Bush Jogs With Wounded Soldier

I found the following story on MSNBC.com. It's from back in June, and it is another story that supports the premise that once you make your mind up to do something, nothing can stop you except for yourself.

"He ran the president into the ground, I might add," Bush said, as the two gripped hands in an emotional, lengthy shake. "But I’m proud of you. I’m proud of your strength, proud of your character."
