It's not ridiculous.
The Dems had this ALL LINED UP AND READY TO GO AS SOON AS BUSH PUT VETO PEN TO PAPER.
These "dog and pony" shows are just that.
"Oh, look how the big, bad President is treating the little boy and his family."
Makes me want to drive to DC and kick everyone in that photo-op (except the family) in the nads. Problem is, I wouldn't be able to find one nad, let alone a pair of them in a sac, among the lot of them.
Then the family would get a slap up the side of the head for being so stupid to allow themselves to be turned into media-stew the way they were.
And the parents get to hang onto their kid, after what they made him do?
How much did mom and dad get paid for that little show? Did anyone ask that?
Did the kid get anything (other than "coaching" on his presentation?) besides a free ride to DC?
Yah, Democrats using the little people to keep their own @55es in office...there's a new one.
