Ascione is just over five feet; her late brother was 6 feet 7. "My whole life, he used to put his hand on the top of my head and just hold it there, and it drove me crazy," she says. When Bush saw that she was crying, he leaned over and put his hand on the top of her head and drew her to him. "It was just like my brother used to do," she says, beginning to cry at the memory.

Maybe the Lord was trying to soften her hardened heart by putting it in the President's mind to touch her in that way. He could have touched her arm or her hand, or even her face, but it's interesting that that touch seemed to be just what she needed.

A very good story that shows just how petty Cindy Sheehan is being. She's trying to paint the President as someone who doesn't care about the men and women he sends into harm's way, and this shows that it is just not true.

That's exactly what I thought when I read that.

I'm going to pray harder than ever for our president, the emotional toll of these meetings have to be horrendous, yet he continues.
