But very few of us would. We might not be proud of that medal but bucking the most powerful people in the world has a way of softening your spine...especially when you are taught to respect and honor the office of the president. I am not saying he was right but is his personal weakness unforgivable? #37 It is nice to believe we would do the right thing and throw the medal back in Bush’s face. But very few of us would.

His "clarification" of the facts sounds a lot like he thought fixing the facts around the policy was a "slam dunk". I don't know how his correction of the record could clear his reputation in any way, and it seems more like another rat leaving the sinking ship. Excuse me while I wipe a crocodile tear I just shed for this man....
