Presidential press conference

[civlyzed]

Did anyone else watch the President's press conference last night? If so, please vote.

Thanks.

I would say it was better than mediocre, but not great, so I can't vote in the poll. It was decent, all things considering.

He seemed honest enough during the questions, but not apologetic. I don't have a problem with that. I don't want my president going around being apologetic for making hard decisions in times of war.

I know the "Bash Bush" camp will consider anything less than full regret a dodge. And while I was a bit embarassed at his lack of extemporaneous speaking skills, I think he did a decent job.

I voted no, but in thinking about it further, I think he did OK considering that, to me, he seems to be in WAY over his head. Maybe that's just my impression and it could be due to his lack of speaking skills. Not that speaking skills are the most important aspect of a presidency, but it would be nice if he could articulate his ideas a little better.

I'll give him a vote for mediocre performance. He wasn't spectacular, but, he answered the questions thrown at him honestly, but, as Sampo said, he did show a lack of speaking skills.

But, as long as he runs the country right, he could have a damn stuttering problem and I wouldn't care.

The sonofa B preempted my shows! Why can't these stupid conferences be on cable channels?! For people who care. And just so you think I'm not apolitical, I am voting for Kerry so that we can get back a normal society.

I didn't watch. Im sure it was the same old same old and I heard that there is still no plan for Iraq.

[Gemini Man]

Don't care. Same old crap.

[Buddhist Kitten]

Yes. Conan O'Brien is much more interesting.

Phantom. Besides the fact that people you know are friends with Kerry, why would you want him as president? It's the only answer you have ever given on that.
And why do you not want Bush as President? I'm sure there are people in this world that could do a better job than Bush, but between Bush and Kerry, Bush wins by a landslide. Said it once, said it again, I don't understand liberals. I don't understand why they want higher taxes. I don't understand why the want to government to control all business. I don't understand why they don't want to get rid of evil people. I don't understand why they are obsessed with abortions. I don't understand why they don't want to explore outer space. I don't understand why they do not want people to talk about religion. I don't understand a lot of the things they do. But that's just me.

Well my previous post was just that I didn't think Joel would be good for president. As for the rest of your questions that would involve a lot of political discussion. And I wasn't trying to engage in that. But your questions are very simplistic and bring up the differences in the opposing sides. Of course liberals don't want to do many of the things you ask. Just
like conservatives don't want to hand everything over to big business to do as they wish. But that's what some would say. Don't listen to Rush Limbaugh and think you're getting serious political discussion. Both sides accuse the other of ridiculous things. And the fact that you say you don't understand liberals says a lot. You obviously don't understand both sides. Not many do.
