People who like Bush will think he did well, people who hate Bush will think he did badly. Wow, so much gained.
He certainly has been evasive to some of the questions. I like the time one CNN reporter basically said: a criticism of your admin. is that whatever happens, you never admit mistakes-is that a valid accusation?
Bush's answer in so many words? Our Iraq policy was justified.
IN fact, Bush had 2 answer today to all questions:
1. OUr Iraq policy was justified-stay the course
2. No one could have seen 9/11 coming but those problems are gone now.
The question didn;t matter, you got one of those two answers.
Great at keeping the message, but why even invite the press?If you don't like reality, change it! me

He was dodging around all sorts of questions up there.
"Do you think the criticism that you don't admit mistakes is fair?" was eventually answered as "Well, Saddam is bad"
"Why are you and Cheney insisting on appearing before the 9/11 commission together, not seperately like was requested?"
"We want to answer all their questions"
"But why together?"
"We want to answer all their questions"

The idiot couldn't once admit that he was wrong, even when he was thrown a softball (is there any mistake you've made, Mr President?).
When you get a question like that you find some mistake that is forgiveable, then you don't look like a sanctimonious jackass. But of course, Bush would rather look like a sanctimonious jackass.
Bringing up WMDs and insisting (again, even though he knows it's not true) that Saddam was an ally of Al Qaeda just made him look like a doofus. Saddam hated Al Qaeda, and they him. OBL never lost an opportunity to take a shot at him.
He got hammered on CBC Newsworld by Henry Champ, who is usually rather moderate. I guess he'll get an easier time from US networks.
Still, it could have been a lot worse for him.Only feebs vote.Comment

I don't think those reporters were unreasonable at all, I think they finally asked the tough questions that needed to be asked. There is a lot going on, I think it is entirely appropriate for the public to ask him what is going on.

Very true. He dodged many questions. If he had at least said "Yes I've made mistakes, I'm human and therefore I make mistakes" I could at least respect that.Originally posted by GePap

Well, we knew what we were getting. Has the same cringe factor as his father.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Agathon, shut up. Your criticism is not useful and is nothing more then ad hominems. I mean give it a damn rest... what the **** would you do? Let terrorists in this country? Doing nothing?For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

I can't understand why Bush did this. His internal polling must be really dire to force him to take such a risk. Karl Rove may be amoral and despicable but he's not stupid. What gives?Only feebs vote.Comment
