FOXNews.com - Martin Sheen Visits 'Camp Casey'
CRAWFORD, Texas -Cindy Sheehan hasn't achieved a meeting with the president during her three-week war protest, but she met a man who plays one on TV.
Martin Sheen, who portrays the president on NBC's 'The West Wing,' visited Sheehan's makeshift campsite Sunday.
'At least you've got the acting president of the United States,' Sheen said as the crowd of more than 300 people cheered. 'I think you know what I do for a living, but this is what I do to stay alive.'
Sheehan arrived in President Bush's adopted hometown Aug. 6 and promised to stay until she could question Bush about the war that has claimed more than 1,870 U.S. soldiers' lives - including her son Casey. Bush's vacation ends Friday.
She was among a group of grieving families who met President Bush about two months after her son died last year, before she became a vocal opponent of the war. Bush has said she has the right to protest and he sympathizes with her, but his aides have said there are no plans to change his schedule to meet with her again.
