I heard Greggie on IMUS and he sounded like he was stoned and Imus called him on it!

Did W just say "HUSH?"

[Bahbah]

I strongly believe that the Dist. COurt ruling on the terrorist surveillance program was flawed. That's why it's on appeal.

[JFC]

If only we could be sure that Joe Schmo is actually watching this. (Maybe he's sitting in a Jiffy Lube waiting room right now and paying attention with half an ear.)

Well, I guess we just have lots of talking to do! Get Busy!

Bush: Women pulled out of refugee centers and raped. Level of frustration they aren't doing enough. The UN could do a better job managing the taxpayers money. Better accountability. I hope they still stand for liberty and support call to end tyranny in the 21st Century. Looking forward - good experience for a west Texas fellow to go. My message is hope. My belief is the civilized world must stand with modern, reformist people.

?: Evesdropping program (president interrupts and calls it the terrorist program, hutch)

You overstepped your authority so is your willingness to work with Congress now an acknowledgement of that?

Bush: I think the court ruling was flawed, that is why it's on appeal. We're working with Congress...The Hamdi decision - other presidents have...I couldn't get it.

?: Polls show more people focused on economy than international issue. Can you contrast what will happen if Republicans vs. Democrats control Congress - what will happen to the economy.

Bush: I don't think Democrats will take over. Ecnonmy strong.

[Fudd Fan]

I doubt that W has shown all of his aces...

[4yearlurker]

This reminds me of the Matt Lauer interview this week. The president is desperately trying to tell these liberal "reporters" that we are at war with an enemy that wants to kill you and your family. All the media looks like a deer in the headlights. They don't get It or don't want to get it. Truly frightening!

[Deo volente]

"It's not eavesdropping. We call it the terrorist surveillance program."

[defconw]

No some guy named Hellman I think. We should be so lucky.

[mhking]

"I believe the ruling was flawed."

Thank you!!!! It's about damn time he used plain English instead of trying to get hoity-toity.

He's best at speaking plainly. Quit being afraid of stepping on toes and just say it!

[onyx]

I wish this was being held in prime time.

[RightWhale]

I'm wondering if THIS is the day he decided to show all his ACES

The Pres never shows his aces, not any of them.

[arbee4bush]

Just laid down the gauntlet. No, the Dems are NOT going to take over congress.

[JFC]

Did W just say "HUSH?"


No, he told him ..... he to sit down! Next question!

[Jrabbit]

I'm still giggling over that! I Love W

[sofaman]

thanks otis...OTS...Otis Transcription Service..

[Peach]

I thought it was this week but it's next week. He didn't say what day.

Bush: They call it a tax on the rich, but that's not the way it works. LOL

[mwl1]

Lindsay Graham is playing with political fire on this. I am convinced he's just stupid, or wants to be defeated in the 2008 GOP primary in South Carolina.

McCain can't save him in SC. Bush, however, could.

[Txsleuth]

He has has a couple of days to get mad...after meeting with McCain and the other goons..

DON'T give him time to work up a good TEXAS MAD!

[onyx]

Woo-hoo!
Nailing demorats with tax increases.

"If only we could be sure that Joe Schmo is actually watching this. (Maybe he's sitting in a Jiffy Lube waiting room right now and paying attention with half an ear.)"

How very condescending of you. Sounds more like a comment from DU.
