Teleprompter versus no teleprompter

Letterman addresses the criticism of Obamas over use of the teleprompter. JAWL :-)

Just 24 more hours of Bush

From The Brad Blog   ... September 21, 2001 January 15, 2009 And if you think  he  looks bad, imagine how our country looks. Thanks to him, unfortunately, thousands of Americans won't get to take that look. And no, he didn't "keep us safe," no matter how many times they keep repeating it... Worth repeating... JAWL

Invading Iraq wasn't wrong, it was just he rhetoric

Never known as one to let the spoken word get in the way of intended meaning, Bush explained his use of language in the run up to the Iraq war. From the Times in London , Bush admits that his tough rhetoric had given the world the impression that he was a "guy really anxious for war". I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric". According to Bush: "phrases such as "bring them on" and "dead or alive" had "indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace". No George, I don't think it was your tone or your cowboy colloquialisms, that turned the world against you. I believe the reason was, that you obfuscated the facts. Oh sorry George, that means that you lied and made stuff up!
