yea, so im really sick right, coughing hard as we speak. well, my mother is in the american air force, and so i get my medical care from the military. we, i was driving to the air force base here in tampa. macdill air force base. it is also the location of CENTCOM or Central Command, which is the supreme command HQ for american forces in the middle east. so they have high importance. well, bush was paying a visit some personnel on the base.
well, i get stuck at the base entrance gate, because of the president's motorcade. the police shut down the cities main avenue for about 20 minutes. and they also shut down the base traffic. well, in the distance i see a long line of motorcycle cops coming my way. ok, this is interesting. then i see dark tinted SUVS, then white vans, then 2 limosines with the american flags on the head lights. i thought to myself, "oh , that the prez!! maybe ill be able to see him, i hope they didnt tint the limo windows."
well, lo and behold, i looked hard as the limos came by, and I SAW PRESIDENT BUSH. it looked like he was sipping something and was putting it down in front of him. but it was undeniably the president himself. that was awesome.
i also shook muhammed ali's hand and got two autographs on a pair of boxing gloves and a book on islam he wrote. |

You should have ran to him, screaming your lungs off, in arab. |

| i thought i saw him once too...but then i looked up at a sign and saw that i was in the city zoo. sure, he could have been in the zoo like any other person, but in one of the cages throwing his own poo at people through the bars? not very likely he'd be doing that, now is it. |

| I saw Laura Bush's Garden Club once, at the National Cathedral. My friends and I waved up at them and some lady waved back, but it wasn't her. |

| its always pretty awesome to see a very very important person in person. you take it for granted when its always on tv and the internet, but seeing it in person is just weird. |
