn't he great?! He looked so happy among the athletes....and not one father had to worry about his daughter. (^:

It was one of the greatest moments of the Opening Ceremonies when President Bush went among the athletes in the stands and one of them handed him a cell phone. "Hey, Mom....the President is here and he wants to say, hi!"

Oh wow! It couldn't be more different could it?!

This man is moral and honorable, genuinely loves people, and is madly in love with his wife (and the differences between the wives is overwhelming too!).

Besides, he's talking to the young lady's mom! :o)

the Stanford mascot (a tree) during a football game.

That dumb mascot deserves to be tackled. It's just the outgrowth of a fit of political correctness when they took the original name and mascot away from their teams -- The Stanford Indians. The tree looks like the Adams' Family's Cousin It dancing around on the field. submitted by a Cal alum

It's sort of easy to pick out the secret service guy in that picture. He's the only one that's not smiling.

My, he does look stressed, doesn't he?
