Some of the emotional-charged comments on a blog on USA TODAY. The blog was about the story of a series of mishaps suffered by the White House. Bush's daughter got robbed in South America, the motorcade for Bush had an accident with some officers - this wasn't even a story of politics and people jumped all over each other just for a chance to rip into the conservative, or into the liberal.

2) Where your entire family could be kidnapped and there wasn't any answers where they are.
3) Living in a mud hut eating salted-soybean curd without modern heat or air conditioning.
4) Eeking out a living as nothing more than poor farmer under the mercies of the weather.
5) Sucking on herbs because there wasn't any modern hospitals.
