He really does think that he's King george...

[butterfly77]

I was screaming and going almost losing control of myself listening to this arrogant ass! He has the nerve to think that no one can ask him a follow up question. Whats wrong with these reporters?

Where are the ones who question Scotty because these are either handpicked or scared to death of this punk. When one of these reporters ask about some part of the spy info going unchecked , Bush had the nerve to get angry. He really believes that he can't be questioned and thinks that he is making the decisions himself. Some of this stuff he is doing is because of Biden. The reporter never got to fully ask his question and bush shewed him away like he was some little minion and he is the dictator or king.

1. How "angry" is angry?

I don't think I've ever seen a President show overt anger before. That's not a good thing.

9. Thats because he thinks he's

king of the world.

2. WTF was Karl Rove doing sitting in the middle of them all?

3. Bubble Boy is going down

He really is out of touch. Wonder if he even saw the Newsweek cover.

4. He had a list. The questions were pre-screened. It was staged.

Can I prove it? Nope. Absolutely every question was prepped. He ran down a list of reporters he called on. Kabuki.

5. And who's fault it that?

The reporter needs to get a set of balls and stand up to Bush. The number one problem with the Democrat party is a lack of backbone.

[CrispyQ]

6. What I don't understand is,

if getting in the white house press room means listening to Scottie regurgitate the same old lying crap, why is that such a valuable position to have as a journalist? Wouldn't it be better to be out on your own sniffing out the hot stories? Arghhh!!! Our journalists have no integrity -- no idea what a journalist really is! And none of them have the backbone to buck the system.

BTW, welcome to DU, theoldman!!! :hi:

7. what I 'm saying is that ...

the reporters who come to press briefings usually come back with a follow up. Even though I wasn't that crazy about Sam Donaldson, he would get on their asses, dem or repug. These so called reporters are scared as hell, at least the men are, the women ask all of the tough questions.

10. Who's the "Democrat" Party?

Don't you mean Democratic Party?
Democrat is not an adjective.

Oh, and welcome to DU. :hi:

You'll find that Republican phrasing of "Democrat" Party is a pet-peeve of many on this board. ;)

12. There is no such thing as "the Democrat party." Pay attention.

The official, recognized, legal name is "The Democratic Party." Just the briefest research should be enough for any but the most ditto-headed reichbot. As an anti-partisan independent, even I know this.

8. Tough reporters

I know we like to get on reporters but for the most part they did ask some tough questions. But Bush never answers any question. He rambles, wanders off topic and spouts talking points (when he can remember them). Frankly it's hard to follow up with a question when the first one isn't answered. The question asker is only as good as the question answerer. And Bush has shown now for 5 years he has no knowledge to give in return.

[butterfly77]

11. At least the reporters at the press conferences..

held with Scottie, act like they are a tag team. When he dosen't answer they follow up and don't let him get away with it. If they did this more often Bush would get angry more often, and people would get to see the real Bush meaning:the liar,dummy and phoney.
