Wow, I had the opposite impression and saw a man who would try and work with the dems up to a point. If he has to abandon his principles in order to get along, than NO DEAL.
I have to admit I mostly saw the Q&A part of Wednesday's press conference. I heard his speech, but wasn't watching it closely (multi-tasking as usual). During the Q&A (which I watched) he was stumbling and mumbling... trying to make silly comments. It was awful.
Zelig was at a business conference and saw a TV with this presser going on, but the sound was muted. He said he could tell just by Pres. Bush's body language that "things weren't going well."
I listened to dubya being jipped on Rush. I was not impressed. If he had dropped the new tone right off the bat and acted like a true conservative we would not have lost the house and senate. His new tone caused the Republicans in the house in Senate to act like puppies so they could just get along. This whole election has me so upset I feel like burning my voter registration card.
