I see a look of pain in his face, not anger. He's genuinely hurting for this girl's loss. God Bless President Bush.

I have tears, and I can't even see the picture.

God blessed us with this president.

My wife started crying when she read that in the paper today. Very moving story.

Yeah, the paper credits the father's name under the picture.

Boy, he looks like he's gonna cry (just like me, sniff sniff, wipe eyes)

At least he doesn't have to say "I feel your pain" because people can see it. What a good person. And he really seems to have comforted her.

The look is a familiar one to me. I have seen it on many a mans face. It says his emotions are being held in check through the strength of his will and those emotions are sadness, anger, empathy and a helpless feeling that springs forth from knowing there is nothing you can do to change what is done.

Actually, I interpret the look in the President's eyes as pain. Pain for her.

Nobody can deny that the President is a good man.

Oh, they'll try. He is quite possibly the most genuine person to be president since Truman.

"The way he was holding me, with my head against his chest, it felt like he was trying to protect me," Ashley said. "I thought, 'Here is the most powerful guy in the world, and he wants to make sure I'm safe.'

He does, baby girl, he does.

That is exactly what he is trying to do Ashley.

I said the same thing.
This pic and story needs to be run on the front page of every newspaper in the country,
but it won't, It doesn't make Bush look bad..
Thanks for the ping Johnny!
