Bush is aware of his people. He halts while walking with Laura and some dignitary...and sees the problem.
...and he goes over there HIMSELF and takes care of it. Reaching in, grabbing his man and telling the Chileans that that agent is with him and he's coming in.
"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."
Most would have wlaked right on by figuring it was beneath them to get involved. Think Clinton or Kerry.
Then, the agent is in and doing his job.
Word of Bush did will spread through the ranks like wild fire.
Bush is a leader...one that will inspire people to follow. He's not afraid to get right down to their level and get involved on behalf of his own. Says a lot.
