I didn’t know when I

I didn’t know when I mentioned Nixon’s 1979 visit to Bucharest that Bucharest was President Bush’s next stop; he was probably speaking there as I wrote. Here is the Fox News account of President Bush’s speech in Bucharest to an adoring crowd in pouring rain earlier today: “Bush welcomes entrance of former Soviet states into NATO.” The rain apparently ebbed as Bush stepped to the podium: “As he stepped up to the microphone after a lengthy introduction by Romania President Ion Iliesu, Bush pointed to the sky, saying a rainbow had appeared through the clouds and the rain, he added, ‘God is smiling on us.'” Beautiful!
