If the President of the US had of maybe taken a few hours out of his busy schedule down there on his ranch and maybe spoke one on one like she wanted, just maybe he could have averted all of this
How conveniently everyone forgets that she had already met with the President earlier...

Additionally, you Canadians and the American Liberals may think that it is acceptable that an entire country is managed on the basis of polls or a single mother whining about something but the rest of us most certainly do not. Thus, there was absolutely no point whatsoever in Bush "taking a few hours out of his busy schedule" because he wasn't going to change anything he was doing on the say-so of Mrs. Sheehan.

How do you know he believed otherwise? because he did 2 tours, his beliefs are opposite of hers? How sanctimonious,you have no idea what his beliefs were towards the war, so how can you say that?
I'd suggest that the probability is high that his beliefs were opposite to his mother's because the vast majority of her family distanced themselves publicly from her once she started this idiocy.

It was Cindy Sheehan who allowed herself to be manipulated by the bleeding heart liberals, (funny how they care so much about everyone but are quite happy to use and abuse a grieving mother - cynical bastards...), and took the "crusade" into the public eye... Therefore, it is her fault if she doesn't like the consequences... I'm sure she taught her son that his actions have consequences... Shame she doesn't listen to her own advice.
