Photo-op with Flight 93 families scheduled for tonight

This evening, President Bush is scheduled to conduct his first major policy-related photo-op since last year's staged video conference with troops, which did not play so well publicly.  The White House is hosting a selected group of families, who lost loved ones on the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania, for a private screening of the movie "Flight 93":

President Bush invited relatives of some of the 40 passengers and crewmembers who are portrayed in United 93 to join him for a screening of the film at the White House Tuesday night.

Bush and his wife, Laura, planned to watch thefilm about the attacks in the family theater. The film focuses on thetragic drama aboard United Flight 93, the plane that crashed in ruralPennsylvania after passengers fought back against their hijackers.

"The president has always said that those whowere on the flight, that the passengers and crewmembers of the flight,were heroes," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.

Even the dumbest political strategist would admit that this private screening photo-op is part of a sustained effort by the Administration to regain the trust of the public on the issue of terrorism.  According to the latest CBS News Poll, only 46% support the President's handling of "the campaign against terrorism."
