PRESIDENT BUSH WAVES FROM MARINE ONE, 2002-12-21 (photo)

U.S. President George W. Bush waves while standing on the steps of Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, December 21, 2002. Bush was vaccinated against smallpox on Saturday in his capacity as commander-in-chief of U.S. armed forces and was showing no side effects, a White House spokeswoman said. Eight days ago, Bush announced plans to immunize half a million troops and up to 10 million civilian health care and emergency workers against the long-dormant disease, now deemed a terrorist threat. Bush will spend the Christmas holiday in Camp David, Maryland. REUTERS/William Philpott WP/ME
