I have never accused Mr. Bush of not having physical courage, although your analogy is bad , he didnt even know the grenade was there till the next day. No it isnt physical courage he lacks, perhaps it isnt even courage he lacks just the gumption to forget to be polite all the time and turning the other cheek. That time is over , its time to crap or get off the pot. I know many henpecked husbands who have courage but allow their wives to walk all over them because they want to get along. Piss on getting along he cant be elected again anyway and its time he made someone get along with him instead of the other way round.
As for the 'henpecked' analogy, all I can say is one word. LOL! (Oh......I guess that's three, isn't it?)
You hit it right on the head, "the gumption' to quit being nice and turning the other cheek. Excellent analysis and very true. NSNR
