Re: Bush spoke on FIRST
This entire discussion frankly confuses me.
I see Robotics as a Haven from politics, discluding the threads, which are just plain entertaining at this point.

However, I see robotics as a place where there's more to think about, I hope, than what political party one stands for. To be honest, while I am very flattered as a FIRSTer that our organization was honored by past Presidents and hopefully will continue to be honored, I honestly don't like the idea of it being used as a political tool.

The FIRST organization will be just a photo op to the candidates/presidents until they get a true chance, as President Bush Sr. apparently did, to experience the competition season. Maybe we should work for that instead of arguing which president did it?
