Picture of the Day















Former U.S. President Bill Clinton reaches out to shake hands with Vietnamese well-wishers from the balcony of a building across the street from the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, in this Nov. 17, 2000 file photo. It was a magic moment when Clinton came to Vietnam six years ago, drawing huge, jubilant crowds at every stop on the first visit by a U.S. president since the end of the war in 1975. U.S. President Bush who is coming to Vietnam for the Nov. 18-19 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Hanoi is likely have a considerably cooler reception. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)

  • Well, Bush would never reach out to common folk like that, that's for sure. Plus his need to ensconced in a bubble wouldn't allow regular citizens in the next room over. And his security detail would take them out back and have them shot.

  • And they'd be shouting "out of Iraq" and "no guantanamo."

  • I agree with Lew, Bush is no Clinton. (sigh)

  • I don't you'll get any debate from anybody on that.
