The ‘burden of worry’

December:

“I must tell you, I’m sleeping a lot better than people would assume,” said.

This morning:

NBC: Do you know the American people are suffering?

Laura Bush: Oh, I know that very much. And believe me, no one sufferers more than their president and I do when we watch this. And certainly the Commander in Chief, who has asked our military to go into harm’s way.

NBC: What do you think the American public needs to know about…

Laura Bush: Well, I hope they do know the burden of worry that’s on his shoulders, every single day for our troops.

Look, I appreciate the fact that “Do you know the American people are suffering?” is a fairly difficult question for a First Lady to answer, but the right response is to explain that the president understands Americans’ grief. Bush sympathizes with those who’ve sacrificed the most during this tragic war.

Ultimately, though, the First Lady’s comments reflect a painful detachment. Thousands of families are struggling with the loss of loved ones, or those who come back seriously injured, only to find that their government isn’t quite as anxious to help as they’d been led to believe. Those people understand anguish.

“No one” suffers more than the president? He has the “burden of worry”? It’s a slap in the face to those who understand sacrifice far better than the Bushes.
