Bush @ recovery center for soldiers with missing limbs:"helping these people get back on their feet"

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/11/20071108-8.html

President Bush Visits Wounded Warriors at Center for the Intrepid
Brooke Army Medical Center San Antonio, Texas

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much for having me here today. If anybody were to come to this center, they would have to leave inspired and thankful, inspired by the servicemen and women who are recovering from wounds with such courage; thankful that there are instructors and preachers and volunteers who are helping these people get back on their feet and getting their lives together.

3. I am at a total loss of words with that statement
It is sick, helping them get back on their feet. He took their feet away from them when he sent them into harms way.

11. Sigh. The man is an embarassment.
Agnes the Blunt, my 82-year-old mother, just informed me that the man is a "useless, stupid, totally unsympathetic prick."

She has a talent for cogent comment.
