How many other presidents have sat down with the families? None that I know of."

Karlson, a retired school food services manager, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Bush greeted her with a "great big bear hug," gave her a presidential coin, signed a scrapbook she has about her son and constantly held her hand during the meeting that lasted at least 20 minutes.
"He said, 'I just love the military. There's just something about military families.' And he thanked us for raising the type of child we did. That's part of what he wrote in the scrapbook," Karlson told the newspaper.

Sounds like campaigning for the GOP to me. It was nice if he really did make the women feel better.. if it wasnt a stage, but I don't think he would have done it if it wasn't election year. He should talk to cyndy shehan, maybe tell her to shut the hell up!
