Politics, U.S.: George W. Bush has moved on. Protester Cindy Sheehan hasn’t.

  • I think this is going to be the protest of the summer. It’s really picking up a lot of energy.
  • Cindy Sheehan • On her latest move to draw attention to the Iraq war … another protest of ex-President Bush’s Texas home. Gee, that’s creative. Not that the war doesn’t deserve the attention, but Bush isn’t exactly in a position to fix the mess he created now, is he? Did you pull a newspaper out of 2005 or something and read it wrong? • source

    That’s really insensitive of you.

    No, it’s not. There’s no reason to continue beating a dead horse in a particular fashion. As a country, we’re working towards getting out of Iraq and making progress, and Sheehan – who was already a controversial figure for her protests, which I supported up to this point – is clearly making a scene by protesting a president no longer in office who has done his best to get out of the way of the Obama administration.

    Simply put, she needs to be putting her energy elsewhere if she wants to make some REAL progress for her cause.
