there already talking about it in the COR two pages long now.
but what i said was..
did anybody notice how he only vaguely answered each question, the ranted on the same subject for five minutes after each question?? instead of answering the questions directly he averted to ranting on n on on freedom and how the iraqki people wont be abandoned, blah bla blah war on terror..

As I posted in the other thread:
OK, talk about a "burning bush"!!!
WTF was that???
Everything that came out of Bush's mouth tonight sounded like a highschooler going into an oral exam without studying for it...
That was a whole lot of bla bla bla but I really got the feeling he didn't know what he was talking about!!
He didn't actually answer any of the questions that he was asked and he brought up the same points 3 or 4 times....
And calling Powell and Rumsfeld secretary of state
I sat there watching and I seriously had tears running down my face from laughing so loud.....

Whenever i see Bush on TV, i cant help but see a monkey. I think its because of that picture that been circulating the internet that has messed me up. Typically political BS ramble, avoid the question or discreetly answer something related.

Didn't get to see it, thanks for that. It includes a link to the transcript as well for anyone who's curious.
Bush + Cheney won't appear separately for interviews with the 9/11 investigative committee? What's up with that? Sounds like they're afraid their stories will get mixed up....but that's just me.

Sounds like you guys have never heard a politician answer questions before. Bill Clinton anyone?

Hehe Fox News is always good for a chuckle.
I wish I had seen it, but I'm hearing secondhand accounts of his press conference on Imus in the Moring.
One thing you might not know is that many of the reporters he called on had pre-planned softball questions. They had a seating chart so Bush would know where they were.

At least he could think on his feet.
I'm upset with Bill Clinton for some of the things he did, but nobody ever died from his lies.

Are you seriously comparing Clinton's press conferences to Bush's?
Don't get me wrong, Clinton dodged questions as good as the rest of them, but his persona and masterful speech skills puts a great deal of shame on Bush Jr. any day of the week.
Not to mention the fact that Clinton had something like 4x's more press conferences in his 1st 3 years in office than Bush Jr. has (and they weren't "staged" either). Why is that, I wonder?

What I am simply stating is that politicians tend to avoid direct answers at all costs. My Clinton reference was actually toward his infamous "definition of is" fiasco. I will agree that Bush is nowhere near the speech-giver that his father or even Clinton was, but to single him out because he "vaguely answered questions" is ignoring the rest of the politicians throughout the world. I believe if you go back and read some of Clinton's press conference transcripts you will see the substance behind his answers is no greater than Bush's. It is simply the emotion, interest (at least percieved) and speaking skills that are in contrast.
