This President has seen far too much death and distruction since 2001. I firmly believe that Hurricane Katrina took something out of him that he hasn't quite gotten back. I know I'm in the minority on this, but I believe it strongly.
W feels this stuff. Our former Prez could go out, bite his lip and make a tear, but then he’d forget all about it and go back to his favorite activities. This one will do anything to protect us, and really grieves when something goes so tragically wrong.
There were as many tragedies - if not more - during the previous admin., but they didn’t leave a mark on the Prez.
