A tear runs down President Bush's cheek as he takes part in a Medal of Honor Ceremony for Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham of Scio, N.Y., Thursday, Jan. 11, 2007, in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Bush granted journalist Robert Draper several extended interviews in late 2006 and early 2007, as well as unusual access to his aides, for the book "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush," which went on sale Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2007. In the book Bush is quoted as saying, "I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president. I'll shed some tomorrow."

There is no crying in Base Ball.

I cry when I think of what he’s doing to our country as opposed to what he said he was going to do.

[Piranha]

So do those of us who voted for him.

No doubt the most vilified and misrepresented man in modern history. Even to the point that he has to assure the public that he is human and feels sorrow. No surprise, they will bash him on this too.

Acknowledged that sectarian violence after the U.S. toppled Saddam Hussein was "something we didn't spend a lot of time planning for. We planned for what happens if Saddam and his people dug into Baghdad," and we figured the Iraqi leader was fomenting ethnic divisions that would ease when he was gone. The opposite happened.

This is negligence if true.

[tumblindice]

And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,
I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,
And if you ever want a little love of a woman
Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now
Cry baby yeah.

Draper's account of the bulk of Bush's presidency sheds light on a loyal and secretive inner circle that, at least privately, was not always on the same page. Draper tells of an April 2006 dinner at which Bush asked aides for a show of hands on whether his divisive defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld, should be fired.
The vote: 7-4 to get rid of him, with Bush siding with those who wanted him kept on for the time being. Rumsfeld was replaced after the elections that fall switched control of the House and Senate to Democrats.

Well, Mr. President, if you had listened to those seven instead of the three and your misplaced loyalty, you would have been doing a lot less crying today as the surge that is working would have been implemented earlier and, by now, you would be looking toward a well-deserved legacy of achievement and victory in Iraq.

I'd cry too if I had the same views as Bush on legalizing the criminal illegal aliens, and leaving our borders open in a time of war, plus leaving office with a bigger, more powerful and expensive government, than when he entered.

[freekitty]

Crying about it doesn’t get the job done, Mr. President.

[Right2BareArms]

The part I don’t get about this whole thing was a supposed excerpt from the book saying Bush has read 87 books this year.

If he’s reading 87 books and crying all the time, then it’s no wonder our borders are so open.

I believe he does shed many tears on a daily basis.

While I may not agree with him on immigration and some other things, he is a stubborn man and DOES love his country and the people in it. He takes his responsibility seriously. He has a heart.
