Duly noted. Apologies for the thread hijack. I get carried away sometimes when addressing blatant mistruths.

The original intent of this thread is to continue to expose the mediocrity of the current inhabitant of the white house, and of his administration. Bush himself could announce that he is grateful for the lengths that the security apparatus will go to in an effort to protect him, but that ordering parade participants "not to look directly at him", is excessive and divisive.

Agreed 100%. I'm all for security, but that final order was just a little OTT.

Bush won't do that, though. He sees nothing amiss now, just as he pretended that it was not out of the ordinary to speak only at campaign appearances populated by carefully pre-screened, ticket holding, loyalty oath taking, audiences.

To be fair, was Clinton any different? I honestly don't know. I have heard it said that he held a lot more press conferences, and didn't impose "no free speech" zones. But did he engage in unprepared Q&A sessions?
We've moved on from silly and paranoid "security measures" to general criticism of Bush's dealings with the media.
