Transcript of Russert/Bush interview

I must say that the weekday Fox & Friends has become hard to watch, as well. Steve & Edie appear to be true TV personalities--going with the floww day to day. Only Brian ever seems to think and say something that is against the flow. I end up putting on the history channel in the morning before work.

Not a court reporter - slightly ADHD I think. I learned if I took copious notes in class, I'd be too busy for my mind to wander or to otherwise get in trouble. :-S

[Indy Pendance]

Yep, Bush did good answering redundant questions, and the unadulterated bias ... same old liberals. He looked at ease, comfortable, unrehearsed.

[unojook]

D I T T O !!!!!!!

You may not wish to be critical but nearly every post you have made about President Bush in the last month at least HAS been critical.

Then just respond to the "critical" posts. Bury him/her with reason. Truth is on your side. :)

[dwilli]

That really scorched my britches. brilliant debate.

[AlbionGirl]

No, I didn't. Served here. Looking back, Vietnam was a political war, politicians making military decisions. Good lesson to learn, that doesn't need to happen again.

Paging joyless-boy, paging joyless-boy....

President Bush is looking really strong and confident, I'm so glad to see that.

This is going to be a very interesting election, and I think he's not only ready for the fight, he's looking forward to it. I like President Bush's Dad a lot too, but what a difference in demeanor between the two. The first President Bush had a demeanor not unlike Kerry; both carry that patrician's visage.

But President Bush, the son, is a scrapper, and I really like that in a leader and a man. Probably takes after his Mother, she doesn't suffer fools gladly either. Just like enmity and love, respect is earned.

I submit that a Gov't surplus is DESTRUCTIVE to our economy, because it takes that amount of $$ OUT of the economy, thereby precipitating a recession, IMHO.

[Amelia]

I turned on to NewsWorld International, and they are now quoting the President's rationale for going to war - "We knew he had weapons, we knew he'd used them, we knew he was funding terrorists" etc...from Meet the Press.

[Carolinamom]

Check my decimal point....it was point 6, based on your own contrasting figures of the 2 budgets.

[Peach]

We have more ammunition at hand on FR than the president is willing to use against his opponents.

The president intends to run a positive campaign, and that is admirable, but I think Kerry's voting record and his own words should be used AGAINST him. I'm not sure the president will do that however.

[onyx]

I think his politeness plays to his advantage against the vicious attacks of the Dem candidates and McAuliffe.

I do too. A starker contrast would be difficult to find.

[arasina]

The just respond to the "critical" posts.

That has been done, tswind. He/she chooses to ignore those responses.

[MinuteGal]

TR: Are you prepared to lose?

GWB: Listen up, you moron. You asked me that pop-art question because you can't think of any thoughtful ones to ask. Give me my free coffee mug and I'll see ya later. Buh-bye.

[lainde]

Thank you for your transcription! I'm on the left coast and still waiting! I'm much calmer because of this thread!

[proud American in Canada]

HELP!!

Any Detroit area freepers--can you please tell me what's going on? I saw Tim Russert for a second, now I've got some local talk show called "Flashpoint"

Do they not show MTP in Detroit??????

[Mother Mary]

TR: ARe you prepared to lose?
Oh, Russert did NOT ask that!!

GW's answer was Great. I'm going to win because I have a vision for America. I know how to lead her. That's the major question of the up coming election. GW is starting to define the campaign issues as he sees them, in contrast to the dem's talking points, ie, no WMD, AWOL, defecits, etc.

It's the Vision Thing.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I was impressed by the way he was determined to finish answers to questions. Would not let Russert interrupt. Defined the contest and gave complete answers. Great for later use by the campaign, because you know the Rats will twist answers.

[Peach]

I'm so sorry. I hadn't heard. How very frustrating for you...amazing you can stay so positive and supportive - my hat's off to you. The families sometimes sacrifice as much or more than our soldiers. Waiting is the hardest thing.
