it's not that complicated, fellas...and it doesn't even need to be that political.
the Prez could take all the wind out of this story today by stopping by her little encampment outside the ranch on his way to wherever, simply sitting down with this woman privately, and letting her vent for 10 minutes. end of story.
but i don't think he has the heart...this is the same president who is never ever allowed to be in any kind of unscripted situation, with members of the public, where all the questions and answers aren't carefully orchestrated. this president is only capable of discussing his actions in front of carefully screened audiences, each of whom has signed a loyalty oath, who are guaranteed not to ask any uncomfortable questions. citizens with the wrong t-shirts or or bumper stickers are dragged away from his events by force, even arrested.
this president loathes accountability, neither he or his handlers will ever put him in a situation where he might have to personally account for his decisions to someone who didn't drink the kool-aid. he just doesn't have the balls.
it's not about what kind of president Bush is - it's about what kind of man he is.
