This quote jumped out at me from the WashPost Sunday story about President Bush's decision not to meet with Cindy Sheehan or other war protesters:
Aides said they discussed Sheehan several more times in the days that followed, and Bush said when he and his national security team met with reporters: "I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She has every right in the world to say what she believes. This is America. She has a right to her position. And I've thought long and hard about her position."
Two days later, Bush explained his approach to journalists invited to ride mountain bikes on his ranch. "I think it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say," he said. "But I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life."
Go on with your life??? Funny, that doesn't sound like a man who's agonizing over the deaths and maiming of thousands of American G.I.s he sent to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq... just how many naps does this guy get on a given day?
