BUSH OPENS HIS ARMS & HIS HEART TO WTC TEEN

May 7, 2004 -- President Bush was working the crowd at a campaign stop in Lebanon, Ohio, when a voice rose above the excited din: "This girl lost her mom in the World Trade Center on 9/11."

Bush stopped in his tracks, turned around and without fanfare, wrapped his arms around 15-year-old Ashley Faulkner, hugging her to his heart.

"It felt like he was trying to protect me," the teen told The Post yesterday.

"Here is the most powerful guy in the world, and he wants to make sure I feel safe," the high-school junior said. "He took 20 seconds to give me a hug for no other reason but to comfort me."

Perfect ROVE MOMENT

...the same thing. :)

I wonder if this truly was a chance meeting. My guess it was scripted. Right down to the 'he was trying to protect me' soundbite.

...So when is he scheduled to hug the children whose parents died in Iraq?

The president went on, entangling himself in the strange syntax he uses when nervous: "And there's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids on the death of their loved ones. Others hug, but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug, and that's me, and I know what it's like.

it was posted yesterday as well.

This was as much of a chance happening as Mars flying into the Sun. You "ain't seen nothin yet" from these Monsters. They have a whole lot more Warm Fuzzies planned for the LOBOTOMIZED SHEEP.

"I'm sorry I had to kill your Mom darlin' but you see, we needed the oil in Iraq and that was the only way to get it. You understand how important is for me and uncle Dick to get richer don't you? I'll never do it again I swear."

What utter horse shit!!

was your parent killed because this guy sat on his butt and read a story instead of making sure the air force was going all out to track down the jets that had been hijacked or was your parent killed when the first jet crashed because this guy let someone in his administration stop Jets from being intercepted immediately after they were found to be hijacked ?

"But you see we had this agenda. To be able to carry out this agenda we needed another Pearl Harbor. So, I had to let your mommy be sacrificed for our cause. You see unless I allowed your mommy to be murdered I couldn't be doing all of the wonderful things that I am doing now. Don't you think it was worth the life of your mommy? You understand don't you? I had to let her die so I could try and run the world the way I see fit. Oh and by the way God told me to do it. That makes you feel better right?"

How much more mileage is this fucking PIG going to get out of the murders he committed on 9/11??

I am so sick of everything. This has been the worst week and now I gotta look at this shit? Drink the paint my fellow Americans, drink the paint!

I just want to run off to a deserted island for about a month. I've had just about all I can take!

jackasses

Oh, that girl has so much to learn about worthless men.

he is too busy looking at the camera with one of his stupid "I'm trying to look compassionate" looks. I think he looks more constipated than compassionate!

Constipated Conservatism! That has a ring of truth

they said THAT was unpresidential. :eyes:

: "This girl lost her mom in the World Trade Center on 9/11."

- The Bush* team had a PLANT in the audience with the job of finding a girl like this (with a heart-tugging story) and calling attention to her. This is the oldest trick in the book..the favorite of snake oil salesmen and charlatans. (I bought some of that Bush* Snake Oil and it cured me of the vapors. It's a miracle!)

"...hugging her to his heart."

- This is a repeat of the 2000 election...where 'man of the people' stories are manufactured about Bush* by a media in the pocket of GOP interests.

. . . the family has a website in memory of the mother, who apparently was quite philanthropic or something, so why not plan an appearance in her town, get a contact there to make sure the girl is thrust up toward the president while calling out about 9/11. Easy.

Does that make sense?

and nobody else in their proximity had a camera? or was snapping pics as *jr worked the line of admirers? and why would this guy take his daughter's 'not for public consumption private moment' and sell it to the press?

"There were so many people crowded around, there was no way (anyone else) saw what happened. It was not for public consumption," Faulkner said.

"It was a private moment - one I just happened to steal," he said, referring to the photo he managed to take.

It's too early in the morning for this. bah.

on edit: odd. the 'anyone else' in the 'there was no way anyone else saw what happened' didn't post. Was it the brackets placed around that part in the article? :shrug:

coffee.

another edit: :hi: Thanks, ima_sinnic. Used parentheses and it worked. The brackets were trying to turn it into a url.

can you edit and try without the brackets?
the same thing happened to me once when I used brackets. Have to use parentheses on DU.

he was no where to be found then, and too bad he didnt open his "mind" to all the warnings before 9/11. I'm sick of him exploiting 9/11.

This girl and her father could not have been there by chance.

chills up my spine, the way he is staring right at the camera with those souless eyes. I wonder what is going on in that sick little head of his at that moment?

of WTC disease - because as Condi testified W was anxious to "open Wall Street" and had the EPA lie about the asbestor report are extremely moved.
Come to think of it, why was the teen in Lebanon, Ohio? Could it be asthma?
Wasn't he also supposed to hug the families of those killed in Iraq? he sure bitched enough about how hard it is - and never got to it.
I don't have words to express howdisgusted and angry I am of my city being used like this. I almost cam understand what Iraqis may feel.

...but expect to see this photo-op used in place of the "Mission Accomplished" photo-op this year.

It's a shame that this girl didn't know enough to ask George why he sat in a classroom while he knew that people, including her mom, were dying.
