That "Stretch" guy was Richard Kiel. That guy needs a serious humor implant. What an angry jerk.

I am curious too as I thought that was not the case unless she is disabled.

What astounds me is that they will pay to ex wives as long as the marriage was so many quarters. But the widow even if she was married to the old coot for five minutes gets the full 3/4.

I have to say that President Bush is doing SO great tonight---don't know who will complain except those that would complain if he came out and said he found the cure for cancer and also all the troops from all over the world were coming home....

THEY would still complain about personal accounts for SS!!!

I thought David Gregory's given nick from Bush was "stretch", but, when he (Bush) called on some other press hack, the President called him "stretch".

I always thought Gregory's nickname was "Rat-Faced Boy."

If she is getting a benefit it must be a form of welfare - my father died at 59, and my mother had to wait for two years before she was eligible for Social Security

For some reason you are under the mistaken impression this conference was intended to be about illegal immigration. He announced it concerned S.S. and the energy crisis.

Anything that has followed has been prompted by the press. If you wish the conference to be on issues other than the two it was intended to address, become a reporter, get called on, and ask him.

Bill Sammon is known as "Super Stretch" if that helps.

I realize this is trivial, but I like the suit he's wearing tonight - very trim and handsome. OK, now I'll get serious...

This is a News Conference. Reporters ask The President questions, and then The President answers.

The president of the United States has yet to mention the border situation.

And he has yet to be asked a question about the borders.

Ed hopes someone will ask the question, not lament over how he has not mentioned it yet.

Who's lamenting? Has anyone ever heard the president seriously address the border situation in a news conference? Is there any reason to hope that he will tonight?
