* knew about 10 marines killed before his "the economy rocks" gaggle

[sabra]

Scotty just revealed that * learned about the Falluja incident last night. But never the less, this morning he had to gather the press and gloat about how the economy is doing so well.

:grr:

[classof56]

1. I don't think I've mentioned lately how despicable * is.

The depths to which he sinks just keeping getting lower. Guess there's no end to them, is there?

Tired Old Cynic

2. pResident Sincerity

:puke:

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. pResident Unfeeling

17. How right you are. He just really doesn't care and doesn't

even bother to pretend anymore.

[texpatriot2004]

3. The Economy I am living in SUCKS It's the worst I have ever

seen

[sabra]

4. of course, but * had to tout the 200k+ new jobs in November

before the DOD casualty report was to be released :-(

[speedoo]

6. the Coward was afraid of facing shouted questions about...

ten dead marines. That explains the timing.

How long will it be before he has another press conference?

I say six months at a minimum.

Fucking scumbag coward.

[sabra]

10. actually some one did mention Iraq, and * was running faster

than the speed of light :-)

[aquart]

7. Were those all temporary sales jobs?

Which won't begin to offset the GM and Merck layoffs?

Did the reporters laugh?

[Catchawave]

8. Wouldn't that 200k number reflect

Holiday temps ?

[sabra]

9. but of course, but who cares about the details...

[BeachBuckeye]

5. most of my friends are operators of small bussinesses.

All of them, including a couple of Republicans, say the present business climate is the worst in 30 years. I agree.

[EFerrari]

19. The Dems have SO much to run on in 2006.

I hope us small business types will be here to support them. :(

[jackstraw45]

11. Obviously weighing on his mind.....

:sarcasm:

Bush today, the fresh blood of 10 soldiers on his hands:

[sabra]

15. that makes even madder.

hmm...

[rodeodance]

12. by acknowledging the terrible deaths, he prob would have gained a

few points. People appreciated candor.

[sabra]

16. prolly, but he can only talk of Iraq in staged and controlled setting.

[rodeodance]

14. the man has no soul.

[Batgirl]

18. they still think we will believe their lies

rather than the reality of our own experiences and perceptions:

Bush's response to Katrina was effective and efficient.

Bush never linked Iraq with 9/11 to mislead the country into war. And besides, the war is going great.

Jobs are plentiful and the economy is thriving even if everyone you know is working harder for less money and worried about being able to keep the furnace running this winter.

They need to come up with a better game plan, this one's not working very well anymore.
I mean, sure they still have their fake war on Christmas but unfortunately that's a seasonal tactic and most people aren't falling for it anyway.

Q Can I ask, when the President came to the Rose Garden this morning, about 10:45 a.m., at that hour did the White House already know about this attack on the Marines in Fallujah?

MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, we did. The President was informed about the loss of the Marines last night, and those that were injured, and then he was briefed again this morning. We are saddened by the loss of life, whether it's one soldier who loses his or her life, or 10 or 11. We are saddened to hear that news. Our heart and prayers go out to the families. Their loved ones paid the ultimate sacrifice for an important cause, and we are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

[Straight Shooter]

21. "whether it's one soldier ... or 10 or 11."

See that quote? You see that? Now extrapolate it a bit. Will he be as sad for 5,000 soldiers dead as 2,125+ so far? How about 25,000 soldiers? Will that make them as sad as 5,000 soldiers dead?

Jeebus. Where is a wall. I need a wall right now! :banghead:
