I'm the first? Really? I guess it goes to show you just how far off the mark European media can be when it comes to the US. Perhaps you should remember this next time you try to claim expertise of American words and actions....

And coming aboard the carrier in flightdress, and a fighterplane as taxi as if he had shared any persoanl risks for health and life like those he send into war - while always having successfully avoided active combat assignment in Vietnam... Reminded me of "Hot Shots" a bit...

All that has nothing to do with what you claimed (incorrectly) that he said.

And so what if Bush rode in a military aircraft? He is a former fighter pilot after all. If I were president i'd wrangle a ride like that too. CiC does and should have some perks. Heck Teddy Roosevelt once took a ride in a submarine, submerged too, while they were still experimental, and he was only a former assistant secretary of the Navy (and Spanish-American war hero).

Besides, anyone who has made one can tell you that a tail hook landing on a carrier is anything but lacking in personal risk.

The bottom line here is you have way over stretched in your latest attack on our President. You should do the right thing and admit it, better yet stop acting like Mr. Know-it-all all the time.
