#1 Would that the next president follow this noble task as well. and also do it on out of the public eye.

#2 Love him or hate him, it is hard to argue that he did not succeed in accomplishing one of his key campaign promises from the first election - restoring the dignity of the Office. Behaviors like these are how it was done.

#3 Obama will never do this without it being leaked every time he meets with a family or service member. Hewants that spotlight too much

#4 We're going to miss Bush far more than we know right now. Every day Bama is in office will make GWB look better.

I just shake my head in sadness and disbelief at the choices we had in the last election. How could a once-great country sink so low? In 300 million people there HAVE to be two better choices than McCain and Bama.

If the dictum that "a people get the government they deserve" is true, we're in extremely serious trouble as a nation.

#5 People make bad choices when supplied with bad information. While the news media, who as a whole identify with the extreme left of the socialist agenda, are the main culprits, the president and his office must also share blame for their utter failure to engage and shape the information flow. These private meetings are just one small example.

#6 ed, that's part of the problem - if Bush had publicized that he was doing this, the press would have ripped him apart. Code Pink and their ilk would have done their best to disrupt every meeting with the families. The fact that he continued to do it without saying anything earns him a hero award in my eyes.
