The less enlightened among us might be lead to believe that President Bush’s refusal to spend 5 minutes listening to Cindy Sheehan is a symptom of indifference. How quickly we forget:
And so, you know, I think about this every day, every single day, and will continue thinking about it, because I understand we’ve got kids in harm’s way. And I worry about their families; and I obviously, any time there’s a death, I grieve.
It may appear to you and I that Mr. Bush is spending his days fishing, biking, and attending fund raisers. What we don’t see is that on the inside, our leader is grieving. He just finds it more compassionate to keep his feelings within, rather than sharing them with mourning relatives camped a mile away.
