He's such a class act in every other respect, but now he has to snub the President because they are of different political beliefs? He's free to his own opinions I suppose, and there aren't many DUers who would have gone to meet george bush if given the chance (I would have, not that it has anything to do with anything). But still, that's classless. What a jerk.
