Fox news video of Bush leaving Washington for Andrews. Looks like Bambi and Michelle are there to make sure he doesn't steal the silverware or something.....

#5  I watched it live from my balcony. Saw the take off and when the guy said they were headed west toward VA, Mrs. Billy and I went out the balcony. They continued to just about the Lincoln, turned south and no doubt gave W a good view of Arlington. Turned southeast toward the Jefferson and we watched til they were beyong visual. God's Speed Sir

#4  I watched the AP live feed of Marine 1 departing. It was very poignant...they didn't cut away.

George and Laura made their good-byes on the stairway for the last time. Then Marine 1 buttoned up, ran up the rotors and headed out. A long sweep over the Capitol and the White House, and the camera stayed with it as it slowy dwindled in the atmospheric distance.

Good luck, sir, and thank you!

No, it looks like the new president is showing respect to his predecessor by walking Mr. and Mrs. Bush to their transportation, which is as it should be. It would be very nice if President Obama and his people copy the Bushs' example when it's time for them to leave, rather than the Clintons'.
