Isn't this the same President who, when he was Governer of Texas, signed large numbers of death warrants?
This is the same President who, when as Governer, signed a bill that allows hospitals to pulls the plug on patients if the hospital feels that the treatment isn't helping (over the objections of the patient/legal guardian).
ie: In Terri's case, Michael wants to pull the plug. In Texas, even if Michael wanted to keep her alive, the hospital could override.
