Thanks, Tz. As others have posted this is yet another manifestation of "compassionate conservatism." A nice opportunity for the folks to blow off some steam or shed some tears in front of the cameras.
Well, if President Bush DOESN'T do this, do you think the Rats are going to sit quietly by? Nope, they will have their own "feel your pain" on an ABC special, and then we will be playing catch-up.
I don't like these types of programs much, but President Bush is very good with people, and an event like this will draw interested viewers, restore a bit of confidence, and take another opportunity from the democrats.
