Bush walks off stage instead of answering legitimate questions!

[Catfight]

On Friday George W. Bush, facing questions from reporters about his close personal relationship with indicted former Enron CEO Ken Lay, simply walked off stage rather than respond.

This is outrageous! Why isn't this in the media? This has got to stop, we demand answers of this president, he is not exempt from the same rules!

1. Was this a press conference?

Is there a video?

[Foehammer]

2. Its just a picture...

...any more to this story?
I'm not a dumb dumb I need more info then a picture and a tag line.

[gatlingforme]

3. Is that it? do you have an article on this? I do not respond to a pic.

17. you just did

most of us on the left were, of course, already well aware of this incident. but then, we on the left are right about pretty much everything. you should join up.

4. The people's money that Lay stole went to Bush and the PNACers/cabal.

5. I hope he does that at the debates!

Now, that would be funny.

12. I don't think there was an interview. I think it was an extemporaneous

question. See my post (#8) on this thread. That doesn't make him less rude, but it was not a press conference.

[Bluebear]

15. Oh, Margie!

[LittleApple81]

8. What I think REALLY HAPPENED (from watching the WH video and transcript)

He was giving one of his "speeches" about how unfair it was for the dirty democrats to reject his UNBIASED judges (this happened in Waterford, MI). He finished, and said thank you and was ready to leave. Then a reporter extemporaneously asked the question. That's when he got pissy and just walked out.

the VIDEO on the WH page..
BUT they cropped the question and the walkout from the transcript and the video.

10. bush is a Coward and a Wimp

21. I could not agree more

and I think we should push this. Remember what it did to his daddy? War president, HAH! So far 2 countries without an air force, nothing really but lots of guns and a few rocket propelled grenades and we still have not really succeeded in either of them. He is a bully who talks big but when confronted with something he can't just roll over he turns, tucks his tail and runs like a little baby. Look at the NAACP. If there are problems between the two a real statesman with courage would address it head on but what does widdle Georgie do? Bah, he is such a big weenie and the biggest wimp that ever took office.

11. This administration answers to nobody.

And, I do not expect to see it change anytime soon. His presidency has been one of circumvention and deciet. I can think of no examples where the democratic process has been followed through to a conclusion.

I am not suprised by his actions, what suprises me is that he actually had a press conference. He has had the fewest of any president since the advent of mass media. What he does give is dictatorial speaches, either from military bases, or from republicans - only events.

Duh'bya has never answered to anyone; he enjoys the power of appointment. That is why the news of him trying to gain the power to cancel elections is so disturbing. How can one un-elect someone who was never elected in the first place? This is especially true if he has the power to cancel the process that can remove him.

[Catfight]

14. So very true! Why hasn't the press pushed for an answer to this

most legitimate question regarding Bush being Kenny liar Lay's buddy? Especially since Bush deny's knowing him....I think he denied Ken Lay 3 times before Cheney's mouth spouted out, "Go Fuck Yourself, Go Fuck Yourself, Go Fuck Yourself!"

[TWiley]

25. Now that is funny!

LMAO

Another good question would be "Why, or how, did you and Dick manage to sell thousands of personally owned shares of Enron stock when it was trading at it's all time high, and just before the bankruptcy announcement?"

They made a big ass production over Martha Stewart's $40,000 deal. Now how about the same scale of investigation involving Lay, Cheney, and Bush involving stock worth millions.

18. Aint it the truth: AINT IT THE TRUTH ! ....

"What he does give is dictatorial speaches, either from military bases, or from republicans - only events."

(Subject line to be recited in the 'Cowardly Lion' voice ...)
