I think it's perfectly OK for a reporter to interrupt him when he goes on and on talking about the great values of America. <BR/><BR/>She's asking about WMDs. She's telling him about 4 soldiers dead on the ground--he wasn't used to a reporter being so forthright--it's not their job to be cheerleaders for him. It's the press' job to hold his feet to the fire and call BS when they hear it.<BR/><BR/>And as a country we give lots of aid because of our size, but we are 18th on this list in terms of aid assessed by capita. 18th. Not quite the generosity espoused by the President. <BR/><BR/>I call BS.<BR/><BR/>Check out how we stack up as a country in terms of giving aid to the world,<BR/>http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_com_to_for_aid-economy-commitment-to-foreign-aidLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151628332074616618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-53889027274239766812008-07-18T19:27:00.000-05:002008-07-18T19:27:00.000-05:00Actually I think he did a decent job considering t...Actually I think he did a decent job considering the reporter made it difficult for him to finish his answers.

Not close to being any of the traditional American values that Bush so glowingly likes to speak about. Completely unacceptable and doesn't make us a bit safer here in the States and makes us more hated worldwide. Not good.<BR/><BR/>Bush let Bin Laden go--he fought the wrong war. Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9-11. There are despicable rulers now--worse than Hussein--and we're doing absolutely nothing to prosecute them. Nothing.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151628332074616618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-60957925376303173412008-07-13T21:35:00.000-05:002008-07-13T21:35:00.000-05:00I'm surprised that you think Bush's responses are ...I'm surprised that you think Bush's responses are trite and simple.
