Above, President Bush encourages Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., to wave to the traveling press corps after Air Force One landed yesterday at the 911th Airlift Wing at Pittsburgh International Airport.

Mr. Bush attended a fund-raiser for Mr. Santorum last night in Sewickley Heights. While at the airport, he also presented the President's Volunteer Service Award to Edy Hope, a volunteer with Carebreak at the Watson Institute in Sewickley who helps a family with a 6-year-old autistic girl.

Bush opponents, below, organized a demonstration in downtown Sewickley last night.
