LIVE BUSH- Formal Press Conference at Museum of Science & History

[kpete]

“When history looks back, I’d rather be judged as solving problems and being correct, rather than being popular,” Bush said.



Looks like he won't be either...

[sutz12]

1. Science and History....his two best subjects.

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[Corgigal]

2. I thought Bush didn't care

what the history books said because we all will be dead? I guess his poll numbers must be bothering him after all.

[OhioChick]

3. "The Museum of Science & History"

How fitting.....:sarcasm:

[dysfunctional press]

49. it's the Museum of Science and INDUSTRY.

[ProfessorGAC]

78. Hey, I Said That Already!

It was bugging me too! When i was a kid, that was my favorite museum! I still get a kick out of that place! My wife and i took my niece there last winter and it's still a cool museum. A great combination of kid-friendliness, without dumbing it down for the adults.
The Professor

[eppur_se_muova]

82. OK, something ELSE he's known for -- industry. nt

[kpete]

4. Productivity is high

Things are working

I am at Museum to show blah, blah, blah

reading scores

teachers are teaching

Oh Boy, - he is on a roll today

interconneticuted world

[Avalux]

5. In other words, I don't give a damn what the people think.

Not as if it's our country or anything - not as if our voices matter - right George?

[liberalmuse]

6. He's so deluded!

Guess what, Bush, you're WRONG and every sane person on the planet despises you! History will show that you were the worst mass-murdering despot on the planet since 1945.

[bdamomma]

27. we are sane

because we are not living in denial, he is truly no better than the extreme religious fanatics running around this country.

he gets me sick.:puke:

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

7. It's not a press conference yet...just a speech

he wants to make sure most of the TV viewers have changed the channel, before the questions begin..

edited for the word "viewers"

[tridim]

11. He's going to take questions..

and he's going to be in a pissy mood. Not good for his PR tour.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

25. But first, he will filibuster the press and the people..

Bla Bla Bla Terror Bla Bla Bla

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

21. press conference or praise conference?

hard to tell most of the time.

[AspenRose]

8. Immigration

uh-oh

[Marie26]

9. How nice

So he can ignore everything that the experts & critics say, because he knows that history is on his side. History is a lot like God in that way.

[msongs]

10. any REAL journalists/reporters there or just the boot lickers in the

washington press corpse (yes, corpse).

[Norquist Nemesis]

16. Local journalists are supposed to have the 'privilege'

I expect it will be along the lines of:
Mr. President, how did you like you birthday cake?
Mr. President, will you come to Chicago if the Olympic Games are here?
Mr. President, have you been to the top of the Sears Tower?

[AspenRose]

12. I swear, if I hear "do the jobs that Americans aren't doing" ONCE MORE

I will scream

[abluelady]

41. And Don't Forget "It's Hard Work"

How many times in a speech does he say that. He is such a moron. And then when he couldn't remember the reporter's question because he is 60 now, duh, why don't you resign if you can't remember a reporter's question. His brain never worked now that he can use age as an excuse why not use it as an excuse to resign. I HATE THIS MAN.

[bigendian]

13. Any good reporters from Chicago?

Maybe some that are familiar with organized crime? If so, there might be some hard questions.

[Ilsa]

14. I need to go do something more important, like watch reruns of

The Price Is Right or Dukes of Hazzard.

[kpete]

definitely would be a step up from this...

way more intellectual

Boy, he is really "on something" today...

"we do alot of stuff in Washington..."

[Ilsa]

15. Now he's against amnesty? Flip-flopper! eom

[bdamomma]

17. well he's not correct and not popular.

[snappyturtle]

18. He brought up another sore spot.....

with me, anyway. Giving the No Child Left Behind any credit is baloney. He's headed toward privatization of education....give the people of Chicago a choice.....charter schools.....blah,blah,blah.

[AspenRose]

19. It's Hard Werk!

Terra! Terra! Terra!

[Swamp Rat]

20. Oh, he'll be remembered all right!

[havocmom]

79. One of your best there Swamp Rat!

Life irritating art ;)

[WestHoustonDem]

22. I count 3x "It's hard work"

I haven't listened to him speak in a long time. It's like he's spoofing himself!

[OhioChick]

34. He wouldn't know what

"hard work" was if it bit him in the ass.

[MoonRiver]

23. His horrible speaking style.

I hardly ever can stomach listening to this idiot, but maybe I'm becoming desensitized.

Bushisms aside, he has some very irritating speaking quirks. First, he raises his voice at the end of almost every sentence, if not clause. This always sounds like he's asking a question. To me this is indicative of a person who has no self confidence in what he's saying and is asking for affirmation. Second, he semi-shouts when making declarative statements, like he is trying to drown out any possible negative statements in response to his drivel.

And he keeps repeating that insipid statement of his: IT'S HARD WORK! :argh:

Don't know how much longer I can suffer this fool. My remote is close at hand. :puke:

[bdamomma]

30. he's not ever going to say what we want him to say, never

because he is the decider, geez, this guy has got to go. I am tired of having a "no class" president. sigh...........

[sinkingfeeling]

43. Typical of Valley girls. Or people who drank too much booze and

snorted too much cocaine.

[Tesha]

46. That's called "Up-talk"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptalk

Tesha

[MoonRiver]

63. It's girly talk! Fits *.

:rofl:

[Alizaryn]

24. It's Hard Work ...

He's back to that line again.

[oasis]

26. No applause so far.

:-(:nopity:

[kpete]

28. Oh boy

???s

[bigendian]

29. War on terror.

Soon his speech pattern will become choppy and strident ending in screech mode. That will leave the impression that he is serious and he is warning us of great danger.

[bdamomma]

31. did he bring up 9/11 yet?

[varun]

32. Did the chimperor look at his ancestors

- the great apes and wonder if he is the "missing link"?

[ProfessorGAC]

33. I Think That's "Museum Of Science & Industry"

The Field Museum is the one dedicated to historical exhibits. The other big museum in Chicago is the Museum of Sciene & Industry. It's south down Lake Shore Drive about 5 miles or so.
The Professor

[oasis]

35. Paraphrase:"Are your going to continue absuing your presidential power?"

Chimpy dodges the question. He scolds reporter for her "loaded" question.

[otokogi]

36. same excuse Imperial Japan used in WWII re: Illegal Combatants

what a freak, the neoCONs MUST be stopped.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

37. Wow, we have a working anti-missle system????

[otokogi]

38. * sounds like a used car salesman

:puke:

[MoonRiver]

40. Like a BAD used car salesman.

I'd be out the door in 5 minutes. :puke:

[otokogi]

56. everytime i hear him speak, i cringe & my personal alert system goes RED

[otokogi]

67. with the corny jokes that he laughs at the hardest and longest

:crazy:

[blindersoff]

39. he keeps making references to being 60

as if that is some lifelong goal he has achieved... can't stand this jerk.

[digno dave]

50. he is so amused at the accomplishment

[kpete]

42. build more refineries

answer to global warming?

[bdamomma]

59. and screw up the environment even more

[bigendian]

44. I understand now.

bush's performance with harper yesterday was so bad that this was arranged to get that taste out of his mouth.

Even though Bush's answers are bad doesn't mean this whole thing isn't scripted. He has some idea of who will ask the next question.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

45. Prove you won either election, sir.

[digno dave]

47. he looks at these press conferences as his opportunity at stand up

such a ham

[otokogi]

48. says we will be SURPRISED by 06 election results (BBV)

:wow:

[otokogi]

51. Can we sustain a war on 3 fronts? (NK)

he is running out of the war option... good thing he still got the nuke option :nuke:

[otokogi]

54. * says we can solve NK problem diplomatically

:shrug:

[digno dave]

52. not any more we won't

[bdamomma]

65. oh oh

did he have a smirk on his face when he said that.

[otokogi]

70. yes

made a corny joke about how astute the M$M is so they wouldn't be surprised.

[otokogi]

53. Refuses to acknowledge pulling the inspectors from iraq in 03

says we were right going in.

[Ilsa]

68. He danced all around not saying "WMD".

He was scared to death he was going to let it slip and someone would follow up with, "But he had no WMD to disclose!"

[digno dave]

55. PENINSALA!!

[Ilsa]

62. No, it's PenenCHULA! nt

[digno dave]

71. thanks for the phonetic correction!

[oasis]

57. "UN resolution". I remember Bush saying "show your cards" and then

calling off the vote for a second resolution because the votes weren't there.:think:

[kpete]

58. OH MY GOD

He has CROSSED THE LINE

He says he is Concerned with "the little children"

WHAT ABOUT THE LITTLE CHILDREN IN IRAQ???????????

[digno dave]

60. Suzanne breaks his balls!!! Who is she?

"Maybe you know more than i do!?!?!?!?!"

[hedgehog]

72. What a bully!

He's trying to get out of the question by (trying) to make the reporter look stupid!

[otokogi]

61. Can you VERIFY that? - chimp to reporter re: NK NUKES

but he sure can't :wow:

[otokogi]

64. he is backed in a corner he can't get out - hope he wakes the fuck up!

the press are asking some good questions

[digno dave]

66. Disputes story about CIA disbanding search for Bin Laden

vehemently

[kpete]

69. liar, liar

Q. You said you wanted OBL Dead or Alive
CIA Has disbanded unit tracking down


Bush: Its not true - no ands ifs or buts

He plots and plans

9/11, 9/11, 9/11

[shadowknows69]

73. OMG

We are killing women and children to achieve a tactical objective. Why can't one reporter come back with that?

[npincus]

80. watch the MSM NOT call him on the whopping whopper of a FIB

[Ilsa]

74. I'm very pleased with this one. These people are

going after him. Very little in the way of softballs. Of course, he's playing dodgeball. "freedom" blah blah blah.

[bettyellen]

75. CULTURAL ELITISM TO THINK WE CAN'T INVADE ANYONE WE WANT?

he is slurring his words.

[stellanoir]

76. * is a reincarnationalist . . .???

Withdrawal of our troops "would send a terrible message to the troops we sacrificed"

[shadowknows69]

77. I couldn't take it after he mentioned graceland

n/t

[eppur_se_muova]

81. "rather be...solving problems and being correct" Too bad he's NEITHER !!

We'd all be so much better off if managed to get SOMETHING right occasionally!

[NYC Liberal]

83. Where's everyone watching?

CNN, MSNBC have a TERRA ALERT!! press conference from NYC....

[blues90]

84. why does he not just stay on his ranch ?

The guy is a complete idiot , a listening tour , give me a break , he can't keep his bully inspired trigger affect retained . He says nothing we have not heard 50,000 times . We should be interested in his little outings to graceland , who gives a shit .

i just can't watch him one more second and refuse to ever again . Chicago is my hometown , I was born and raised there even though I no longer live in Illinois . I would like to move back , it is not a bush city .
