More press conference quotes clearing matters right up. Right.

Topic then Mr.bush's response

Filibuster:
Well, it's certainly been a tactic that's been used on judges and Bolton, if this is a filibuster. I don't know what you call it. I'm not sure they actually labeled it, filibuster. I'd call it -- thus far, it's a stall -- stall headed toward filibuster, I guess.

Stem cells:
But from that point going forward, I felt it was best to stand on principle -- and that is taxpayers' money to use -- for the use -- for the use of experimentation that would destroy life is a principle that violates something I -- I mean, is a position that violates a principle of mine.

North Korea and diplomacy:
Well, then let's see -- if it's the wrong -- if diplomacy is the wrong approach, I guess that means military. That's how I view it -- it's either diplomacy or military. And I am for the diplomacy approach. And so, for those who say that we ought to be using our military to solve the problem, I would say that, while all options are on the table, we've got -- we've got a ways to go to solve this diplomatically --

Culture of Life:
Well, part of it, Jonathan, is just to -- is to constantly remind people that we have a responsibility to the less -- to the least of us in our society. I mean, part of a culture of life is to continue to expand the faith-based and community-based initiative to help people who hurt.

Protocols that render the President unnecessary when there's a military operation over Washington:
Obviously, we do have a protocol in place to be dealing with a situation that can unfold very rapidly. And these planes enter the airspace quickly, and so there's got to be something in place that can be dealt with in an expeditious matter. And we have such a plan, and I'm comfortable with the plan.

"A couple of more, then I got to hop. Keith. I get to leave. That's not a very -- a couple of more, and then I have to retire, as opposed to hopping. " (WTF?)

1. Frightening, isn't it?

[The Doctor.]

2. "use of taxpayer money to destroy life?"

I'm sorry Mr. pResident... who's footing the bill for all the dead soldiers and innocent Iraqis?

4. What an idiot. If it was SNL instead of the White House, it'd be funny.

[Left Is Write]

8. My thoughts exactly.

[Dave Reynolds]

5. What got me was

the stem cell question that was originally asked had to do with fertility clinics and what should be done with fetuses that were not to be used for implantation.

The question was not answered.

[uppityperson]

6. Few of the questions got answers

most got gobbledegook.

[Dave Reynolds]

7. My wife,

not the most political person in the world, turned to me during the press thang and asked "how can anyone listen to this idiot and think he is so fuckin' great? He's not even answering the questions."

I like her a lot.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. He only knows what they tell him

If a question isn't worded exactly as he's been told to expect he's lost. Then the "googgledegook" begins.

This is the leader of OUR country. Makes you proud, doesn't it?

[Left Is Write]

10. A point of correction.

They are embryos, not fetuses.

[Dave Reynolds]

11. Correction noted.

Thank you!

(Although I thought that was what the reporter said).

[freeplessinseattle]

12. "to the least of us in society"

wow, what an elitist.

I'm glad I wasn't awake during this crap, I would have been tempted to rubberneck, but don't really need to start the day off with a headache.

13. He makes no sense

How does he get away with it? I don't understand the press continue to protect this man so the public thinks he's in charge. The scariest part is that * thinks he makes sense.

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Seriously, the man doesn't know WHAT he believes.

I think he believes in a nice glass of Wild Turkey, cartoons in the afternoon, naps and money.
