Bush on Albania: I Had The Time of My Life - Wristwatch or Not

The White House has denied reports that President George W. Bush's wristwatch was removed by a spectator in a crowd and stolen.

A video is lighting up the Internet claiming to show an Albanian man reach out, grab and remove the president's watch from his left wrist.

Tony Snow, the White House press secretary, said this afternoon that the video is legitimate but the story of the stolen watch is not. He claims the president took the watch off and placed it in his pocket.

However, watching this video, you can clearly see the watch on Bush's wrist and then someone grabs his wrist, his arm goes down and when it comes back up the watch is gone.

Apparently, FOX News has another video angle (not yet available) on the president which shows the president removing the wristwatch himself and apparently putting it in his pocket, which would support the White House's version of the story.

President Bush received a hero's welcome in Albania -quite a startling scene really and it blows out of the water myths that all Europeans hate Bush.

The Albanians, by their own account, love Bush and the United States. The latter part is very reassuring considering the mess Bush has made of U.S. foreign policy, but the Bush loving is almost surreal.

President Bush seemed to really enjoy all of the cheering and frenzy of gaggles of people trying to reach out and touch him and shake his hand.

It may just be a match made in heaven. Can we switch leaders? They can have Bush and we get the Albanian guy. No?

"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1/17/1961, addressed the nation on his last day in office.
