I will answer why it's a disappointing performance.
The President needs to "MAN UP".
Drop the touchie feelie crap, get angry and lead.
"this where I am taking this country - and this is why"
The man sounds awful.
You guys who criticize his press conference are a joke! The President has never waivered, he has NEVER backed down, and he has always said that the war on terror would be long, adapt to new methods of fighting, and defeat is not an option. What don't you get? Put your head in the sand....
He's not backing down a bit on Iraq. He knows exactly what he's doing to protect America, and he hasn't wavered.
Holy moly..........now a question about Mary Cheney......
Pres. Bush has given MANY angry, fired up speeches..
Obviously you haven't heard them....wonder why????
He is sick and tired of having to explain the same thing over and over to a MEDIA and audience that don't care what he says...they just want to accuse him of lies...and complain about everything he does.
That would be TOO MACHO for many in this country and especially the Euroweenies....reminds them of Cowboys and John Wayne!!!
Who is my alltime favorite!
