A police officer in President Bush's motorcade crashed his motorcycle and died Monday, less than a year after a crash in Hawaii killed another motorcycle officer accompanying the president. Bush had been headed to the airport after attending a fundraiser for Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M.

Who leaves behind a family. Very sad.

FROM the KOAT News site http://www.koat.com/news/13986586/detail.html#

Rio Rancho Department of Public Safety spokesman John Francis has identified the officer as 40-year-old Germaine Casey. Casey was with the University of New Mexico police department for one year and with the Rio Rancho police force for two years. Francis said Casey had received special training in riding in motorcades and had previously escorted Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney on separate occasions.

Casey was at the front of the motorcade on Yale Boulevard near the airport, when he went off the road and hit a tree at approximatley 1:00 p.m. According to Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz, President Bush saw the accident as he passed by and called John Francis to offer his condolences.

Casey was taken to University of New Mexico Hospital and died on arrival.

"It means a lot for the president of the U.S. to take time out of his busy schedule and call us to express his deepest sympathy," Francis said. "We are certainly in a time of sorrow right now for our fallen officer, this is our first officer that we have lost in the line of duty".

Francis said Bush will also be calling Casey's family Monday evening. Casey had a wife and two children.

2. WTF?
"It means a lot for the president of the U.S. to take time out of his busy schedule and call us to express his deepest sympathy," Francis said. "We are certainly in a time of sorrow right now for our fallen officer, this is our first officer that we have lost in the line of duty".

Take time out of his busy fundraising and vacation schedule???

3. Fundraisers and military bases.
"Bush had been headed to the airport after attending a fundraiser for Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M."

Our Chimp-in-Chief does nothing but raise money for fellow pugs and flap his gums at military bases while large numbers of local law enforcement along with the SS provide huge motorcades for his sorry ass. This is so sad for this gentleman's family. Working to serve his country while the Chimperor "works" once again to serve his party.
