thanks for wonderful photos.

I watched an hour of his trip to Ground Zero on tv yesterday...he was there for two hours, hugging, encouraging, and caring about those who lost loved ones. I marveled at the emotional energy he displayed...how many of us could have given so much to so many?

He did look tired at his speech last night. No wonder.

Actually, another "caption" comes to mind... borrowed from the last scene in "The Right Stuff":

"Is that a Man? You're DAMN RIGHT it's a MAN!"

"Thank you, God, for this wonderful man, President Bush"

An American Role Model.

Thank you, Mr. President.

We know that certain enemies of ours would conclude that Dubya's outpouring of emotions for these families indicates an inherent emotional weakness.

To the strongest contrary possible, I believe it demonstrates his humanity. It also tells me of his very clear understanding of his place in our society: honored to be President of the greatest nation on earth but humble enough to "mourn with those that mourn." I have yet to see any evidence of his adoption of a "god-complex" or any narcissistic tendencies.

I pray with my 8 and 6 year old every night and before every meal for God to protect this precious human upon whom we have foisted the mantle of leadership. Thank God for answered prayers !!!

BTTT !!! I wish every single person who voted for the Gorebot would study these photos of Dubya and and admit we are so much better off that Gore lost. OK OK I know I'm dreaming!!!

A real person as opposed to a phony like Clintoon who would dye his hair to match the group he was speaking to, or Hildabeast who had her hair up to look like Rosie the Riveter at the union hall the other day. We are sooooo lucky to have a real President and First Lady now.

This is what real tears look like.

This is what feeling one's pain looks like.

This is what honesty looks like.

The contrast between the previous leader of the free world and the current one becomes more and more striking each day. Let's all remember this at the ballot box.
