Pres. Bush to eat at GF Today

[Pluto4President]

President George W. Bush (news - web sites) arrived at Orlando International Airport Thursday morning to a warm welcome from Central Florida residents.






It's the 17th time Bush has visited Florida since he's taken office, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported.


Upon stepping off Air Force One, Bush was greeted by several Central Florida dignitaries and official greeter Matilda Walthers. Walthers was chosen because of her extensive work in the Central Florida community.


"He's the sweetest thing I've ever met in my life. He was so adorable and so sweet. He kissed me and hugged me, and I thought that was pretty cool. He said he heard a lot about me, and he had been briefed on a lot of the things I had done and all the good things I had done. He was very proud of me," said Walthers.


"It's neat to see where the president sits, where he makes some of these decisions from, and see how things work. When he's flying on the plane, you can kind of picture what room he might be in or how things are handled," said Dee DeLaCruz, who was lucky enough to tour Air Force One.


<b>After about 15 minutes of a meet-and-greet, Bush left in his presidential motorcade headed to the Grand Floridian Resort, where he will be attending a $2,000-a-plate campaign fund-raiser. </b>


The Englewood Neighborhood Center is also one of Bush's destinations while in Central Florida. There he will speak to residents on the topic of medicare.


The president's stay in Central Florida is expected to last four hours. He will depart at 3 p.m.

I second that Amen! Can you imagine not knowing the President was coming to your resort and in he walks as your heading out to the monorail!! Its not to say he walked through the front lobby, but just knowing he was there, that would be very .

LOL......Dubya was here, Winston-Salem, NC, last week for a $2,000 a plate lunch. Lunch consisted of a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with chips & fruit. And we thought food was expensive at WDW!!!!!!!
