Rolling Thunder

Rolling Thunder makes the news:

For 21 years now, Rolling Thunder has led a "Ride for Freedom" along the National Mall during Memorial Day weekend, a full-throttle demonstration in support of soldiers held captive or missing in action. On Sunday, riders began at the Pentagon, rode across the Memorial Bridge and gathered at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
I've ridden in local events with these folks. Good people, for sure.

The President had some nice words:
"You've done a lot for the country, and the troops appreciate you, and the veterans appreciate you, and your president appreciates you," Bush told the group.
Looking at our current set of heirs apparent, I wonder which of them would meet with a bunch of bikers and say things like that?

Here's a hint: There wouldn't be a "D" involved.
