Why do regular folk like GW?

Well, this again demonstrates why most folk who have met or work for him admire him (including most of the military).

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night.

Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. The incident happened after Bush and his wife, Laura, had just posed for pictures on a red carpet with the host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife, Luisa Duran.

As Bush stepped inside, Chilean agents closed ranks at the door, blocking the president's agents from following. Stopping for more pictures, Bush noticed the fracas and turned back. He reached through the dispute and pulled his agent from the scrum and into the building.

The president, looking irritated, straightened his shirt cuffs as he went into the dinner.

This cowboy doesn't put up with anyone messing with his people.

You gotta love that.

- He also cancelled a full scale dinner scheduled for that evening and did a small, more intimate group gathering instead, when the SS and Chilean guard service couldn't agree on security issues such as having everyone pass through metal detectors. Apparently only the leftist moonbat protesters in Chile are aware that America is at war.....
