Glad to have found this web site. I'm new to blogging and began at a conservative website. Which I recommend, it gives you crazy insight on how affective Bush's administration has brainwashed America. Brainwashing which I don't even think was done very well. It's all very sad really. I don't think this would've happened in a younger America. Our society is numb and dumb. Any who, this web site is a fresh of breath air.

Back to business:

This is a press conference in which Bush discusses the Abramoff pix:

With so much speculation in Washington focusing this week on photographs of President Bush together with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the President chose to address the issue at a news conference Thursday morning. Here are some excerpts, taken from a White House transcript...

Q What do you hear or your staff hear about releasing of photographs of Jack Abramoff with you, Mr. President? If you say you don't fear anything, tell us why you won't release them?

THE PRESIDENT: She's asking about a person who admitted to wrongdoing and who needs to be prosecuted for that. There is a serious investigation going on, as there should be. The American people have got to have confidence in the — in the ethics of all branches of government. You're asking about pictures — I had my picture taken with him, evidently. I've had my picture taken with a lot of people. Having my picture taken with someone doesn't mean that I'm a friend with them or know them very well. I've had my picture taken with you — (laughter)— at holiday parties. My point is, I mean, there's thousands of people that come through and get their pictures taken. I'm also mindful that we live in a world in which those pictures will be used for pure political purposes, and they're not relevant to the investigation.

Q Do you know how many?

THE PRESIDENT: I don't have any idea...

You know what really pisses me off?

"The American people have got to have confidence in the — in the ethics of all branches of government."

Are you f***ing kidding me? "Confidence"?!? That's the problem with this country, who ever trusts their government is a fool. Somehow the foundations of this country are now opposite. We've lost our eye on the government and now they're monitoring us!

:grr:
