One of the episodes in "Fighting Back" brings back the sorrow of September 11. When Bush landed by helicopter to visit ground zero on September 14, he walked over to greet some firefighters. "When he got to the fourth one--a big, burly guy--the president stopped in his tracks," Sammon writes. "Two enormous tears were rolling down the brute's cheeks. Bush reached up and cupped the fireman's face in his hand. The scene prompted a number of grown men to break down." It would have been hard not to.

Wow. You know, I've heard so many stories of this nature, and I've been deeply touched each time. Thank God we have this man steering our ship.

Pokey, thanks for the ping.

Hobs, if you haven't yet, you really need to read Sammon's book. You will love it.
