BUSH News Conference Thread * * * * *
He is more concerned about the suits and attire of the reporters than their questions. His mumbling is disconcerting as well. Overall, causing people to have more concern than being reassured.

4. Didn't he just call us all weak minded cowards again?
said the war was "straining our psyche" or some bullshit like that?

I guess we don't get it---we're supposed to be sniveling in the corner with fear, and we're also supposed to let the useless carnage continue.

15. He is not getting the questions he wants so now he has decided
to ask the question and then answer it - completely cutting out the journalist. I swear we are living in Wonderland.

12. Now He Volunteers Questions --"Why Not Use The Military Now?"
--He had this answer planned and needed to spit it out before he forgot it.

His alleged promotion of diplomacy is one of his biggest whoppers.

He's making fun of the fact that this is all just a silly game. And even flaunts he can break any rule. I hate him so much why am I doing this to myself today?

24. He has not answered one single question. He parrots the questions
and then states the ludicrous. "I care about people." BS. He has not answered one fricking question substantially. How on earth do the journalists in attendance look at themselves in the mirror each morning. They are letting him do this to the country.

Where in the hell is Bill Clinton? The country needs him so bad right now.

He just forgot the word 'envoy'. No really- he forgot what the word 'envoy' was.

She is poised and speaks directly to him.

She knows how to play him, I think April is about the only one, other than Gregory and Helen that should even be in one of those chairs.

46. No Longer Any Doubt Why Repubs Would Never Let Him Be Put Under Oath
Can you imagine what he might say that is just an out and out lie? Perjury would be almost assured in the first five minutes. Especially if he does not have CHeney and/or Rove to answer for him.

48. I wonder if it ever occurs to this asshole .....



that his job wouldn't be near as difficult if he was honest and straightforward with people. He seems to be frustrated that he can't get his points across. Due to his past performance the reason for that is obvious. People regard him as a lying weasel who simply can't be trusted.
