4. Thanks for the heads-up, Magic Rat. |
|
I didn't know anything about it.
Gee, I seem to remember a coherent presser with a Pres-elect. But my memory isn't all it used to be.
Seems like a long, long time ago.

8. thought this was a presser on transition? |
|
What could he possibly be able to tell us, even if he did read something major? I would think if something had to be said, it would be from the current administration, no? I'm not sure what the protocol is, so just asking.

62. I think Bush is not playing around in this transition |
|
and that's for the safety of the country. If anyone watched Bush's speech yesterday, he came down on the media and motioned for them to calm down. Rush Limbaugh sounded absolutely nuts the day after the election. He sounded like he was driving a tank of terrorist into the White after Obama. Bush caught wind of all that and I saw it in his speech.
And with a wave of Bush's arm, the media stopped the terrorist attacking.
