Not only that, but a liberal, or gullible audience saw it as well.

I have maintained from the beginning that if the American people just saw the President and First Lady as they really are, they would love them. For so long the media kept them out of view. Now that America sees what incredible, yet very real people they are, they do love them. Even if you aren't a dog lover, if you have half of a heart, you can't see the President with Spot or Barney and not like the guy!

Sorry I missed that one!

I saw it too. I made a point to remember that it was on. It was a great segment. President and Mrs. Bush came across as the sincere, loving and honest people that we know them to be.

You could tell that President and Mrs. Bush really love Spot, Barney and India. Mrs. Bush acted like Spot and India's parents, trying to separate him from her. And it was really sweet seeing how much President Bush really cares about Spot. The interviewer, a veterinarian, compared President Bush to Spot in that they're both second generation White House occupants, and asked if maybe that's why he seemed so much closer to her than to the other pets and President Bush agreed, that that could be why. It almost seemed as if President Bush knows that Spot may not be around too much longer, and he wants to spend as much time with her as he can, or at least that's the feeling I got. And Bryant Gumbel seemed truly enamored of little Barney.

I was a bit surprised that it was such a positive piece on the Bushes. I guess I should give kudos to CBS for this, at least this one time.

How right you are. Unfortunately, the leftist media (especially C-Span) is still trying to keep President Bush out of view.
