I wish these reporters were required to identify themselves before asking a question.
Who was that hyper little twit just now? Bush was amused....
Ken evidently from Texas and refers to some tax reduction GWB oversaw in Texas and asserts GWB "went down in flames" over that issue. GWB disagrees with that characterization and notes much of the relief was directed to senior citizens and since Ken isn't one he may not have noticed.
GWB has to ask for oder.
April up next about troop withdrawal. They have a good relationship and she said "now don't mess me up" as in lose her train of thought. She frames the question, he answers and her next question was on civil rights.
GWB: Civil rights are for everyone. We must shed ourselves of bigotry in order to lead by example.
Next question: The person who doesn't yell will be called on.
Question asked about paying commentators. GWB strongly against this practice, notes Armstrong Williams admits he made a mistake, Dept. of Ed made a mistake, all cabinet secretaries must realize we will not pay commentators to promote our policies. Those policies are good and can be promoted without doing that.
Reporter cites HRC saying the economy on verge of collapse yet says Social Security is rock solid. LOL, reporter asks how he can work with such people.
Ack, GWB cites Clinton being effective in teeing up the case.
