What President Bush has done speaks more than words about his feeling of compassion and commitment to people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of the things that need to be said about the President are things he can't say himself.
This man called President Bush has a lot to answer for. I don't know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.
Americans in general have a lot of compassion, we just don't always have the same view of how that compassion is implemented.
Say what you want to say about the rest of his presidency, including his tone-deaf response to Katrina and a war waged in Iraq on false pretenses, Bush connected with Americans in the aftermath of 9/11 because he looked as frail and unforgiving as we felt.
Compassion is loving others enough to say or do what is appropriate from an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome.
America is hope. It is compassion. It is excellence. It is valor.
You know, President Obama feels very strongly that the government has a responsibility to engage with the American people, as well as with the world community.
If we want to create a viable, peaceful world, we've got to integrate compassion into the gritty realities of 21st century life.
Bush promised a foreign policy of humility and a domestic policy of compassion. He has given us a foreign policy of arrogance and a domestic policy that is cynical, myopic and cruel.
One thing everyone seems to agree on is that Republicans face a perceived compassion deficit.
