Hmm, I sort of remember the Pres saying the part you highlighted. It appears that this meeting with Chretien occured just a couple of weeks after 9-11, must have been shortly after the speech to Congress. I remember how we were all still emotionally reeling at that time, I know the President was no different and there was certainly no slight intended whatsoever. He had a whole lot on his mind.

Wow, thinking about that speech to Congress after 9-11. It still gives me goosebumps to remember how the leader, George W. Bush, spoke, interacted with the congressional members from both parties, shaking hands, reaching out and by his words, actions, and demeanor began healing this country. That speech was beyond powerful. It was beyond awesome. I truly can't find the word.

Thanks for the post.

Me too, and me either. I'm not sure the correct words to express our feelings about that speech exist.

I have the audio of it burned onto CD for posterity. Some day I'll get hold of the video, too. Remember Hillary!s behavior?
