Gimme a break. The question of the day is, “Should the President be watching CNN (etc.) non-stop so that he sees what Americans are seeing about the war?”<\/p>\n
Which question seems to be particularly imprortant to CNN (etc.).<\/p>\n
The underlying question seems to be, if the President orders military action, should he be forced to watch the big booms, and realize that people are dying <\/i>out there.<\/p>\n
Well, if he’s so heartless or stupid as to not realize that, watching it isn’t going to make any difference.<\/p>\n
If anyone thinks that Bush is not <\/i>seeing what’s going on in Iraq, even if it’s he’s not glommed to Fox News or MSNBC or ABC or anyone else, I think they’re just silly.<\/p>\n
And if Bush should be forced to watch what the American populace is watching, so that he can relate to their concerns and fears — does that mean he has to watch American Idol<\/i>, too? Come on — not even Bush deserves that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
