"excape clauses"
ONLY THE DEMOCRATS WHO LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING NEED ESCAPE CLAUSES.
Also .. I notice they are bringing up the SOTU speech again, saying Bush made an "erroneous" claim about Niger. We, of course, know that the statement was not erroneous, and that the UK still stands by the statement.
To me .. the President is confident and committed .. not stubborn. They use the term "stubborn" because it sounds negative. The dems are mad because they cannot get Bush to act wishy-washy like they do.

His public jokes about not finding such weapons didn't help, drawing protests from military families. Let's see, I recall the Kerry campaign quoting some supposed vet who freepers found photographed prominently at a Wes Clark campaign rally.
As to the rest of this "piece", Raum sounds like a jilted school girl with his petulant tone. It doesn't help that he is merely regurgitating DNC talking points that are inaccurate (to put it in the best light).

_ It took Bush weeks to take personal responsibility for his erroneous State of the Union claim in January 2002 that Saddam Hussein was shopping for nuclear materials in Africa. First, he let CIA Director George Tenet and a national security aide take the blame, giving ammunition to Democrats and other Iraq war critics. And last I checked, the statement from the State of the Union about Hussein seeking uranium from Africa has NOT been shown to be erroneous.

Another confusion for Liberals, mistaking STUBBORN for CONVICTION.
Feelings are all that matters, no need to get the brain engaged!

stubborn - (2) : justifiably unyielding : RESOLUTE I didn't say that stubbornness is a virtue or that it is a vice.
and....
(From Merriam-Webster) principle - (2) a rule or code of conduct
Being "principled" can be either good or bad, depending on your rule or code of conduct.

Great comment! That's what I thought, they needed a negative article to fill the daily quota and that's all they could cook up. Bunch of Clymers.
To: kattracks
Proof positive that the Left still has no clue about the rope-a-dope strategy ("strategery") that Bush has been playing on them for years now.

(Voting Bush because there is no reasonable alternative)
To: kattracks
While his re-election campaign is capable of lightning-quick responses, President Bush
himself is often slow to respond to major dilemmas until forced to do so by
rising political heat.
LOL! If Dubya was a Democrat, this article would be a love-letter focused on
his ability to "stay on point under the most unfair electoral attacks ever on record!".

Is this based on Karen Hughes' comment that W is stubborn? I'm sure of it. Man, liberals and their media enablers are clinging to the last limb of the tree that's standing in the water surrounding their sinking ship. At this point they are a source of amusement, nothing more.

"He is not the most subtle president in terms of leaving escape clauses in his statements..."
This line fairly SCREAMS for a comment about Slick, but I'm going to let it slide for now...

After I rated it, I got:
You have given the news article Newsview: Bush Responds to Political Heat a rating of 2.
Its current average rating is 3.47 with 138 vote(s).
The article has some redeeming value; he gets some facts right. I reserve a 1 for articles that are lying and factually incorrect.
