Picture of the Day - 2
















Sue Downes lost part of both her legs in Iraq.

(President George W. Bush congratulates Army Specialist Sue Downes after presenting the Iowa City, Iowa soldier with a Purple Heart Friday, Dec. 22, 2006, at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center where she is recovering from injuries suffered in Operation Iraqi Freedom. (White House supplied photo by Eric Draper.))

(She looks "congratulated" doesn't she?)

  • Actually, she looks like she's getting ready to hawk one at him...

    Now, will he congratulate her with a guarantee of quality prosthetics and rehab care?

  • There're several of these, of different soldiers, all supplied by the White House, and in none of them do the recipients have that photo op "happy to see the president" look.

    Ans, you figure the White House is supplying the best ones they can find....

  • Funny how he still can't seem to make any of their funerals, though, isn't it.

    Real funny.
