And it's all about getting re-elected

From Lincoln to Nixon, our leaders have always paid respects to the dead heroes and consoled the living...George W. Bush, our president who wants everyone to know he is the commander in chief, has yet to attend a single funeral for any of the soldiers he sent off to die for our country...I can hear the Bush re-election machine chirping, "As long as the president doesn't attend any funerals -- as long as he isn't pictured next to a soldier's casket or consoling a grieving widow -- then it's America's war, not his." That's it in a nutshell; Bush doesn't go to service members' funerals because it's not good for his re-election campaign.
