Dude, Marine One is the call sign of the Helo, not Navy One. Only one Navy bird has officially had it when GWB did his stupid victory speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Bush's speech was actually fine. He was very specific and accurate about the successful first push and explicit that the engagement was far from over. The big banner was hung up by other people in the government and the media lied about the messaging.
Seriously, you can go watch or read his speech now.
Yep surprised he held it together, sorta. Started to stumble just a little at the 20 minute mark, but seemed to avoid disaster. He even got to mention his old man and Scranton. I was waiting for the empty seat at the dinner table line, but was disappointed.
Of course we dont know how many takes it took ? And I'd have to guess that the boost charge needed to get to do a half hour speech probably impacts on any remaining ability to sort of keep thing together ?
Its a safe bet that they need to have him do best part of at least a year in order to have any credence when the inevitable happens, and they want to play the 'Who Knew' card. So appearances and speeches will have to be rationed.

You know it doesn't matter what he said. The picture is all anyone is going to remember, especially when compared to what came after.
And the pilot, the squadron XO, almost missed the last wire.
