Welcome, George

Yesterday, President Bush visited the North State to view the wildfires and encourage the firefighters. My comment, as seen on TV, was:

["Of course, life won't change much because President Bush visited, but,] remembering the undeserved abuse he took over Katrina, he had to make a timely appearance. We were honored to have him, because we have always appreciated how much he cares about our safety, and we thank him for his humanity."

As Air Force I was taking off, I felt a surge of pride, and wondered whether or not it had a full tank of fuel. Of course, he was only going to Napa, a short hop, so maybe only a few pounds would be sufficient. I hope he didn't have to splash down in Clear Lake.
