The final minutes

The Kentucky Enquirer's Scott Wartman reports from CVG:

Mercer Reynolds, the Indian Hill man who served as Bush's chief fund-raiser in the 2004 election, accompanied the president back to the airport in the limousine.

Bush departed with even less fanfare than his arrival, walking up the stairs, making a perfunctory wave in a single motion. Ten minutes later -- at about 7 p.m. -- it was wheels up for Air Force One.

That puts the total time on the ground at just over three hours.
