Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman said presidential actions will speak louder than words. "What American people want in response to challenges is not talk but government leaders that smartly adapt," he said, adding that Bush has done so during past challenges.

1. "Smartly adapt"?

Is that the same thing as "staying the course"?

[rodeodance]

2. Bush Must Chart a Recovery--for the sake of the country I hope he does-

but wish a Dem would do it (and get the credit for doing so).

3. Curling into a fetal position and sicking Rove on detractors is adapting?

[texpatriot2004]

4. I think that is Mehlman's take on it, yes ;-) nm

[shenmue]

5. Neither 'smartly' nor 'adapt'...

can be used in the same sentence as the name of this president.

That man cannot 'smartly adapt' to verbs, for pity's sake.

6. LOL true .nm

7. Nice.

Nicely put, but what game would Bush do well in? Checkers?

8. Oh great, more staged events and photo ops

"... Bush has done so during past challenges."

10. Don't forget banners. Those are his solutions too.

:sarcasm:

9. I see!! There's a new definition of the word 'adapt'

Adapt: To blame all your enemies, expect your underlings to take the fall for you, get Dad and the Saudis to bail you out, sloganeer your ass off, and continue to do the worst possible thing under any given scenario.

:eyes: puh-leeze

[elehhhhna]

11. adapt? he mean 'distract'.

[snippy]

12. I think what Mehlman means is that Bush will continue to fling feces

but he will "smartly adapt" by choosing different targets at which to fling it.

13. I see :-) nm
