Statement by President Bush with Senator John McCain

<snip>

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, we'll answer a couple of questions.

Abramowitz. Sorry you got such a lousy seat back there. (Laughter.)

...

Q Can I follow-up, sir? How would you --

THE PRESIDENT: No, you can't follow up. Thank you. (Laughter.)

Q Yes, on --

THE PRESIDENT: No, no, not you. Kelly.

...

Wolf, where's Wolf? No, I'm not calling you. Wolf. No, not you, either. Where's Wolf?

Q Right here.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, ask something, will you? (Laughter.)

...

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. It's been a pleasure to see you. Obviously we've invited some unruly members of the fourth estate here. I'm disappointed in the conduct of some of the people that have come. I told John it would be a nice and polite crowd. Thank you all very much.

1. It reads like the class bully left in charge while the teacher is out running an errand.

Why does he get away with his own outrageous, embarrassing conduct?

[sabra]

2. access, the "press" wants access, hence all the "laughter"

[pacalo]

7. This is so outrageous that I've bookmarked it. Good find, sabra.

[gratuitous]

3. Did he write their names down on the blackboard?

Testy little twit, ain't he? Can you imagine how sour he'd be if he hadn't had everything he ever wanted handed to him?

[bdamomma]

4. oh he is really full of himself isn't he, is now time for pitchforks and

torches?

[sabra]

5. he appears to be on cloud nine these days... heck, he was tap dancing (really) before the press con

[annabanana]

6. He was so-o-o pissy today.

(And McCain mostly just stood there looking uncomfortable. . He tried to get a few words in edgewise and call on a couple of reporters, but bullyboybush just ran right over him)

8. The most nauseating statement I heard from Bush was

But they’re not going to be voting for me. I’ve had my time in the Oval Office. It’s been a fabulous experience, by the way. And they’re going to be voting for the next person to come in here and make the tough decisions about America — America’s security, America’s prosperity, and, you know, America’s hopefulness. That’s what this race is about, and it’s not about me. You know, I’ve done my bit.

Worst. President. Ever.
