Poll question: If he had it to do over again, would Bush have met Cindy Sheehan on Day 1?
Obviously (I think), the Chimp's handlers blundered.

Not anticipating that Cindy Sheehan's vigil would resonate with the public and snowball into the story it has, they didn't dissuade him from his instinctive reaction of arrogance and laziness in refusing to meet her.

If they had it to do over again, do you think they would have sent him out the first day to nip this in the bud? Or, do you think that, the Chimp being the Chimp, he still would have refused to meet her?

1. he realizes, ( well, his handlers at least) that this has bitten them
on the ass.

3. Hindsight may be lost on him, but not on people like Rove.
If they could take it back, he'd invite Cindy into the ranch, have a nice "I'm so sorry... really, I am!" moment, and then send her packing.

5. I'm sure Rove would advise him to do that...
...but you don't think he'd overrule him, just this once?

"I don' wanna meet her! Don' wanna, don' wanna, don' wanna!!!!"

7. Yes, but Rove is too busy covering his own sorry ass right now.

4. Bush is a ass and doesn't care
what others think. I bet he steals from his own mother when he can. Have I told y'all how much I HATE these people.

8. He doesn't care; he doesn't have to.
It's how he believes a resolute leader should behave.

6. Let's see...
"If Bush had Iraq to do over again would he have invaded?"

The fact that these chuckleheaded nimrods are prepping to attack Iran illustrates that hindsight IS completely lost on them. So, yeah, they'd do it exactly the same way all over again.
