Awesome short about President Bush's first pitch at the World Series. No matter your thoughts on him or decisions he made later in his presidency, at this moment in history he was awesome. Jeter's comments to him in the warm up area at the 15:45 mark of the video are great.

For all of the bad and sad around 9/11 I must say that the lack of divisiveness that followed is very much missed today. I wish we could come together without tragedy preceding it.

Well said and thanks for a great video.

Saw him (have a photo somewhere) throw out the First Pitch on Opening Day in Cincy--he was better than the mayor (who threw his into the dugout). Of course the then senator from Kentucky was a bit better.....

I will never forget that the root cause of the divisiveness that you decry stemmed from one group of Americans asking another group of Americas "Why do you hate America?" over and over again.

root cause of the divisiveness

one group of Americans

"Root cause" is worth repeating. At the risk of sending what could have been a positive thread to the Test Board cesspool, I get it. Keep it simple...its better for you and really all you can handle. People who think like you on both sides are why there will always be divisiveness.
