If I were at sea for that long, the first thing I'd want to see is my family, not a glory hound President looking for a photo op. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I feel that there should NOT have been as much upstaging from Bush and his stupid stunt, instead he should have just focused purely on praising the brave troops who did such a great job.

"The White House initially said the carrier was too far out at sea to use a helicopter. Tuesday, Fleischer acknowledged that the ship was close enough." "Yes, Mr. President. We believe the carrier is close enough for you to land. There is a chance we can make it by helicopter."

Funny nobody complained when Clinton was doing his "World Tour" at the end of his administration.

How does Clinton even factor into this thread? Jeez, you conseratives can't dump the baggage and just can't let it go can you? Clinton has not been President for years now, get over it. :rolleyes:

Now that's bullshit. I don't care what you are registered as... you tow the Democratic Party line on every single issue. You spit out more of their propaganda then Terry McAuliffe. Even Ted Kennedy would be proud. It's actually sad that you think you are some kind of free thinker or whatever you call it but you just spit out the usual liberal crap on every single issue...every time. Your hatred for Bush is well documented. In fact it is so deep rooted and seething that you refuse to acknowledge anything good this administration has done. Tell the truth... You really wanted the war in Iraq to go bad just to have more to complain about. I think this is true .. and that's really fucked up.

Sean, did you ever serve? I can't remember. I know that when I did, pretty much every soldier I knew, would have loved to see our commander doing the types of jobs that we did... You know the dirty work, grunt work etc... Bush may have taken this opportunity to do a "photo op" but he also honored those men, by showing them that their President was a skilled and accomplished pilot just like a lot of them.... It is a major morale boost to see your leader doing your job.....

At best you could inaccurately infer that Sean hates President Bush based on posts scattered across this internet BB. I hate to shock you, but outside of your little world, that doesn't mean: "well documented." Is it true? Is ignorance really bliss? I figure if there's anyone in the world who knows the answer to that question, it's you.

Again, I've never stated that I was against guns. I am FOR gun control, and against military weapons in the hands of average citizens. The statement about uniforms, well I have no clue where the fuck that came from (madmans world maybe). I'll tell you though, your remark about the vibrator, your the expert in that area since you prefer the company of men. Samueul, No I've never served. The closest I ever got was registering for selective service when I was 18. Madman, Does not serving in the military, or not owning a hand gun (I was on the rifle team in high school) make a person less of a man?

Well, the cost of operating the jet he flew in on is apparently $7 an hour more than the chopper. What a giant waste of money. :rolleyes:
Democrats bitching about wasting taxpayers money is the pot calling the kettle black. That is all they ever do.
Clinton made a little trip after Bosnia to a carrier. His aides stole every trinket off of the ship they could get their hands on. He made that ship be delayed, and it caused them to have to sail through a giant storm, that ended up causing millions of dollars of damage to the ships. Some of them were in dry dock for repairs in Europe for months. This is a desperate attempt to make the President look bad, and to most of us, it looks pretty stupid.
Here is another subject for the liberals to chew on. Berkley is refusing to admit any new Asian students in because of SARS. They say it is to expensive to screen them, and they are not sure if they can anyway. So they are just not going to admit them. Wow! That sounds just like the racial profiling conservatives wanted after 911. The liberals comdemned it as racist. Just an example of liberal hypocrasy.

Piloting an aircraft, of any kind, is a kick in the pants. If I was Bush, I'd fly every fucking chance I could get. I wonder who he has to supply with drugs to get a chance to fly Air Force One? One of these days, I'll finish my private license . . .

How much fucking time do you liberals give them? What would be satisfactory to you? You sound like a cry baby who needs instant gratification. All you liberals were screaming "give the inspectors more time" "give the UN another 6 months"... That's all we heard leading up to the war. Now the war is over a few weeks and you cry babies are demanding WMD's already. That is beyond fucked up. Fuck You. You are no patriot. You would put your political ideals before the good of this country any day. I stand by my statement. People like you were hoping the war would go bad and a lot of soldiers would die just so the president would look bad. All because you don't like him.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-05-07-bush-landing_x.htm
Now I have no problem with the President visiting troops and congratulating them on the great job they did, but one has to wonder about this blatant photo op. What was especially troublesome was the initial cover up for this publicity stunt:
"The White House initially said the carrier was too far out at sea to use a helicopter. Tuesday, Fleischer acknowledged that the ship was close enough."
:rolleyes: The story is......this is a story? Liberal media! ...what a joke. Tailhook landing........HELL YEAH! Late? I knew a week before the carrier was in San Diego what time it would be here and when he would be here....I was bummed, cuz I had to work. Not late at all. The troops on the ship were thrilled (from the FIRST HAND discussions I've had and heard) Hell yeah its a photo op....and a well earned one at that. Your "news" source seems like the crying whinning idiots that they are. Why not e-mail the source and tell them to do some real reporting. I mean they actually took the time to PRINT that they thought the heli was too far out and in reality it was not? I'm sure there are things in the world way more important than that space filling waste of ink and paper (you environmentalists should jump all over the paper for that....the trees that gave their lives for a non-statement?)

(not appointed like Bush) Uh, Bush was elected just like every other president this great nation has had, by winning the electoral college. Sad news for the libs though, there could be a clean sweep in '02.
