Records: Bush Failed to Meet Guard Standards

Newly released documents show President Bush was suspended from flight status in the Texas Air National Guard in 1972 for not taking a required physical exam and failing to meet the Guard's performance standards. Memos show Bush asked his commander about "how to get out of coming to drill." Hear NPR's Brian Naylor.
