Did anyone hear Bush's press conference about the economy today?

[Poiuyt]

He said, "We have the best economy in America!! er, the world!"

I heard that part on the radio, no link

1. For WHO? BFEE?

Not me, that's for sure.

[Carni]

2. Was it just me or did he sound completely wasted?

I thought he sounded like he was to the point of slurring his words--anyone else think so?

[gristy]

3. He sounded sober to me.

I noticed his coke jaw twitching, though.

[Swamp Rat]

4. Yeah, he was only on Meth at that time.

I'm sure he ran in the WH and downed some Jack after that.

[Carni]

6. He's certainly doing something non-health oriented!

Your photo certainly illustrates that the pig has aged tremendously over the last four years!

[Carni]

5. I didn't actually watch him

I could hear *it* talking but wasn't looking at the TV.

I swear I thought he was slurring his words but maybe it was just his typical stammering and stupidity that caught my ear.

[flordehinojos]

7. yes...yes, i thought that too at least on the couple of soundbites i heard

tonight ... i also thought that if he had not paused in the pauses that he did take, he could have additionally sounded disorganized.

[Carni]

8. It was a pathetic display by him as per usual

I don't know why I even torment myself with listening to that *thing*

[flordehinojos]

9. i usually dont, except in soundbites. sometimes i do like to watch him

make the faces he makes (but then i keep the remote on MUTE and unmute it only once in a while when his face, or his jaw, tell me that he is either angry, lying like hell, or looking like he is about to shed some crocodile tears.

[Carni]

10. Same here unfortunately

I always think *I'll miss something* if I don't watch (yeah I would miss that asshole sending my blood pressure up)

Have you ever slapped the TV while he's talking?

I have done that a couple of times and it hurt my hand.

[flordehinojos]

11. No. i've not slapped the TV while * is on, but i've yelled at it (or him)

like mad!

:)

[Mutley]

13. He sounded the way one of my professors sounds when

he 'switches his medication'. :rofl: And I'm not kidding, either. :cry:

[rustydog]

12. 250 thousand plus jobs sounds great! he forgot the 30,000

layoff coming up and 7 plant closures.
Or the marked closing way down...

Is this what they call "spin"?

[Mutley]

14. He also forgot to listen to Alan Greenspan...

LONDON (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan offered twin warnings at home and abroad on Friday about the urgency for the United States to tackle its huge budget deficits to preserve the global economy's health.

In a keynote speech in London ahead of his final appearance as a key participant in a Group of Seven finance ministers' gathering, Greenspan deplored a move toward unstable budgets and trade protectionism that could trigger a messy unwinding of world financial imbalances.

"If...the pernicious drift toward fiscal instability in the United States and elsewhere is not arrested and is compounded by a protectionist reversal of globalization, the adjustment process could be quite painful for the world economy," he told a conference.

The 79-year-old Greenspan, who steps down at the end of January, appeared intent on rounding out his 18-year tenure with a sharper call for discipline in government spending while time remains to get U.S. finances under control.
