Clinton was here to speak at West Texas A&M's Distinguished Lecture Series. He talked about the Flight 93 National Memorial and about his time after leaving office. WT donated $100,000 to the Flight 93 Memorial in exchange for Clinton to speak on campus.
I really wanted to go to the speech, but my blue dress was at the cleaner's. The TV station reported that the event was packed with area Democrats..... all eight of them! I have to give Clinton some credit, though. He is a great speaker, and he definitely knows his way around an intern. I bet the Secret Service loved Clinton. Imagine the fun they had during his time in office! Seriously, the speech raised $100,000 for a good cause: the Flight 93 Memorial.
George Bush's visit to the Panhandle was big news, too. Bush joined 20 military servicemen wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan for the Warrior 100-K mountain bike ride in Palo Duro Canyon State Park.
It was part of Bush's Military Service Initiative to honor the sacrifice and bravery of the wounded warriors. This was his second year to ride in the Warrior 100-K. Last year, the event was at Big Bend Ranch State Park, and Bush led 14 veterans on the ride. This year, he wanted to bring the three-day ride to Palo Duro Canyon.
The event also raises awareness for groups like the Wounded Warrior Project, which aids injured soldiers. Bush has done so much to help our veterans. He is really a class act!
Both Clinton and Bush deserve praise for their work last week to benefit projects like the Flight 93 Memorial and Wounded Warriors. They are patriots for their dedication! Meanwhile, our current Comedian-in-Chief was off making the rounds on late-night TV. Barack Obama was busy cracking jokes on Jimmy Fallon 'Late Night' and practicing his act for the White House Correspondents Dinner.
I guess we know who's looking out for the best interests of the country, and it ain't Obama!
