What possible arguments could one have concerning this press conference?

Same ones as usual. Stupid reporters asking stupid questions because they

a. did not do their homework
b. Think they are smarter than the president and so they come off looking stupid.

I heard the streaming version (not all as it was a busy day) and it sounded good to me as well. Guess that makes me a Bush Arse licker to those who cant form a rational question.

Beleive me there are people right now at the Daily Kos and the Democratic Underground penning spitbubble screeds simply because President Bush appeared on TV. Nothing short of national humiliation and defeat would satisfy these kid's need to prove their parents and authority figures "wrong".

 

Frankly President Bush has massively improved his public speaking in the second term but he simply doesn't address the nation on TV often enough. his radio address primarily is targetted at talk-radio listeners who are already in his corner for the most part. The war effort and an understanding of the long long long timeline neccessary for success would have been well served by weekly national TV addresses directly from the Oval Office.

The PR effort now seems to be too little and far too late to swing the public around.

Was it me or did Tony B look like he was going to explode, his head all bloated.

Trouble at home must be stressing him out.

the left needs no reason other than it's BUSH.

Iraq is not a left or right issue. It is a disaster that was created by a President that did not understand the consequences of his actions and refused to listen to those far more knowledgeable and wise the he. The performance at a news conference is like a leaf on a tree when trying to understand the forest. The likelihood of controlling the violence in Iraq is almost ZERO. We have no good options and this war will be viewed by time as a VERY major error that has caused more unrest then any action since Vietnam.

Think they are smarter than the president

Heh, heh...who doesn't think that?
