4. Probably NOT an unreasonable precaution for a President (or any politician that matter)
Edited on Sun Nov-09-08 08:23 PM by ddeclue
to use hand sanitizer.

How many people's hands do you think he has to shake a day?

How wise would it be for the President to come down with the flu or a cold? These guys work about 18-20/7/365 (yes even *) and travel a lot and meet a lot of people and it HAS to be tough on the old immune system. I've just travelled to England on business and guess what? Sick already in under a week.

I don't fault Bush for the hand sanitizer. I fault him for his confrontational winner take all political style that refused to compromise and refused to acknowledge that he didn't know everything.
