Bush sacrifices for the troops
May 13, 2008 at 6:29 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in Don't PanicNo one can say President Bush isn’t making personal sacrifices for U.S. troops.
From Politico:
Q Mr. President, you haven’t been golfing in recent years. Is that related to Iraq?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, it really is. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.
Q Mr. President, was there a particular moment or incident that brought you to that decision, or how did you come to that?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man’s life. And I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, it’s just not worth it anymore to do.
Here’s the video.
Is callowness an impeachable offense?

I wonder if there is anyhting Bush can say or do that isn’t wrong to some people.
There is plenty he has done wrong… I have a list, but EVERYTHING isnp’t wrong. If he were still playing golf he would be criticized for that.
Your starting to souhd like Sugg. Yuck!
