"Pffft. That is absolutely a ridiculous statement, aaaaaand I am not alone in thinking you 100% wrong. LOL. I have no doubt I am not alone, but I do not need the affirmation of others to recognize the truth. You need only compare a typical Reagan press conference with this one by Pres Bush to know that what I say is true.

I saw the Helen Thomas thing. Perhaps you have not the experience I have with watching world class leaders interacting with an audience. A better handling of HT would have been to use wit to put her in her place, but he used none. He merely stammered about. I do think HT should be banned from these conferences since she was so rude. She thinks by being rude she is some sort of pro-peace crusader? she is nuts...

Should Scumbagette be elected in 2008 and slice the budget drastically and eliminate a lot of Bush's spending increases, I will be thrilled as a conservative, even though Scumbagette will always be a slimy two-faced POS. So you would be thrilled with Hillary's cuts to the military and her raising taxes to pay for socialized medicine?...and you have a screen name like yours!! Too funny!!

OOh, I see. You are a "conservative activist" who sees your role as to bitch about everything those "nice people" George and Laura Bush do. (Patronizing in the extreme.) Well, I am a Republican and an American, and a normal person who understands the budget and legislative process and politics. And I understand that the battle we are in is with the DEMOCRATS, not George Bush. You can't praise ANY legislation, not even the TAX CUTS? How about the spending to strengthen the military? "Conservative activists" like you spend all your time in an unrelenting negative attack on people who are doing their best, while you don't say much at all about the treachery of the democrats. I sure hope the conservative movement doesn't have too many people like you, because your attitude is so off-putting it will be converting people to the moderate position in droves.

There is a reason why Tread is negative on everything. He's a troll.

What world class leaders have you watched interacting with an audience? I think Bush was every bit as good as Reagan. I particularly remember Andrea Mitchell's and Sam Donaldson's attacks on Reagan at press conferences, and I think Bush has to deal with far more venom and did it with grace and strength (and not a little bit of humor). SO, who are you comparing him to? Gorbachev? Schroeder? Blair? I think the President did just fine, and your snooty and condescending opinion strikes me as one I would hear at certain academic quarters.
