snugs I agree with you totally that they should not publicly state their disagreements with the President but should do so privately...it drives me crazy when that's done but he always turns the other cheek...that's how he was raised....but what was so telling to me was when his dad President Bush 41 broke down when he was in Florida at a legislative event honoring his son Jeb now the former Gov of FL...he was proud of both of his sons but he was very hurt by those who speak out publicly against them from "friends"...I know it's caused some problems with our former First Lady and she is not known for holding her tongue when you speak untoward her children...you'd think by now their necks would be sore from whiplash:)
I did not know about the one in Florida I remember reading and seeing photos of the event was in Dubai where he got very upset.
