3. Surprised, but Great

I was surprised that Schieffer criticized Bush in that he is known as a Bush friend. However, he really hit Bush hard and Bush deserved it. This is something that makes me think the sky is falling more and more for Bush. Now, people who the public thought would never criticize Bush are calling him out on his bad policies. I am very happy about what Schieffer said.

20. Very Good! In style, and in the fact that he closed the show with it.,

I find it reminiscent of KO's "Commentary" pieces. . (though of course, not nearly as scathing.)

21. It's amazing how bits of truth so impress me now, since we hear them

so rarely.

22. Bush" s Actions are Wrong on Petreaus Report

If you have not been able to see the video yet, Scheiffer said it was wrong of Bush to try to prevent General Petreaus from speaking to Congress and writing the progress report on Iraq. Scheiffer went on to say that since Bush is trying to put so many restrictions on what Petreaus can say about Iraq, Bush must be trying to hide something. Finally, Scheiffer said that it was wrong for Bush to write a report that he said he would use to determine what he does next in Iraq.

11. Missed It, What Did He Say

i want to "love" Bob Schieffer too, because mostly I loath him.

[babylonsister]

12. He bashed the admin for being disingenuous, RE: the Petraeus report.

Who's writing it, who's presenting it, what are they trying to hide. And did so eloquently! (I hope that word is 'PC' when referring to BS; I never know around here):hide: )
