The secret service is probably comprised of guys with an overdose of the protective gene. Being alpha males, they didn't shy away from ordering the crowd around to fit their whims at the Bush childhood home this morning as First Lady Laura Bush toured the house.
So it was doubly thrilling when Ms. Bush exited the house, spied some school kids in the crowd, and walked directly to them with a big smile on her face. What a class act!
Here are a few photos from the scene. In the one showing all of the photographers Laura's green sleeve can be seen in the lower right corner.
For a photo of the house without all the people around, see a February 22 entry on these pages titled The Bush Family Home - 1412 W. Ohio Avenue, Midland, Texas.
Updated 12/31/2007: Welcome visitors from linked sites. Please note that there are three houses still intact in which the Bush family lived in the Midland/Odessa area. The fire in December '07 was at the house in Odessa. Please see Who would do such a thing? for links and photos of the fire damage.
I thought that I was supposed to have the exclusive on this story! :>]

How does that work, Wallace? You called "dibs" or something?
