BEHIND THE SCENES: POTUS meets ROLLING THUNDER (read blurb!)

This is video I took using my Canon Powershot A650 still camera, on May 25, 2008. The President of the United States, George W. Bush, greeted ten members of the group Rolling Thunder on the South Lawn of the White House grounds. This video is unedited and is my viewpoint as I ran from location to location, chasing POTUS across the lawn. The man he refers to as "Artie" is Artie Muller, the Executive Director of Rolling Thunder. Since this is a smaller handheld still camera, the audio is not that fantastic and the digital zoom isn't exactly the best. However, if you've ever wondered what the view is like from the POV of a member of the Press, well, watch this five minute and fifty-one second video.

From their website: Rolling Thunder®, Inc. is a non-profit organization with over 80 chartered chapters throughout the United States and members abroad. Their membership is comprised of men and women with 40-45% being non-veterans with the balance being veterans from all wars and peace-time. Although many of its members ride motorcycles, a person does not have to own or ride a motorcycle to be a member, just the time and willingness to be an advocate for our troops, veterans, and POW/MIA's.

The way the description reads may be confusing. I have added an additional paragraph from Rolling Thunder's website (which I attributed), so that it may be clearly understood who they are.

Look close as Bush and the Rolling Thunder guys are walking away towards the White House. Is that a pair of motorcycle boots sticking out Bush's butt?

FYI Bagelofzen, Rolling Thunder is NOT a motorcycle group. Rolling Thunder is a Veterans' Rights organization. If you're going to post information, please do a little research and ensure you have it correct. And thank you for the unedited and raw footage from the meet and greet.
