Bush press conference: Taking a break from our Microsoft bashing (but we'll be back to in ASAP), we took in the president's press conference. Bush struck us as petulant, demanding, and all-around unpleasant. Would you want to sit next to somebody like him on a long bus trip? No. And there were some moments where Bush was stammering and having trouble making sense.
Ezra Klein has similar
thoughts:
Is anyone else watching the president's press conference? He's doing stem cells right now and seems strangely hysterical. Out of breath, stammering, desperately defensive -- this is first term Bush, and in a bad way. On the bright side, he just said he won't attack North Korea.

Since he's now publicly assured the world he won't attack Korea, they now know to increase their alert status.
The Koreans are smarter than we are. They have realized he lies about EVERYTHING.

Bush lost on Schiavo, is losing the WOT, losing the Social Security debate, and is losing on stem cell research. No wonder he's petulant.
In Germany nobody (especially politicians) will start a sentence with "Nobody has the intention to..", because thus started the most famous lie in our political history.
Bush did it about Iraq: "No decision has been made to...".
It's called "proof by denial".
