This will be tonights live thread..

Okay. We'll put Susan Estrich's voice to President Bush's words. Would that be better?

LOL. She sounds like she smokes 5 packs of cigarettes a day.

[PogySailor]

Really? ROTFLOL! Anybody that thinks Carter had a better economy than Bush is a fool.

[exDem from Miami]

Isn't "dongonyea" a social disease?

[jwalsh07]

That's not what inspires confidence. Sure Bush is mostly right (I don't think islam is able to be civilized) but he means well. He apparently can not speak better. That hurts him

Well it certainly hurt him when he ran for Governor of Texas and POTUS.

[goodnesswins]

You're watching what I'm watching on H&C....it's ludicrous....DEMS are TRAITORS!!! or Sadly uneducated....and I think I know which Susan andAlan are.

[muleskinner]

Savage should stick to the stories of his childhood.

[jocon307]

"Neo-con, Halliburton. You say these things 'cause your argument's hurtin'!"

LOL, we can say that at our next protest. Good chant!

[BigJohn44]

To choose NPR to set him up as the weakest thing! INCREDIBLE! Does Bush know ANYTHING

And to top it off, he had no answer!

His answer to this question was his best of the night. The president confidently said: one thing is for sure; when I say something, I mean it. Not only does this clearly speak to the world that our will will not be broken; but it clearly distinguishes President Bush as a man of action from John Kerry, a phony man of empty cliches.

Speaking charitably, some of your comments on this press conference have been innane.

You know, these questions tonight reminded me of watching the Ken Burns series on The Civil War. Remember how when the war first started, all the men and ladies would drive their buggies out to the battlefields to watch "the war" and would enjoy a picnic lunch just outside of battle range.
This SO reminds me of our nation today! Watching the war on terrorism from in front of their tv's and thinking it was going to be a picnic lunch!!

Bush did an excellent job. My job is to sit back and watch the spin!!!

God! I love the smell of journalism in the morning!!!

[demlosers]

The very pretty, not beautiful, Norah, said the President was stumped, he was stumped, when asked about his greatest mistake...

No, he was not. Pres. Bush was not going to play the snotty Presses' silly game of gotcha so they could get some BS headline.

[Jorge]

Okay. We'll put Susan Estrich's voice to President Bush's words. Would that be better?

LOL. She sounds like Carol Channing after smoking 5 packs of cigarettes a day for 50 years.

[TomasUSMC]

He didn't criticize the Muslims for cutting and burning our citizens. He didn't say we were going to win the battle of Fallujah, he said the oppisite, that we are now waiting for the Iraqi Governing Council to find a peaceful solution to the fullujah battlefield.

That means we lost the battle of Fallujah. The Arab World will be able to say that the Marines were kept out of the city! This is the same exact duplicate jive that went on in Nam.

I believe the President's administration has the correct objective but doesn't not have the guts to get there. We will not be able to pacify Iraq with U.S. occupation troops and mobile brigades. We must do it with the use of our bombing, utilizing our technological advantage.

We need to hit Syria and Iran. We must mobilize this country and put it on real WAR FOOTING. We are half stepping. Otherwise these Islamic Scum will rebel every stinking month. Don't think, out of a city of 200,000 or 300,000, that 900 dead is going to scare anyone. As soon as the cordon of Marines goes away they are going to have 600,000 from all over partying in the streets, burning American Flags and our President in effigy and claiming victory

The more troops we send, under the handcuffing of our present kinder and gentler compassionate rules of engagement, we will be creating nothing but a bigger army of bullet and mine magnets.

My mood is so low, I think I will go back to the underpants thread for escape. If it weren't for FR I would be in despair. This election is so important but sometimes, you just have to escape. That said, Bush is a great president, he did wonderfully. I was longing for him to just step down from the podium, go over and knock out Don's pearly white liberal teeth. I think I would have cheered.

[nopardons]

Keep your day job and stop imagining that YOU understand politics or the American populace. :-)

The mushy middle will LOVE tonight's speech. The elite presstitutes won't, but they won't influence those whose votes W needs to win in November.

[kanawa]

Your prayer was answered.

He is a good and honest man, firm in his convictions with a deeply felt sense of duty to the American people, to the presidency, to the world and to the future.

You are a most graced nation.

[jackbill]

He'll say his "Play of the Week" is Kerry's brilliant "Misery Index".

That's the one that says that Carter had the best economy in the last 40 years????? If Kerry can sell that one to the American people, I'm going to China.

[Long Cut]

Well, thanks. I just got off a 6-month deployment in which I DID participate in operation ENDURING FREEDOM, though I wasn't in near the danger the Marines and Army are.

Guys like Greg Weston make me laugh. he says he'd have "stopped Atta". LOL!

He'd have done exactly what he's doing now...whined, from the comfort of his home. These guys are all alike.

They would find SOMETHING to cry about no matter WHAT was done. Makes 'em feel better about not doing anything themselves.

[leggypeggy]

Regarding Monty22. Don't you know that you are talking to the worlds first surviving brain donor?

[Monty22]

There's a lot of parading going on here. Ok.

However, he's not a good speaker. Even if he's in the right, as I firmly believe (besides the islam stuff, which I know nobody in politics can admit to).

I'm just saying it'll hurt him in the elections. It's a tie race, he doesn't need any 'uhhs' to swing a few votes. Period

[arasina]

ROFL!
