Maybe that was what the bush camp wanted to happen. Let Bush sit there and take all the jabs in the first debate, and just tense up and take it again, and again, turning cheek after cheek... might gain support from people... People love a strong underdog. Then in Round two the bruised and embattled warrior keeps taking the jabs but towards the end gets a few swings of his own..., and finish strong with a round 3 with a flurry of punches and an uppercut sending the senator down for the count and the crowd goes wild!!!?
Or he was really tired from visiting with people in Florida today. Either way. God Bless Mr. President Bush. :)
It sorta raised my hackles when sKerry jabbed at Bush for positioning more protection around Irac's oil lines than around their nuclear facilities. Are those facilities functioning and wouldn't it be important to sustain Irac's major export item for the country's economic recovery or does sKerry think they export electricity ?
