Does Bush know that he lost the debate?
I caught occasional glimpses of his speeches yesterday and thought that it was pretty amazing that he could even bring himself to show his face in public, let alone appear to be happy and confident. Then it occurred to me that he probably thought that he did a great job. We know that he doesn't pay any attention to the news and certainly nobody around him would criticize his performance.

What do you think? Does he know how bad he was?

1. Yes Kerry did well....
But let's not get too excited. They may have lowered the expectations on the first debate on the first debate to come back stronger later on.....

2. Yesterday, Bush* was READING FROM A SCRIPT.
Not quite as hard as having to think on your feet, is it?

He was also surrounded by his flock.

3. He was so bad I wondered if it was just another bad acting job on his part
done purposely but since this debate was supposed to be his "specialty" foreign relations and the war, I see little reason why they would lower the expectations on that one. He was really really bad.

4. Bush was running around
yesterday spewing the answers provided by his script writers that he was unable to come up with during the actual debate. hey George: The Debate is Over! (better start preparing for round two. You obviously need the help).

5. The reason I ask is
Edited on Sat Oct-02-04 05:16 AM by monarch
that if he has no idea how bad he was, it won't cause him to feel any more pressure in the next "encounters."

8. Does Bush even know that he lost the 2000 election?!!!!
I remember thinking even back then, the same as you are thinking today, "how can he show his face in public"? I guess that his impudent boldness may have explained it then, and may explain it now.
THE GUY HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME --- BUT THAT IS A BUSH FAMILY ILK. NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY SHAME.
