I don't think he went too far, however. His comments were on how they loved Chelsea, how he was a good politician (he was), how he had compassion, and how he knew policy very well. All of those things are true, and none absolve him of the terrible harm he did to this country.
I can guarantee you that the democrats did not see that speech as an endorsement by President Bush. Six minutes of innocuous comments in the middle of that fiasco is not worth getting upset about, nor arguing. I doubt that the President will be appearing with Cinton again, unless Clinton shuffles off this mortal coil in the next few years.
What happened yesterday...........six minutes of VERY faint praise in the midst of a total trainwreck of an event.........is not worth anyone's precious emotional energy.
There are too many REAL things to worry about. Real threats. Real enemies. Real deceit and duplicity from the left.
Being exercised about yesterday's Presidential protocal and politeness is a waste of time and energy. The 'new tone' is a direct result of who the President IS, and it's not going to change because of griping from the peanut gallery....
