Help- I know somebody here knows.
64 days into G.W. Bush's presidency how many primetime press conferences had he done? Also during his whole time in office, how many total press conferences did he do? I think it has to be a record low. Also is is very funny how the "Liberal" media has suddenly starting asking tough questions at these press conferences. I thought the President did well and he seems to get better and better as he goes.

4. A friend and I had this very same conversation earlier tonight,
and we agreed that at 64 days in, Chimpy Fucknuts was still trying to find the bathroom right off the Oval Office and planning his first "clearing brush" vacation.

Notice how often he's gone to Crawford to "clear brush" since he left office?

Not once.

3. Zero, I think. Wasn't it a huge, almost historic event when we finally held

a press conference?

Thanks for this question. It might help put things into perspective for some folks who don't see any difference between Obama and Bush.

6. And...how many coherent answers was he able to give?
That, to me, is such an incredibly stark contrast. Listening to a President take unscripted questions and be able to answer them thoughtfully and intelligently. Wow...what a concept!
