Free speech..I must say that Bush has displayed more class in this regard than other world leaders. How many apologies has Bush received from world leaders when he shows up in Europ or S.America?
Class is not the word I would have chosen. He basically apologized for this woman exercising free speech, right after giving Hu a lecture on free speech. Good one, Bush.
Free speech..Ignoring proticals, manners, civility, the goals of the President and the Administration in regards to China, entering the WH grounds under false pretenses (probably)and creating a disruption for her own pet causes cannot be excused under "Free Speech".
There is Free Speech and then there inappropriate behavior, which this performance was.
But to be honest, I am kinda glad she did what she did, screw the Chinese.
