I suggest that you read your own source.
President Bush did not refuse to allow the soldier to attend the event.
But you probably knew this when you asked the question.

This presents two very import issues. First, even if you are going to provide a link, it really needs to come from an unbiased source. Whether this is true or not, the web link that you are utilizing is immediately going to polarize most people. If it is the only on-line link that you can find, then you need to re-approach the issue from a different angle. Second, the actions of one individual does not reflect all of those above him. I'm pretty sure that President Bush did not look over the invitation list himself. If some case worker, who was undoubtedly hired long before Bush was elected president, decided to take that course of action, that is their choice (I don't hate all strict Conservatives or Liberals because or Rush Limbaugh or Congresswoman Barbara Boxer). Being in the military and having dealt with soldiers that have been at Walter Reed, I find quite a few inaccuracies with the story as a whole. If you want to argue with the war and put down President Bush, do a bit more research and don't look so immature while doing so.
Thanks for the two points.

The reason given was because he insisted on wearing shorts. That is not an unreasonable request. You or I would not be allowed to wear shorts, either. He could have worn regular pants pinned up to the end of his stump or sat so the prosthesis was showing at the ceremony. . Shame on you for spinning this story. With comments like yours, is it any wonder the opposition calls us libtards?
And for the wingnuts here, who says The Washington Post is not a reliable source? They seem to have reported this story without bias. Did you even bother to read past the liberal blog headline?

President Bush DID NOT have anything to do with refusing to allow this person to this event.
This IS NOT a creditable source!!

My view point is your blog site has no truth and therefore is irrelevant BS.

A liberal blog is not a good source. I don't believe it happened.
