Bush, reluctant to give up the spotlight, endorses McCain

    Defend the Constitution

    Alex,

    Thank you for pointing out that the president swears an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the American people. I have been yelling at my TV for years whenever Bush says this - and he says it a lot - and I have never seen even one journalist or politician correct it. If they did, maybe viewers would think a little more about the price of freedom and the meaning of our Constitution and would not be so quick to give away our freedom for the temporary illusuion of safety.
