I still feel it's because he's covering his brother's rear due to Jeb signing that new hospice ruling. In '99, Jeb signed into law a statute stating that it was ok to withdraw feeding tubes. If Jeb saved Terri, the media would crucify him. Of course, saving Terri was Jeb's only hope of the presidency, so he's a lame duck as of today.
No, I've been talking about Jeb Bush all this time, not the President....sorry.
