But not all the people are.
I enjoyed the President's visit today. Not enjoyed was an editorial masquerading as news by AP writer and pisser-on of cornflakes Scott Lindlaw:
As Bush peered into each car's passenger window, a Secret Service agent leaned into the driver's side, keeping a close eye. White House aides hovered nearby, ensuring that a mob of journalists captured the scene of the president as empathizer in chief.
That the governor has a brother who can hook us up with $2 billion in aid is a wonderful thing. Charley just about emptied our pockets; Frances is picking out the lint. Quite frankly, we could use a cash infusion.
This won't matter to those people who live here, but whose hearts lie elsewhere. It does to this Florida gal, though.
Thanks for coming down, Dubya. Thanks for that big ol' check. And thanks for helping out at the distribution center.
UPDATE:
Powerline is saying they believe it was this very same Scott Lindlaw who wrote the fake boo'ing story.
Amazing pics!
And just like a normal guy, he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work. The cynic in me has to note that Kerry cannot do squat to compare to this.

The AP writer seems to think that his fellow journalists are remote-controlled. Maybe they are, but it's not by Dubya.
