PRESIDENT BUSH PHONES ROCKEY FROM AIR FORCE ONE
August 29, 2007 (Second Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina)
At 5pm today Rockey's cell phone rang and the conversation went like this:
Man: Mr. Vaccarella?
Rockey: Yep.
Man: This is Air Force One. The President of the United States wants to speak
with you.
Rockey: Thank you.
Bush: Rockey?
Rockey: Mr. President?
Bush: Yeah.
Rockey: I appreciate you calling me.
Bush: Watcha doing these days Rock?
Rockey: I just opened up a pizza restaurant and we're back in our house.
Bush: Great. Hey, sorry I couldn't take you up on your invitation to dinner and a movie but I was really busy. With my schedule and security it was impossible.
Rockey: I see you had dinner at Dookie Chase.
Bush: Yeah
Rockey: My pizza's better than theirs.
Bush: (Laughs)...I have your movie in my hand and Laura and I are going to watch it tonight in the White House.
Rockey: I hope you like it.
Bush: Donald Powell said it was really good.
Rockey: It is.
Bush: I'll get back to you on it.
Rockey: OK.
Bush: Rock you're a good man.
Rockey: Thank you very much Mr. President you are too.
Bush: Next time I'm in town I'm coming to eat at your place.
Rockey: I look forward to it.
Bush: See you later Rock.
Rockey: Bye Mr. President.
