Isn't it more important to check a persons RECORD and not the Rhetoric? I vote based on Record. It's the only thing that matters.... Rhetoric or smooth talking aren't worth a doo drop... it's how one Votes, what one Signs, what a man DOES!!!! And this president stands beside the citizens of this country and does his best to protect us.... which, IMO, is the most important job of a President. And he's an honest, decent man.

Then why grant an interview to liberal NBC in the first place?

They got the ratings, the bucks, and the clout for that seemingly information-less interview.

I guess I don't get what the point was. We don't know any more than we did before the interview. Bush didn't project the best image. I mean, who got the best end of that deal?

NBC?

I'm not sure. But you do ask a good question... a very good question. I doubt the interview changed any minds. What you think?

You have to slay the dragon where the dragon lives.

You did not like President Bush before or after the interview.I liked him before and after.I trust him.Why did you bother to listen?

Should he get raked over the coals first for not doing any interviews and then make his first choice for one on a cable network like FNC that is absolutely DESPISED by the "mainstream" media because it does not adhere to the DNC Rule Book? That would not have been a smart move for his first one-on-one "campaign issues" interview.

Stu, I think you're far outnumbered here as far as opinion about President Bush's interview. Most of us believe he handled it quite well overall. It appears he's darned if he does, and darned if he doesn't in your book, no matter what the issue.
