"President Bush . . . Shameful" (Steve Clemons)

excerpt:

Ronald Reagan would have stopped his car, if for no other reason that to hold Cindy Sheehan for a few moments, to express the regrets of a nation that her son was lost, and to thank her -- even though he might not have made her and many of us believers in this war.

Bill Clinton would have had Cindy in to the ranch and made a summit of it.

George Bush drove by. . .on the way to a fundraiser. Shameful.

He should have stopped, made a gesture -- even if she stood on the opposite side of his policies.

1. I'm sure he made a 'gesture' while driving by

[Ilsa]

3. Yes, he's been caught in that act a few times, hasn't he.

W. is a tasteless, classless spoiled cowardly frat boy.

2. No matter how much the rw slams Cindy, chimp's arrogance continues to

to take it's toll.

4. It's worth noting that the author is no left-winger, not by a long shot.

In face Steve Clemons cofounded the Nixon Center in Washington, DC and was its first Executive Director.

Dismay with Bush more and more transcends political affiliation.

5. Aren't freepers always sending around chain emails

with lame-o stories of how bush quietly (because the liberal media won't report it) meets with people, holds their hands, prays with them, blah blah blah? I'm sure everyone's inbox has been polluted with these from time to time.

6. He came to NC for a fundraiser Last Fall and his motorcade sped by

he saw us behind our "Free Speech Barricade" where the SS had finally corraled us after much harassment and I glimpsed his face with his hand in a half wave and the smirk on his face in that single moment was something I will never forget. It was pure evil. It was only by accident that I happened to catch his face because the black SUV's were jockeying into position so that he wouldn't see our signs but there was a tiny break and I saw that face.

He's protected wherever he goes, but there's no way he could have avoiced seeing Cindy or those crosses and that he didn't have the grace and confidence to get out and talk with her and give her a hug, and we know he knew that protestors were here in NC because the limo sped up just when it came to our baracade so it was determined that they would try to get by fast...and he missed an opportunity then to get out of his limo on that country road and shake a few hands and address our concerns.

He's truly an arrogant psychopathic person. He feels no pain for anyone.
