Q Sir, you said in your speech tomorrow you're going to talk about some of the excesses of the 1990s, when a lot of money was flying around, people were playing a lot of games with money.
THE PRESIDENT: That's right.
Q You weren't President then; Bill Clinton was President. Do you think in some way he contributed to that, set a moral tone in any way?
THE PRESIDENT: No.
Q Can I ask one more -- (laughter.) You'd not like to expand on that?
He had a chance to stick it to the Democrats, because Clinton's Administration oversaw the decade of fraud and deceit and blew it again. What is wrong with someone who constantly gets attacked and lets the RATS get away with HYPOCRISY.
To: TheEaglehasLanded
What is the sense of him bashing Clinton? He'll be labeled as "divisive" or the left will come up with some new label for him, and drag him through the media muck for months and years to come.
To: TheEaglehasLanded
IMO the most important part of his statement, funding for the military, was never addressed by the media...because they were too intent on bashing him over an old, dead, debunked, debunked and debunked story.
To: Howlin
Q Sir, in that SEC investigation you waived attorney-client privilege so that the SEC could question Harken attorneys and your personal attorneys about your dealings. In light of that, do you think it is appropriate today, given the fact that you say investors are nervous about the markets, for senior executives of these companies to go before Congress and invoke the 5th Amendment and refuse to discuss their dealings in controversial -- and on a related point, one of the differences right now between the administration and the Senate bill on corporate responsibility is the Sarbanes proposal to have this independent board appointed by the SEC police the accounting industry. You have opposed that so far. Are you prepared today to -- THE PRESIDENT: Well, let me -- I'll give you my opinion on that. Look, I think people -- obviously, if they're called up ought to tell what they know. But lawyers have different opinions. And these people are listening to the advice of their counsels.
Were you aware he had waived his privilege?

When I was listening to NPR, on the way home from work [don't even get into why I was listening... It's about the only good traffic report in DFW]... Anyway, the only thing they menitioned was the Harken deal. They never even mentioned the basis of the Press conference. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that the sheeple are going to hear, and that's all they will believe... It's unfortunate.

What is wrong with someone who constantly gets attacked and lets the RATS get away with HYPOCRISY. Ahhh... But Bush is no Bill Clinton. Just because they are a bunch of lying, hypocrytical sacks of excrement doesn't mean that the President should behave in the same manner. That goes against his "change the tone in Washington" promise. It sucks sometimes, but Bush never said he would be a vicious politician. He said "compassionate conservative". Like it or not.

Only after I read the transcript two hours ago. Yes, that is significant. It does imply a certain confidence as to how the underlying facts will play out doesn't it?

Since he did it contemporaneously with the investigation he gets the benefit of the doubt, bigtime.

Looks like he didn't think he had anything to hide to me. I'm probably wrong though.......after all, I'm a BushBot, you know.

When will you people get it?? Bush doesn't want to talk about Clinton - because the MEDIA LOVES CLINTON AND THEY ARE JUST STANDING THERE SALIVATING FOR BUSH TO START BASHING CLINTON. He just won't do it. Besides, he doesn't have to - the latest Gallup polls show the American people already believe it was Clinton's corruption which caused the whole mess. Why should Bush get involved. The people already know the truth!
