  ""As opposed to coming in early and actually "saving" taxpayers money""
  

  This does not pass the logic test. The ship would have come in on time anyway, so the families could be there when it docked, instead of at night or 3:00 am.Ceremonies, etc., were planned to take place, during the day, anyway. They were at sea for over nine months!

  If you feel this way, then you respect no one, not even the families of the crew. I disagree. Why do you look for grief? My God, you would think after killing two of your myths, you would show us some slack...

  Well then, I stand corrected, perhaps his photo op did not cost us anything at all, except for the flight cost. I still don't like Bush.

  Every one does it, even Truman:

  Flash Back:::::::1946

  Carrier Roosevelt Taking Truman To Big Navy Show; President To Get First Hand Review
  Alexandria Gazette
  4/22/1946
  
  By United Press
  
  President Truman is seeing one of the greatest shows on earth today-and from the best seat in the house. The Chief Executive is aboard the Navy’s mightiest carrier-the Franklin D. Roosevelt-for a first hand review of the brand of action which swept the Pacific clean of Japanese warships.
  
  Shortly after breakfast, Mr. Truman and his party were transferred in a launch from the Presidential yacht Williamsburg to the carrier F.D.R. in Hampton Roads, Va.
  
  Both the F.D.R. and an accompanying flat-top, the Princeton, gave the commander-in-chief a 21 gun salute. Then he climbed briskly up the gangplank, while the boatswain blew his shrill pipe, and the side-boys stood at attention. He was greeted on the hangar deck by Admiral Mark Mitscher, commander of this special task force, and other high ranking officers aboard.
  
  Maneuvers in Atlantic
  
  The two carriers pulled up anchor soon after the President was aboard the Roosevelt, and set out for the Atlantic where they will conduct maneuvers off the eastern seaboard for two days.
