Bush Assists with Camp Casey Move

I had to steal this -- :D

CRAWFORD, Texas (APE) - In a symbolic gesture of support today, President Bush and an impromptu delegation of his top officials in the early morning hours assisted with the moving to a new location of Camp Casey. Camp Casey is the antiwar activist protest site established by Cindy Sheehan in an effort to motivate the president to speak with her in regards to the death of her son in Iraq. White House staff as well as the Secret Service acknowledged that the symbolic gesture was undertaken in the very early hours of the morning so as to have the least possibility for conflict with the demonstrators. White House sources acknowledged that the president still has no intentions of addressing Miss Sheehan directly.

The president later addressed reporters saying, "I will say it again. I honestly believe that this woman has the right to say and do what she is doing. We have a democracy here in America. I was very disappointed with the behavior the previous night of Mr. Northern. While I believe his passion and beliefs are correct, there is no excuse for what he did. I am a little embarrassed that it was done in my name, so I felt that this was the least we could do to try to set things right with Ms. Sheehan's group."
