Thanks a lot W. Now the story will be about his displeasure and not the memo contents.

Dubya better learn soon that playing fair does not win elections.

The first thing I thought when I heard about this on Fox & Friends this morning was that President Bush might be using a reverse psychology.

ABCNBCCBSCNN refused to report on Gorelick or "The Memo". According to the national media (except Fox) this situation is nonexistent. By President Bush bringing it up, especially in a way negatively affecting Ashcroft, the media will start reporting on it.

Tin foil hat off now.

I think this just shows that the Bush administration can be nuanced when it wants to be, too.

He added, "I think that the president looks at this and doesn't believe there ought to be finger-pointing. We ought to all be working together to learn the lessons of September 11th..."

Au Contraire Mr. President/Mr. McClellan. How else are we going to get to the bottom of what caused the intelligence breakdown unless we get to the source of the problem? Enough of this "new tone" crap already!!!! If you can't say anything constructive, then keep quiet.

I love you Mr. President but sometimes you really tick me off.

It is not finger pointing, it's called investigation. Whether Gore-lick is prosecuted, held to account or whatever, we need to come to the right conclusions as to the root cause and these memos are IT.

Dems play hardball, we play wiffle-ball.

His "disappointed" is starting to sound a lot like Daschle's "deeply saddened", "deeply troubled." We just want the truth to come out. Does that disappoint you Sir?

[ He added, "I think that the president looks at this and doesn't believe there ought to be finger-pointing. We ought to all be working together to learn the lessons of September 11th and make sure that we are doing everything that we can to protect the homeland and win the war on terrorism." ]

Starting to get the felling Bush fell off the turnip truck awhile back. and has stayed pretty wooozy since then.. Yep! he's a unite'er and not a divider alright. Smiling like a mongoloid is not to fix Americas "TREASON" problem. Maybe he don't know about the Trojan horse -OR- does and is just sneaking up on them !...

Bush once again declines an opportunity to expose and hold the Clinton Admin accountable for American deaths on the home land. Craig Livingstone is still a free man.

I am a huge Bush supporter but I am disappointed that he made this statement.

We are entitled to this information, especially since Ms. Gorelick felt she could adopt a prosecutorial tone from her commission perch while questioning any Bush administration officials.

I hope and pray the DOJ does not have to hide these memos from public viewing.

McClellan said:
"We were not involved in it. I think the president was disappointed about that."

McClellan meant:
"C'mon DOJ guys. Be fair.
Next time you declassify a memo, make sure to let The White House take part in the action.

[FourtySeven]

Interesting.
