President Bush will hold a press conference this morning at 10 a.m. Eastern time. He will be making a statement on Iraq.

[tiredoflaundry]

It is what he says that is more important. :o)

[DTogo]

Coming from a CUT-AND-RUN conservative like yourself, your credibility is lacking substance.

HA!

[meg88]

REFLECTIVE not reflexive, Idiot reporter!....

[Txsleuth]

Pres. Bush has given MANY angry, fired up speeches..

Obviously you haven't heard them....wonder why????

He is sick and tired of having to explain the same thing over and over to a MEDIA and audience that don't care what he says...they just want to accuse him of lies...and complain about everything he does.

[StarCMC]

The REAL question is not whether or not he slept, but instead with whom?

[ohioWfan]

Stop what? Criticizing you for your shallow opinion?

I've read every word you've said. And I don't agree with any of them.

Listen to what he's saying. I'm not the one who needs to 'grow up.'

[Mo1]

There would be a holy hell outcry if anyone ever asked THEM such personal questions

Note how they don't ask such personal questions to Hellary and Bill

[roses of sharon]

Oh please, no modern day Pres was going to make the ME glass after 9/11, and kill hundreds of thousands of Muslims who worship Allah, and declare a Holy war.

But it may still happen, if their moderates cannot find a way to defeat the Islamic Cults, with our help, and create a civilized ME. This is just the beginning.

Which is why our next Pres had better be a ruthless SOB.

[Jake The Goose]

I understand all that - I am talking about the first 15 minutes of this Press Conference. He sounded weak.

Relax -

[CDHart]

"Did the media ever ask Clinton if he slept at night after the Waco mascare?"

I don't think so. He also shifted the responsbility for Waco to Janet Reno.

Which is why our next Pres had better be a ruthless SOB.

AMEN!

Newz: It's painful to really step back and look at where we are compared to what were are capable of less than 100 years ago.

You seem like you'd enjoy/appreciate listening to this Dec 15 1941 radio program about the Bill of Rights.

But take heart. We also had the same, or worse, leftists back then, too: Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun.

[Dinah Lord]

You are right on with that one, Txsleuth. I think W's patience has been MONUMENTAL when dealing with this gaggle of silly geese.

[MadIvan]

I'm watching this. He sounds tired to me - it probably would have been simpler if he merely issued a press release. Having to fence with the press is a pointless exercise.

Regards, Ivan

[Jake The Goose]

Ok Ok - hey - I love the man.

I just know more about the value of tone.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Why do you think Hillary's voice is always mocked."

I saw her on the news the other day, criticizing Bush, and realized (again) just how unpleasant and sanctimonious and dishonest she is. I am still not sure she is electable. I think a lot of middle-of-the-roaders, especially men, will be completely turned off by her. She has that "I'm smarter than you" mentality that the voters usually reject in presidential candidates (Mondale/Dukakis/Gore/Kerry).

[Jake The Goose]

Yes I agree.

How can he not be tired... Tony Snow will see this and will ensure that the President is up for it next time.

[ohioWfan]

I'm thinking about your standards for President.

Maybe the Republican party needs to make sure the next candidate for President is a baritone so he can keep his 'tone' right.

[saminfl]

Idiotic post of the day. So far.

Ditto to that.

[Dinah Lord]

"the baritone president." hee-hee.
