I JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING THE PRESIDENT
Me | 10/17/01 | left_coast_conservative

I just got back from watching our President's motorcade as it went through downtown Sacramento to Memorial Auditorium where he made a speech. We were standing along the sidewalk when he went by and he looked at us and waved. We had signs and flags.

Then when we were walking back to work we saw some peaceniks and we stopped on the opposite corner. We started chanting "USA" and "No Negotiations." Some of them came over and got in our face and the police arrested one. We drew quite a crowd of people on our side.

I'm so glad you took the "bull" by the horn on the streets. WAY TO FREEP THE BRAINLESS LEFTISTS!

His speech was on FOXNEWS and it was great!

The crowd at the meeting was very energized !

It sure looked good on the tube when the crowd sang God Bless America.
I think Bush was almost brought to tears, I know I was.
Hopefully someone that was there will get some comments on here!

Seeing you was a big highlight in the President's life too.
I think the second thing he mentioned in his remarks was how great it was to see the people along his motorcade route!

In his speech, he did thank all you folks standing out there on the side of the street/road. He did.

Thanks for the post. Good job. You'll be glad to know that during his speech the president noted and thanked those "hundreds" of people like you who were lining the streets to show their support.

I know JUST how you feel. On innauguration day, I stood along the fence with my smallish sign with a big W on it, feet frozen, sign wet having been dropped more than once, as the presidential motorcade drove by on way to stands near the WH. At the last possible moment, Laura pointed out the sign to him and he looked around, smiled and flashed the famous W hand sign. My frozen feet, cold hands were forgotten immediately. I felt warmed head to toe. Forever, that is a perfect moment in my life and I relive the joy every time I think of it....glad you got to see such a good, good man and such an excellent leader of our nation.

Yup, sure did. Also, wasn't Lee Greenwood with the president?

Thanks for being there, and thanks for not allowing the peaceniks to use apathy to bolster their cause.
