Bush-If you teach a child to read and write it shouldn't matter if you measure.
Whoo! Heavy slam!

You Got That Right

[BibChr]

That's called "gainsaying."

The only proper response to gainsaying:

Did too.

Back to North Korea. Clarification.

Six party talk. Five vs Kim Jung Il. Best to work with those people. Solve this problem diplomatically. All options on the table.

Final question Hutch!

[Cinnamon Girl]

Dumb people are wasting a lot of our money in this country.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I'm about 9 minutes away from total lack of respect for the man I campaigned for and trusted in.

Just don't write an opus when you leave.

[Bahbah]

Ok, I'm watching a real president. I'm ok with this, and yes I care about borders. Clinton said nothing with lots of words. Bush says what he thinks. Then he does something about it as best he can.

Bush-If you teach a child to read and write it shouldn't matter if you measure. Whoo! Heavy slam!

Absolutely agree! I actually applauded his statement.

The President then added: " Teachers have told him that the system now shows deficiencies early....so it is working."

[Trueblackman]

Saved to my pictures LOL.

[cajungirl]

What point are you making?

I am saying simply the American people overwhelmingly support SS and don't want it to be done away with.

A president cannot lead people where they absolutely don't want to go.

X-42 had a bunch of suck-up press people. Had he been confronted with a critical, partisan question like President Bush, he would have gone ballistic.

You are listening to all of these attack questions and think he is doing a bad job? I think he is doing great, because he is remaining calm and is explaining things to the people.

[NautiNurse]

ROFLMAO--I don't want to cut into some of these tv shows that are getting ready to air--for the sake of the economy.

[RightWingMama]

My husband and I have been through it, and almost lost our house, and have NO savings to speak of because of the length of our unelmployment. But we are making it back, and you can, too.

You and I have a lot in common.

[cyncooper]

It's more than a little annoying to scroll through hundreds of posts that TELL ME NOTHING ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID.

Sorry.

I used to transcribe on Live Threads but I'm soured on FR at the moment and decided not to bother tonight.

Good luck.

They are liberals,they don't care about out open borders

[Inspectorette]

Grayer or not, W is one very handsome man!

He's a gorgeous man! Oh yikes - "That's a cheap shot" - that one didn't go over at all :-(

[goodnesswins]

Yeah....3% GDP is REALLY bad.....let's get some perspective, OKAY? The sky is NOT falling.....

[onyx]

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

I was reading your good comments - what was he saying about "that's a cheap shot"

[tomkat]
