[history]
President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night.
Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. Bush noticed the fracas after posing for pictures on a red carpet with the summit host, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife and first lady Laura Bush.

Beats Kerry blaming the Secret Service for everything and Clinton using them to conceal the affairs of the day.

Contrast this with the Kerry ski slope incident.

For some reason this makes me smile ... I guess the idea of the Prez bailing out a Secret Service agent is just comical.

If I was guarding the President, I would not let anyone keep me out. Kudos to the agent, and to that great cowboy, George W. Bush.

Here's the part not included in the [post...says a ;lot for the President.
"Chilean security tried to stop the president's Secret Service from accompanying him," said White House deputy press secretary Claire Buchan. "He told them they were with him and the issue was resolved."
"They are with me...if they don't come in, I don't come in". Issues settled.

The last paragraph was the best...
"Chilean security tried to stop the president's Secret Service from accompanying him," said White House deputy press secretary Claire Buchan. "He told them they were with him and the issue was resolved."
He spoke, and things were resolved. My heroes have always been cowboys.

To paraphrase a great line from ' The Right Stuff'-- " Is that a man we got in there?" " You're damned right it is!"
