Controversy seems to brew around politicians, specifically those in the oval office. On the Democratic side, Clinton felt it; and so on the Republican side, President Bush is currently facing it.
In an attempt to derail the Bush Administration, the Democratic Party has demanded that the President come clean on the issue concerning his military record. Bush critics claim that he used his family influence to enlist in the National Guard in order to avoid the Vietnam War draft.
However, the White House unveiled the information. Records released earlier this week indicated that Mr. Bush received credit for nine days of active duty before being honorably discharged to attend Harvard University.

President Bush in the National Guard
“There were some who sought to leave a wrong impression there was something to hide when there is not,” said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.
A group of reporters analyzed the president’s medical exams during his service. The records showed that he was suspended from flying in 1972 for not taking a physical. However, he did not take the physical because none of his duties were to involve flying.
McClellan answered questions pertaining to the President’s National Guard records in a press briefing.
It’s obvious that President Bush served in the military, though not in the typical fashion. Bush was honorably discharged from his duties to further an education that most would claim doesn’t exist.
The President is smart. He was smart enough to convince the American people to elect him in 2000 and the only reason the general public believes otherwise is because this country has a president with the balls to defend us.
Give it time before Kerry has some questionable quality.
