I didn't hear the exact question but the tone that he used when he said Cheney's name wasn't pleasant at all. It was a slam to Cheney.

[Bahbah]

but I'm soured on FR at the moment

Why, cyn?

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.

I could be wrong .. but didn't Clinton move the press people when he was President because they were too close to the oval office .. or something like that?

The President mentioned if SS was not fixed then payroll tax in the future may have to increase to 18% I just wondered what is currently was.

You and I have a lot in common.

I did lose my house in 2001, but have a much better job and lifestyle now. Props to the American way of Life!

[CasearianDaoist]

Why are you sour on FR?

[Soul Seeker]

Dubya is getting an informative BOATLOAD of information out there. The peanut gallery, I'm sure, does NOT like this. It's making them SEASICK.

Perfect description. he managed to put out a ton of information in a short time that they've been blocking the people from hearing.

[higgmeister]

FNC stayed!

[rlmorel]

How on earth did you find the time to type all that????

[CounterCounterCulture]

All three major networks cut out for their sweeps programs.

Just as well. They'd just gangbang Bush anyway if they had time to spin.

[apackof2]

No kidding...all the sudden its vapid Paris & Nicole...YUCK!

ABC Reporter: "He was on his game tonight, no question about that."

[ConservativeTerrapin]

The media could care less about immigration, because they don't want the right answers which are ones they are not exactly going to like. I totally agree that more questions should be asked on this issue, or the President should at least comment on it.

[goodnesswins]

It's currently about 15% I think (7.5 by both employer and employee)......it's HIGH enough as it is!!!

[TFine80]

We've heard all of these questions before. The press is so lame. They avoid the hot issues people care about-immigration, trade, taxes. Avoid anything timely. Only moan and cry about their own pet peeves and complaints.

Another wasted hour of life.

[Robert_Paulson2]

yes.

[Fast5]

Did he say as a closing, 'Thank You All For Your "Answers"?

Shouldn't hat have been 'Questions'?

[UB355]

No worse then the annoying questions
