What's the matter with Bush advisers? Why didn't someone prepare him to answer this question? He didn't have to give a truthful response, just an answer, any answer, so as to confuse the enemy. He looked very foolish with his response. Heads should roll for crying out out!!!

I didn't think he looked foolish at all. In fact, I took his response as thoughtful, honest and had shown modesty.

Here's a man that is President of the United States, showing the traits I listed above, that we all so dearly missed during the Clinton years. Foolish? Nope. Clinton was the one that looked foolish.

I agree. The question might have caught him off guard for a moment, but those who understand somewhat how he thinks, know that the President doesn't sit around wondering what people think of him. He's not self-absorbed.

The dems are always preening and looking in the mirror and constantly wanting to know if they are doing good. They never do anything without first having a poll approving the activity.

Bush already knows and believes in himself, and he believes he's doing the right thing. He expects history will be more than willing to point out his mistakes.
