Wow. That's really awesome! I'm assuming that the Secret Service went nuts and inspected the bot before hand, and had someone posted right behind the driver at all times?

That's really cool!

This is a GREAT shot!!!

Is a story on this running anywhere tomorrow?

Ahem......"where are the President's safety glasses???"

Yeah, someone was going to say it eventually.

This is a really cool pic. Digging the Prez's tie, too.

There are a few others that I will post when thye get cleared. Several members of the official White House press corps were also in attendance, and are starting to post their own photos. Some of the more interesting ones from Reuters can be seen here. Although the best one so far is here on Getty Images (we can't post these directly on CD, since they are copyrighted, but we can link to them). The President's expression is priceless, as Moe-zilla was approaching rather quickly at the time, and had just missed clipping a VERY EXPENSIVE crystal chandelier by about 1/2" during the approach.

I have a feeling the faces that President Bush made in some of those photos may end up on Leno or other late night tv shows...

This makes me like the president more for some reason.

It doesn't look like an expression of excitement to me...

President Bush's face is priceless in that Getty image! I can so see that face dancing in the next Jib-Jab cartoon! Kudos to whoever was driving MOE-zilla at the time. You made my day!

This is great for FIRST and MOE + FVC and FLL teams. Very well deserved.
