Thousands In Ohio Gather To Mourn Fallen Soldiers. Bush? MIA, As Always

Bush continues to show his utter disregard and contempt for the brave men and women who are dying in a war he launched based on lies to the American people. (Thanks to threader Sean for reminding us of the memorial.) Bush is the first President in modern history and probably the first President ever to refuse to attend a single military funeral. And he's doing so during wartime and after his reelection, when any cynical calculation that pictures of Bush at a funeral might not poll well are absolutely moot. What possible reason does Bush have for ignoring this pain and suffering? Even the New York Post called on Bush to attend this memorial service. And Bush couldn't be bothered.

Thousands mourned in Cleveland. Where was Bush? On vacation -- the longest Presidential vacation in 36 years. George Bush: MIA. As Always.
