Did you get the same impression that I did about Barbara sort of pulling him along . It looked like Bush SR would have shaken a whole bunch of peoples hands

[oceanview]

indeed. makes you wonder what is going through people's minds - are they so plugged into themselves as political figures that they forget what is going on around them?

[ELS]

Yeah, it seemed like that to me. Pres. Bush looked like he was viewing the crowd for people he knew as they were leaving and was ready to start chatting with all of them.

Nope, thats not right.

Bush even said he didn't want to interrupt the people mourning Reagan.

He was in and out and did what he intended so as not to interrupt what others were doing anymore than necessary.

He has also referred to the White House as "The People's House", and that is how he views this. Should he make a photo op out of it like Kerry did? Is that what you want?

Kennedy didn't even glance at the casket, didn't stop from what I saw; if you are going to rag on someone, rag on him.

Laura was NOT pulling GW around, either. If you saw, GW led her to it, led her in prayer and then exiting as well.

You guys need to let this one rest until you have viewed it again and wait for GW's remarks on it.
