I loved GWB's comments yesterday when he related this part of the conversation and then made the comment that what he said to them was sort of like "the check's in the mail"--as if it was nice of him to invite them but they wouldn't ever hear about it again. I just love it that GWB and his people actually remembered to make good on this invitation! So cool.
HOW can people hate this man so?
I don't know. Something is seriously wrong. To think that so many of them can go around thinking that GWB's predecessor was so wonderful--and then when they can see a man of truly good character and strength they can't recognize it--it makes no sense.
He is a man of integrity. Others have told me that when he says something like that, one of his aids is right there and immediately hands them a card with a contact name and number to the WH. I think they also make note of what was said to whom. Amazing stuff and the troops love him for it!
