"Americans want to know that their president leads a balanced life." [View All]

[kentuck]

So said George W Bush.

He also said he "needs to get on with his life"... As if something is keeping him from enjoying his life? What would a parent that lost a child in his unnecessary war in Iraq think of that remark? He wants to get on with his life but their children will never have a life to get on with. It was so insensitive and unsympathetic as to be unreal. How could anyone say such a thing?

As Eleanor Clift noted, people don't want to know if their president leads a balanced life....they only want to know that their president is balanced.
