OMG, this man is President of the US. How embarrassing!

[hector459]

Did he even understand the questions being asked? He had canned responses by subject matter and it sounded so foolish to bring out the canned answer that was unresponsive to the question being asked.

[Cleita]

1. Ha ha, my local station spent 30 seconds on showing Bush

at the end of the conference. Since then they haven't said a word about it but went on to other news that has nothing to do with it, no analysis, no rehash, nothing.

[bahrbearian]

2. Those were not canned questions.

Those reporters could have asked any one of the questions that the WH submitted to them.

[demo dutch]

3. Noticed how he waltz around the Leave no Child behind lawsuit!

Everytime I hear or see this idiot, I think of that headline in the Uk paper (I think it was the Guardian) on the day after the election
"How can ....million people be that stupid!"

[Dudley_DUright]

5. 51 Million (give or take a few)

[MADem]

7. I watched with awe at the "I am not a lawyer" dance

I shook my head...no, asshole, you are the PRESIDENT. And if your people aren't preparing you ahead of a major and rare press conference so that you can ANSWER likely questions, you've got bigger problems than not knowing the details!

Ugh, he is a PUTZ.

[B Calm]

16. When he addressed this subject, I pictured a few hundred thousand

teachers cussing the fool..

[H2O Man]

4. Next time

will he ask for True-False and Multiple Choice questions?

[bloom]

6. I don't think of him as the president.

I really don't.

I just think of him as that clown pretending to be president.

[Bellamia]

24. Could it be Imposter Syndrome?

I read that some people, mostly heavy drinkers, pretend to be what they aren't so you won't know how really screwed up they are.

[Erika]

8. Bush hurt himself badly tonight

Again, asbestos reform is vital to fixing our economy? This guy is clueless and anyone watching him, other than right wing pundits, knows it.

[demo dutch]

9. You know it, I know it, a lot of friends know it, but 50% of the country

thinks "He's the man"!

[Erika]

11. He hasn't been up to 50% for a while

especially on SS issues.

[H2O Man]

12. The news in the past 36 hours

has reported that moderate republicans are turning on the president. I think that is a huge sign of what direction events are heading in. Your pointing out that he's been below 50% for a while is exactly right.

[demo dutch]

21. Well check out Zogby's poll, Bush would still beat Kerry

http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=989

You can all thank the Red states for it!

[Clark2008]

25. Umm... that's not what I'm seeing here:

Looks to me like neither folks in the red states OR the blue states much like him except on the issue of terrorism. Yes, his ratings are higher in the red states, but they're still below 50 percent on every issue, save terrorism.

[alittlelark]

26. The high #'s in the 'terrorism' category are due to

'fear responses' - they fear for their personal bod's. Once they realize that he is doing all he can to increase terrorism those #'s will plummet.

The ? is - How do we get the MSM to do that?

[NewJeffCT]

22. I hope you're right

But, I only caught the post press conference spin and they were all praising how he said that Bush disagreed with Dobson on people that oppose him are not against religion (or whatever it was)

[Strawman]

13. Can't wait to see how much I save at the grocery store

after asbestos reform
:rofl:

[bvar22]

14. Asbestos reform is ONLY vital to saving...

...Dick Cheney and Halliburton investors who bought the asbestos liability from Dresser.

[LisaLynne]

19. Oh, they know it, too ...

They're just getting paid to act like they think he's the greatest.

[Strawman]

10. It takes me back watching him

It's like judging a really bad high school debate round where a really unprepared debater still feels compelled to stand up and bs with no evidence for the entire 8 minutes allotted for his or her speech. The senseless rambling interpspesed with awkwardly long pauses as he thinks of the next dumb thing to say until time mercifully expires...aaargh it's like torture!

[Frederik]

15. "John Bolton is a seasoned diplomat"

:rofl:

[sallyseven]

17. So he is seasoned?

Turn him over and broil him on the other side, He is also a fool.

[jean]

28. then stick a fork in him - he's done, as Ann Richards would say

[madinmaryland]

27. Stop reminding me of the comment

:spray:

now i have to clean my laptop again!

Bolton might be a seasoned asshat, but not a diplomat.

J. Bolton: "If the top 15 floors of the U.N. got distroyed, . . . "

[BBradley]

18. Am I the only one who thought that he forgot the name of the Iraqi

Prime Minister?

It sounded to me like he said, "We're working with Prime Minister... *crickets* of Iraq."

[AlmightyTallest]

20. No he's not!

John F Kerry is president. I will now place my fingers in my ears and continue my denial. La la la la la la! :cry:

[Arugula Latte]

23. So our president is a Dickwad.

You've got a problem with that, you liberal elitist?

;)
