Yes, I'm sure the President understands he is at risk.
I agree that, knowing what he does and campaigning anyway, he displays personal courage.
And I agree that it's important for us to protect our head of state.
But if the standard is that displayed by the title character in Henry V, well, he's a long way from that.
The academic exercise is what attracted me to this thread in the first place. I gave up expecting anything approaching rhetorical grace from anyone named Bush, except Barbara, long ago. It seems not to matter anyway. GW could say "Saddam eats boogers" and there would be people who would cheer his incisive way with words.
