Where's The Love?

In a speech yesterday in Grapevine, Texas, President Bush outlined a whole bunch of things his government is doing: Fighting terrorists, developing energy policy, enacting legal reforms and negotiating free trade agreements, to name a few. But when it comes to the big stuff, he said, Uncle Sam is a heartless old man. "We understand that government -- government can't love," Bush said. "Government can pass law; government can hand out money; but government cannot put heart -- hope in a person's heart or a sense of purpose in a person's life. That's done when a loving citizen puts their arm around somebody who hurts and says, how can I help you? What can I do to make your life better?"
