I suspect it's why Bush seems to be on a break neck schedule: He knows he's only got two years

I think that it's different, this time. Unprecedented, in fact. A pathetic comedy.
The "lead in" made me anticipate that there was actually a show of support
for Bush that was worth reporting.

Despite considerable opposition to Mr. Bush's policies in Slovakia, whose government is a staunch U.S. ally that has deployed troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, about a half-dozen Slovaks gathered near the palace in a show of support for Bush. They held banners in English that read: "Values of America
Values of Slovakia" and "Slovakia Welcomes President Bush."
"We share the same values presented by Mr. Bush, and this gives us room to show people that not everybody is against him," said Laco Bariak, 26.
