Whew! I have now read this entire thread! (No applause is necessary.)

The President did very well. No stumbling, calm, controlled, and somber, as he should be on the brink of war. If he came on like a hot shot Saddam would probably launch a shot tonight.

People forget that we are trying to sneak up on him in plain sight. He thinks that we will be contained by the UN...and we need to keep him thinking that until the bombs start to drop.I am so glad and grateful that this man is our president. He is doing the very best job he can, and that is all we can ask.

Thanks for this thread, Howlin. It is interesting to read others' reactions after you have already seen the press conference.

Oh, and Bill Plante is really obnoxious, along with that fat bearded guy from CBS and Terry Moran. AND HELEN WAS IGNORED! Ha!

George W. Bush

Pray for our President daily
It's the right thing to do
His burdens are larger than ever
And more troubles are about to ensue

Most powerful man in the world
Sounds wonderful but it's not
For him every waking minute
The fires are burning hot

His somber mein is not an act
Lives are on the line
Much rides on his every decision
Freedom for yours and mine

So take the time to lift him up
To the One Who is over all
And he'll come through and make us proud
With the strength to fulfill his call

Terry Moran re: the word "arrogant:"

Notice how Bush is referring to everyone by their first names?

That fat bearded guy from CBS was Mark Knoller, and I hear his WH reports every day in the car. I've always wondered what he looked like, because he has the most obnoxious pompous and breathy radio voice.

He looks as bad as I figured. He has a radio face.
