The stark contrast between Bush and Clinton is part of what is boosting Bush's poll numbers this week.

The Democrats will be screaming that this picture exploits 9/11 for political purposes. But Fahrenheit 9/11 doesn't, of course.

I hadn't seen that picture before. It reminds me how I can't understand why so many people refuse to see his innate goodness and honesty, and hate him so passionately.

I've read this before, and loved it.

Now, I think that some Republican group should pay for this to be an ad for the re-election of GWB.

In print, at first, with narration, then...at the end...the photo and that last great line about the 90s and character counting.

Let America see what their choice should be in this next election.

Real... or botox.

Moreso than any potential groping, Slick would never have been satisfied with there simply being one picture of that event, taken by the girl's father. He would have summoned an army of WH photographers, and if necessary, would have re-enacted the compassionate moment. That is the difference between what Bush would do versus Clinton. Bush respected this girls dignity as a human being, whereas Clinton would simply have viewed it as a photo op.

If it were Clinton, he would have grabbed the girls ass.

President Clinton mouthed, repeatedly, "I Feel Your Pain".

President Bush needs to say no such thing. He knows the pain that others suffer. yeah... He has An American "President's Way of Knowing". :)

Perhaps they were wrong in the nineties--- maybe character does matter.

In the end, yes, character does matter. And all the athiests, welfare parasites, abortion enthusiasts, condom throwers, screeching feminists, Hollywood drunks, college professors, losers, weirdos, and malcontents who make up the Democrat base will not be enough to overcome the will of America's working, taxpaying, traditional families to make sure that character counts in a President.

Bush, in a landslide.

Beautiful. Need I say more? I guess a picture does say a thousand words.

John Kerry doesn't have that in him. He'd tell her "that's a touching, touching story" wipe away an imagined tear, and go on to shake hands with somebody more important--somebody who he deigns means something.

Good post and good story.

However, Lebanon is NOT a 'Cincinnati suburb.'

It is a charming town and the food at the Golden Lamb is excellent; and some of the rooms have a great history with them.

Bill Clinton "felt our pain..." But President Bush has compassion, hope, and strength. And the courage to do what needs to be done to protect our country. Amazing what this photo captured.
