Please Don't Upset The President
New Virginia Senator Jim Webb gets to meet the Commander-in Chief:
At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.
Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.
"I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing," Bush retorted, according to the source.
Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn’t. It’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.
Honestly, Sen.-to-Be Webb, doesn't the President have enough on his mind? What with Iraq in the midst of a civil war a lot of sectarian violence taking place, fomented in my opinion because of the attacks by al Qaeda, causing people to seek reprisal.
And the diplomatic nightmare bubbling to the surface in Argentina.
Don't make him consider an unfamiliar viewpoint in a time of war.
