2. I didn't see it, but I bet he was in denial over the sorry state of the economy, right?

7. Isn't he always?
Every time some bad number comes out he is on TV telling us how great the economy is doing and that the consumer is strong. I've gotten to the point where I do start laughing because I really don't understand how someone can be so out of touch with reality (or in a constant state of denial).

8. Honestly, I heard his voice, he then said 'cows and milk'
and he closed with 'strong horses' there were applauses; it was over.

3. uh, what would * know about horses, given that "the cowboy" is afraid of them?
:shrug:

Oh, that's right. He doesn't have to know anything, or even make sense.

4. Did anyone else think he had another injury to the side of his face?
I thought I saw a small band-aid by his ear/sideburn, but it was hard to tell for sure. In any case, his face looked blotchy red.

Wonder how often he hits the the sauce ...

I could not watch for more than a minute. He has got to be the dumbest piece of shit who has ever inhabited public office.

9. i always noticed that he always looks a bit rouged up from time to time
and given his intelligance level and his level of confusion I always figured him as the mantchurian candidate, ya know drugged up and brainwashed into doing whatever the literal puppet masters wanted him to. but then again he could just be a very dumb, drunk, embaressment of a president.

5. The economy is tired of Bush talking to it and says to STFU.

10. He was referncing a quote by Winston Churchill...
to the effect that some people see a market economy as a cow to be milked, some see it as something else (I can't remember), while others see it as the strong horse which pulls the cart of everything else (or words to that effect)

Funny...he talked about the danger of creating "uncertainty"...and yet he mentioned our current state of economic uncertainty over and over...

12. I'm surprised that he is even aware of this "economy"...
if it isn't happening overseas, he doesn't seem to have much interest in anything.
