US President George W. Bush said he enjoyed good one-to-one ties with Chinese President Hu Jintao, whom he described as straightfoward and open, the South China Morning Post reported Friday.

"I enjoy the man," Bush said in an interview with the Post and other Asian press at the White House before his trip to the Beijing Olympics next week.

"I find him to be a straightforward guy. I'm very comfortable in his presence, and we will talk about the kind of issues we always talk about."

Bush said he found Hu "very open" about both his own concerns and the internal pressures he faced, and that they could have relaxed conversations about their families.

"It's important to be able to have those kind of relations, because he's got to tell me what's on his mind in order to be able to deal with problems," the US leader said.

"And I think when people study my presidency and find out how Bush conducted foreign policy, they'll see I don't shy away from things. I am not a shy person."

12. Unfortunately, too many of them will be studying "How to Get Away with Anything 101."

And they'll have a world-class tutorial on that.

[Disturbed]

13. When Busholini's presiduncy is really dug into it will be found that

he engaged in a number of Criminal Acts. The Congress doesn't want to get into those. Most of the Dems have been complicit in the Criminality.

[calimary]

14. Yeah, that's what I'm guessing.

That and the fact that we lost the media. We had 'em in the '60's and '70's. That's what eventually forced an end to the Vietnam War and to Nixon and Company. Public opinion was with us. There's NONE of that now. NONE to give our Dems any backbone or lend them any impression that the majority wants this. And they just don't seem to have the stomach to fight as hard, and yes, as dirty, as the bad guys have. Wish I could be optimistic, but I'm not. At the moment, I'm not even that optimistic about Obama's chances. He's taking the fucking damn high road against mcsame, and all those attack ads aren't being effectively or loudly or prominently or immediately counter-attacked. The Obama camp is about three commercials behind. WTF? Are they of the mind, like Kerry was, that - oh, people won't fall for that shit. The voters know the difference. They won't be fooled. Well, the sad fact is - yeah, they CAN be fooled, and they probably will be fooled again.
