What!? He repeated the clarification of the phrasing of the question and now he's vilified even more for it?!? Feh. More liberal clap-trap. Yet another reason to beat up on GW...
Nice try. Look at what Bush said:
"I fully understand what you're saying...
What part of "fully understand" do YOU not understand?
There is a huge resentment brewing in this country. The party that first grasps that and works to do something about it is the party that will hold power by 2008. If you consider that reality to be Bush-bashing, then go ahead and play kill the messenger.
Two separate issues, he chose the second.
Leave it to the press core to cleverly contrive a question
I saw the press conference and notice very carefully and cleverly construed questions asked by the press.
GW's statement was relative to the problems challenges which technology presents to the workforce and the need to be proficient in the new economy. IMHO this was not in any way insensitive to what many have seized upon re outsourcing.Though it needs to be addressed.
Damned you could see the exasperation when dealing w/ the Troglodyte Press core. He deserves a vacation and when he comes back, I hope he continues pummeling these elitists further into the ground.
You watch, the boomerang is on a trajectory course which will allow a cloture proof Senate in 04.
