Bush's Press Conference

I caught a snippet of Bush’s recent press conference and I cheered. I really liked what he had to say about the recent criticism against the interception of called from terrorists. He said:

I did notice that nobody from the Democratic Party has actually stood up and called for getting rid of the terrorist surveillance program. You know, if that's what they believe, if people in the party believe that, then they ought to stand up and say it. They ought to stand up and say, "The tools we're using to protect the American people shouldn't be used." They ought to take their message to the people and say, "Vote for me. I promise we're not going to have a terrorist surveillance program." That's what they ought to be doing. That's part of what is an open and honest debate.

It’s a great challenge. We’ll see if the Democrats stoop down and take up the gauntlet.

I know, I hopelessly partisan. It’s a disease.

I was glad to see that the President put Helen Thomas in her place. She's always interupting the President, never letting him finish his answer. He was very polite in telling her shut up and got the point across. I would have like to have seen him been more forceful. After all, he has nothing to loose with the way the press has always gone after him.
