You’ll notice Hillary’s transcript includes “uhs” and Obama’s doesn’t. IIRC
Yep, I did Hillary was a test case for the media if they could decide the election.
Agreed. It is a made up media term. She had every right to ask for a clarification of which part of the media term Gibson was referring too. Second, she should have known it was a media catch phrase. Perhaps that was the reason in her asking for a clarification, but it got lost on the public. Even I would have asked for a clarification as the media catch phrase the "Bush Doctrine" is thrown about to mean just about anything to the public.

Barack Obama on ABC World News With Charlie Gibson (7/23/08)
And the fact that Bush was more loyal to his staffers than they were to him. I'll always be disappointed that Dubya didn't use the bully pulpit of the Presidency.
I knew Sarah would hold her own with Gibson. Whatever mistakes she may have made, she'll learn from them and move forward. She does fine without a teleprompter in front of her.
She's no Dan Quayle, thankfully. OTOH, Biden is making Jack Kemp's performance in '96 look positively spectacular.
Biden hasn't had to run an extended campaign for decades, and it's showing. If he's still on the ticket 10/1, he'll be a dead man walking.
They want to be in the middle of politics, rather than doing their damn job, throw it right back in their face.
Mediots would rather key off the New York Times and the Washington Post than to think for themselves.
Facts will easily beat them. They are completely curious about Palin's past, as they are completely un-curious about Obama's past, for just one easy example; they are easy to beat. And they deserve nothing but open contempt.
And they can't figure out why their readership is plummeting. They're stupid.
WOW- great find- thank you again :) Interesting- the tone is SO different. He asks the experience and age question- in a friendly and non-hostile OR condescending manner- and did NOT press him on the non-substantive answers given.
He DID press him on his flip-flop on Jerusalem.
Luk 12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Luk 12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Luk 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
when he asked about it I was wondering whatonearth he was on about.
he should have been more specific and now I hear liberals saying she blew it
do liberals actually hear and see what the rest of the country see.
last night on hannity the guy they had on said Palin will go to war Russia, she never said that and had to be corrected
now this morning this henican guy saying about the speech and how she isn;t experienced
er she’s more experienced than obama
Palin could raise the dead and cure the sick and liberals would say that is proof we need health care reform.
>>Bottom line, the “Bush Doctrine” as a term is a made up media phrase.<<
I thought so!!!!
I thought so when I heard it!!!
Thanks, I thought I was crazy.
Great column, great analysis. Bookmarked.
Absolutely, nobody from the Administration ever came out and delineated a “Bush Doctrine”. It was a term applied secondarily by journalists. Can someone here do a Lexis/Nexis search on this? The article itself mentions Gibson’s own words, there are definitely more examples. I’d like to know who coined it.
I was driving my kids to school this morning, and was listening to the local radio that the kids listen to, and they were aghast that Palin didn’t know what the Bush Doctrine was. Paraphrasing, they said that everyone knows that it means attack first and ask questions later.
Ridiculous.
I think history is the one to decide what the Bush Doctrine is or isn’t. Pre-emption is certainly not a new foreign policy concept.
If you had asked me yesterday morning, what is the Bush Doctrine? My answer would be— if you harbor terrorists, you will be held accountable as though you were a terrorist nation.
The Bush Doctrine is a response to the non-governmental (but in some cases state-sponsored) organizations that have become prevalent in our World. It is an attempt to craft a foreign and defense policy in an era when our greatest enemies are not foreign nations with standing uniformed armies...
Thanks for posting.
Look and listen to her for 4 years or Biden, take your pick.
Is that really her couch?
It’s so cool!
Wow, there is an exceedingly stark contrast between the questioning of Obama and the interrogation of Palin.
If Gibson had a conscience, he would be ashamed of himself.
I’m happy because every single question posed to Sarah Palin is fair game for someone to ask Barry. When the country sees her decisive America-first stances side-by-side with his ahh, uhmmm, er, ‘nuances’, the choice of who is ready to lead will be crystal clear.
I thought "Charlie's" voice was weak and condescending. And I could see Sarah's wheels turning as she listened to his questions, especially on the Bush Doctrine. She didn't have to utter an uhhhh, and an uhhhhhh to answer...she looked him in the eyes and made her comments.
This was her first so-called big interview, and her eloquence and her clear diction and her forthrightness came across like gangbusters. She was very impressive.
I think we have a winner on our hands, GO, SARAH, GO.
