Clinton, Carter, Bush-1 and Regan Attended Funerals


Of all soldiers who died fighting conflicts.....

"Wesley Clark quickly seized this issue and has been hammering Bush with it. Over the weekend, the Clark campaign issued a statement noting that Bush has "refused to attend a single military funeral of any soldier killed in Iraq." The campaign noted that Carter, Reagan, Bush (Sr.), and Clinton all attended funerals for soldiers who were killed in conflicts under their command."

2. Dubya was raised to think himself better than everyone else.
That's been obvious that he considers himself to be a superior being to the rest of us for quite some time now. Must be that limo childhood.

A lot of people would consider Miss Lillian and Clinton's mother to be light worlds apart but based on their sons, they must have shared some basic values.

4. Too guilty and hypocritical to attend. They know they are personally
responsible for their deaths. Even heartless busy can't take that!

7. And yet, he puts surviving relatives on display at the SOTU
Apparently it's good PR to have them at the SOTU but it's bad PR to go to the funerals.

8. But the asshole doesn't mind blowing millions on travel



on Air Force One at the taxpayers expense to attend RNC fund raisers anywhere, anytime.






Miserable excuse for a human being.
