Jolly, calm down. You are quite angry about the president.

Nice try, but such unsophisticated attempts at pop psychology really don't work.

So what if he prepares his answers--any good person worth their salt would do it. But how do you make tears come out? I have never been able to cry on command. Do you think that Clinton bit his lip everytime he wanted to cry--you know, cause pain and the tears come? Perhaps I now understand why Clinton did what he did.

Acting coaches teach people how to evoke emotions, including tears. Even mediocre high school drama kids can master it with practice. Get a book. Read a few biographies. Not just the recent hit pieces, but those that go back into the past. Presidents don't get to be Presidents without mastering the techniques of media. Would you really respect a man who went into an interview of this magnitude totally unprepared and decided to just wing it and see how he looked afterwards? It doesn't happen. The handlers would NEVER allow it.

There's art for the sake of art, and there's art that is driven to express something more important. Just because someone is good at something doesn't mean that they're shallow abusers of the craft.

But you wouldn't know about that yet.

Nor about maturity.

And yes, I do have time for honesty. I will have to look elsewhere for that, however. Good day.

Give it a rest. He doesnt have "acting coaches"

The issue here is not GW; it is your disdain those in authority.
