It wasn't true, but I am proud of President Bush's reaction

Rumors of Yasser Arafat's death appear to be false, but I could not have been more proud of President Bush's reaction during a news conference in which a reporter advised him of Arafat's death and wanted the president's first reaction:

"My first reaction is, God bless his soul."

He's not perfect, but he continues to appear to walk the talk.

Grace and peace.
