"Howdy!"?
I'm assuming they'll be pretty well-behaved since Obama's SecDef was their president not to long ago among other things.

Former President George H.W. Bush submitted this letter to the Chronicle regarding President Obama's Friday visit to Texas A&M:
Howdy! As you have probably heard, I have invited the 44th president of the United States of America to come visit the Bush Library and Texas A&M, and President Obama has graciously accepted.
Along with the administration, faculty, and so many of you, I am honored that the president, our president, is taking the time and making the effort to come to College Station (on Friday) to talk about an issue that unites all Americans, namely, community service and its vast importance to our continued well-being as a nation. Our country still faces many tough challenges, and the message that will come out of our Presidential Forum on Service, I hope, is that every American regardless of age has an important part to play in helping us overcome the obstacles to our common progress.
This is not about politics. This is about the importance of service to our communities and our country.
It would be hard to imagine a more deserving college campus to host a Presidential Forum on volunteerism and community service than Texas A&M, which is, after all, a school steeped in a rich tradition of service.
That's why I am so proud to have our Bush Library and Museum and Bush School of Government and Public Service here, and I cannot wait for President Obama to experience the open, decent and welcoming Aggie spirit for himself.
This will be an important national moment, and a moment for Texas A&M to shine in the global spotlight as it always does. I sincerely hope and believe it will serve as a point of Aggie pride for many years to come.
Good Luck with that President Bush..

Both presidents Bush have been nothing but cordial and generous to Barack (mmm mmm mmm) Hussein Obama.
Why do idiots keep repeating that song?
41 was talkin' bout the children.
I'm actually there right now. People getting bussed in all over the place. Crazy signage too.
"dont' draft me bro" etc...
busing.
Texas is not a friendly place for Obama. There's no way people will miss this opportunity to protest, regardless of who asks them not to.
They took off work just to wave a sign like this?
Well - at least all the words are spelled correctly...
I believe it's grammatically incorrect.
Except he should have put a colon after "God and Obama".
He wants some of that Nobel Peace Prize action to rub off on him.
it's an opportunity for them to gather without the hood.
lol. Well... with Obama in attendance that might get too awkward.
You're still here?
Not so much, less next week.
So get this, some people are trying to camp near the nuclear reactor next to the site that he plans to land....
The security confrontations are hilarious.
That's how they greet one another on campus...yet another "long-held tradition".
Hopefully A&M behaves
Hopin the same. I know TAMU (as well as College Station/my hometown) is already viewed as a backwards-ass, redneck university...would hate for there to be damning evidence involving the leader of the free world.
I'm not worried about the students. I'd be more concerned with the bused in people.
Looks like the event went off without anyone making too much of an ass out of themselves.
