DNC Responds to President Bush's Press Conference

[MaineDem]

Washington, DC - The Democratic National Committee issued the following
reaction to President Bush's press conference:

"If that performance was supposed to put Bush's second term back on track,
Americans are in for 3 ½ years of great storytelling, but no real solutions to
their problems.

"The President contradicted himself calling the bonds in Social Security
worthless IOUs in a filing cabinet, but then referred to the same bonds in
private accounts as backed by the full faith of the American government. Is he
really suggesting that while we will re-pay debts to foreign countries we won't
re-pay debts to our own people?

"Thankfully he didnt preempt 'survivor,' otherwise there would be no reality on
TV tonight," said Karen Finney, DNC Communications Director.

2. It is sad when a reality TV show with fake acting ranks higher

on the reality scale then our Pinocchio President's speech. This is such an enormous joke on our nation ...

[xultar]

4. In this case however, sad or not, thank Gawd it does. n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Yep

Sadly a lot of people don't get excited anymore to see a president.

[whistle]

5. What else should we expect from a pretender president....

...who stole both elections which placed him there and who takes his marching orders from a shadow government that works for the benefit of a powerful and wealthy few? Unfortunately, Bush can't be taken for granted because he does have the power to bring even greater pain and suffering and destruction to Americans and the rest of the world.

6. a major newspaper (sorry forget) referred to it as a NON-news conference

[Lochloosa]

One by one the broadcast networks caved yesterday and agreed to preempt the first night of the May ratings race to make way for President Bush's non-news conference, after ".'Sopranos'-style arm-twisting" by the White House, as one network suit described it

16. That says it all to me right there.

If anyone thinks the networks are independent they are sadly deluded.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. The Washington post?

Wow. I'm surprised.

[whistle]

10. That's about right...nothing new was really said, just framed...

...differently and the president tried to demonstrate that he was more approachable, more open, but he still plans to follow the ultra-conservative agenda whatever the cost to Americans.

His energy plan is for more of the same, more refiners, more imported oil, nuclear power plants, more dependence on foreign sources of energy. More wars of aggression to further Americas PNAC agenda. Maximize the wealth of the wealthy and leave the rest of Americans to blow with the wind. Wake up America.

7. LOL!!

9. "ooooh that's nasty."

Good work Karen Finney

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. Where do I send her an "atta girl?"

I agree. Good work.

[realFedUp]

11. I keep wanting to hear Trump tell shrub "you're fired"

Go Kendra!

[FreedomAngel82]

21. That would be nice

Now that I'd watch. And then he can hire Kerry. ;)

12. The only reason that idiot press conference was held is

because Georgie's numbers are in the toilet. I'll bet everyone was just glued to their TV sets to hear his lilting voice---NOT. As ususal all the bastard said was basically "don't blame me". He's such a whinney, whimpy little terd. Since the American people got absolutely nothing out of this except his excuses, hopefully his numbers will plummet even further. (I'll bet they didn't like the part about not able to do anything about high oil prices----how many are thinking that we wouldn't have those prices if he didn't lie us into a war the disrupted the whole region).

[ginnyinWI]

17. I was yelling back at the tv when he said that

I was saying, "Hasn't he been the president for the last four years??? Why hasn't he done anything about it up till now?!!"

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Exactly

Point on. Plus didn't they pass somethings during the conference?

[paineinthearse]

13. What a worthless maroon! nt

[JNelson6563]

14. Oh I love it!

"Thankfully he didnt preempt 'survivor,' otherwise there would be no reality on
TV tonight," said Karen Finney, DNC Communications Director.

Brilliant! :toast:

18. Man, that was good.

Looks like were throwing some of Karen Hughes' smart ass remarks right back at them! Yee Haw!

[ContraBass Black]

23. Let us all arm ourselves with similarly sharp words.

This is how we maintain polite proffesionality without being nice.

[Sparkly]

24. Nice!
