President Bush's Grand Sacrifice

Many people have criticized the Bush administration and their enablers for the historical lack of sacrifice this country has asked of its leaders and of itself during this time of war, choosing instead overly conservative policies and a shielding from the public of the larger horrors of the war.

Well all you assholes and cynics owe our great leader an apology-

US President George W. Bush said in an interview out Tuesday that he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of US soldiers killed in the conflict in Iraq, now in its sixth year.

"I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal," he said in an interview for Yahoo! News and Politico magazine.

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf," he said. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them."

God bless you, sir. You make that cripple FDR look like a selfish prick.
