I don't understand the resentment toward the Bush's.....
Maybe you might understand it better if you could put YOURSELF in the same position as the Schindlers. Please try and imagine if this was YOUR daughter! Try to imagine if it was the PRESIDENT'S daughter. What do you think he would do then? Would he just say, "Oh well, I guess there is nothing I or anyone else can do, we'll just have to accept Judge Greer's defiance on the law that Congress just passed and I signed, and get along with the business of Social Security reform"? Doubt it. The Schindlers deserve exactly the same consideration, EXACTLY!!
Amazing how many people are avoiding this question, when it is posed to them. Why are they afraid to answer? If they really believed it was the right solution for their and everyone else's daughter, why not have the courage to just say so? Could it be that they know that it would not go over too well? And why wouldn't it? I believe that this is the clearest way to view this.
It has always been a luxury for all of us to go through life believing that we are moral, and that if the time should come that reqires us to demonstrate same, that we would act. Truth is, is that we seldom have these situations come up that demand proof.
This, though, is one of them. That is why so many are so uncomfortable with this, and why so many others are rising to the occasion!
I (foolishly?) remain hopeful that the president or the governor will step in and do what they would undoubtedly do for their own.
Thanks for posting.
