Bush jogs with wounded soldier By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush took a jog Tuesday with a soldier who lost part of both legs in Iraq, following through on a bedside promise even the president had doubts about at the time.


Despite a slight drizzle, Bush and Staff Sgt. Christian Bagge took a slow jog around a spongy track that circles the White House's South Lawn. About halfway through their approximately half-mile run, Bush and Bagge paused briefly for reporters.

"He ran the president into the ground, I might add," Bush said, as the two gripped hands in an emotional, lengthy shake. "But I'm proud of you. I'm proud of your strength, proud of your character."

1. And I'm ashamed we have an unelected "president" who has
neither strength nor character.

6. Not to mention the gut he's unsuccessfully trying to suck in. Eww.
He's got one of those horizontal belly button creases. Ew Ew.
