FOX News says President Bush will speak about Terri's death 15 minutes from now.

[rhombus]

There's nothing he can say

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

[Conspiracy Guy]

Be careful that you don't use up your blame allowance.

[ducdriver]

I think he said that the courts run the country.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It is getting ridiculous

[RushCrush]

Just summarizing here....

"Today millions of americans are saddened by the death of Terri Schiavo. Laura and I extend our sympathies to the family...urge others to continue to build a culture of life, especially those who live at the mercy of others.

strong have duty to protect the weak. Presumption should be in the favor of life."

Yes. I will remember this for what he did not say.

Judgenfuhrer Greer: "It is May 31st. The US Congress is emasculated
and we have proven that the US Congress are pussies,
who write subpoenas unworthy of a bucket of warm Pinellas spit.
18 USC Section 1505 - I urinate on it. Title 2 of the US code - I deficate on it.
Florida Statute 765.309 [prevents mercy killing and assisted suicide] - void in my Court.
Florida Statute 744.3215 [requires that incapacitated people cannot be deprived of food and water]] - void in my Court.
Florida Statute 765.404 [which says that clear and convincing evidence of the ward's intent for medical treatment must be established] ] - void in my Court.
American respect is now finished in the eyes of the World thanks to me and mah black-robed Mullahs."

President Bush was not president 15 years ago. Hell, he wasn't president 6 years ago. EVERYTHING that happened in her final days was too little, too late.

[Lazamataz]

We are a nation of laws. The laws were followed. Yes, we disagree with the outcome of the laws but the only way to fix that is to change the law.... but NOT by doing something that betrays our principles. Chill out

[OldFriend]

No doubt you now see John Kerry as your kind of guy.

Next time you'll get your chance, vote for Hilary.

[MarMema]

I will remember this for what he did not say.

That makes two of us.

[LongElegantLegs]

I don't understand; that's it? That's all he's going to say about the whole thing?

[thoughtomator]

This is the worst speech he has ever given, bar none. His polls will continue to drop and the talking heads will continue to ignore the real cause, instead attributing it to Social Security reform or the war in Iraq.

[advance_copy]

I hate to say it, but the political impact is there will never be another Bush elected anywhere, ever. After a brief statement on "culture of life", President Bush is standing next to Chuck Robb talking about intelligence reform now. This is not the time to try to change the subject. Governor Bush's statement was equally weak. What a shame, leadership is needed. The ball has been dropped and they will not recover from this.

[nuffsenuff]

???

[Trust but Verify]

And that is what he did. He did not go beyond the powers granted to him by the Constitution, as much as many here would have liked to see him do. He is not a King. Get a grip, people.

[thoughtomator]

I'm speechless.

[agere_contra]

I think Fox news led us on a bit here. Giving us the impression that the POTUS was going to talk about Ms Schindler at length.

[mike182d]

W did all he could--within the law.

And to think where we would be if our founding fathers thought the same way...
