"Sorry Dad, Mom and I are tied up."

The Presidential Medal of Freedom was awarded today, among others, to the 41st President of the United States, George W. Bush, for his contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

And, his kid, the 43rd President of the United States, could NOT ATTEND, he had a "Schedule Conflict.

"Sorry, Dad, would have loved to see you get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but Mom and I were tied up."

I would love to know what was more important than that, and we will never know. 43, I lost a lot of respect for you today.
