Bush and Cindy Sheehan
W
hen President George W. Bush left for his five-week vacation in Crawford, Tex., his spokesperson said it was a time for the president to "meet with folks out in the heartland and hear what's on their minds."
C
indy Sheehan has given him that opportunity, but he prefers delivering speeches to partisan crowds in defense of his Iraq policy. If the president really wants to hear what is on the minds of Americans, he should engage in dialogue, not monologue, and encourage citizens like Sheehan to voice their concerns in unscripted, unchoreographed settings.
