I may not have agreed with all his politics but I do respect him as a man.

I figured this would get flak... Keep the political views out please, just look at the main concept, he's riding with wounded warriors and showing his respect to our military.

Given his fondness for using it, that seems appropriate!

Um.. you do realize that simply posting this is political, right? Not everyone is pro-war or pro-military. If Obama was riding a bike with a bunch of people who were affected by his health care plan, it would be similarly political.

But, like I said, it's cool to see a president on a bike. That is the only non-political thing I can say about the video

Nonsense. A major media-covered event involving a former POTUS is as political as it gets.

Bush drew a line in the sand and told the Islamic Terrorist Side of the Moslem world to leave us alone. Now we see Moslem countries getting rid of their old school tyrants and embracing a form of Democracy. Clinton wanted to be known for bringing peace to the middle east. By 2025, Bush will be known for bringing more good to the middle east than all presidents combined. It will be accomplished with the blood of many good soldiers, American and Allies. We will never know how many 9/11s were prevented because he drew the line in the sand.

Bush, the House and Senate sold the whole country out on many other issues. But the man is doing more with the citizens than any other president has done since Teddy R.

And hey, how 'bout that Michele Bachmann, isn't she just swell?

And that Rick Perry, now there's a man who was born to follow in Dubya's footsteps if ever there was one.

Dude, don't take the bait, there are much more pleasant ways to waste time than to get in a mud fight with these people.

Back to thethe non-political side of this..............

I think at least the one/only thing I like about GW is that he rides. I'd have died and gone to heaven if I got to do a ride with him.

Wonder if he has skeelz?

No no no, don't you see? After 9/11 we had to go kick somebody's ass... well ok, so it was a secular dictator who hated Islamic fundamentalists like Bin Laden and had no connection to Al Qaeda, but that's beside the point...
Jeez, you Obama-loving Marxist elitist America-haters are so picky...

I know it's almost impossible to keep clear of politics given the very nature of the thread; but if it persists this way it will get moved to P&R. Anybody care to bring it around and focus on the veterans who took part? I'm seeing a lot of prosthetics in action there. That's pretty cool.
