Maybe he should start drinking again - how much worse could his decisions get?

So he has no trouble sleeping, huh? Well, that's just freaking wonderful. Because of him, nearly 3,000 American service members are sleeping soundly, too. But they won't get to wake up the next day.

Isn't that nice. W's sleep well while nearly 3,000 sets of parents are crying themselves to sleep because they've lost a son or daughter. Another 20,000 or so sets of parents and their families aren't sleeping because their sons and daughters will never be the same again, because George's war has harmed them so badly. What a guy!

How many people have lost their lives because of GW? And he has no problem sleeping at night?

This man is beyond insane.

Someone get this man a stiff drink.

Now.

That he maintains he doesn't drink, and yet has created the Global quagmire, gives me pause.

Is he???; a. Stupid
b. Insane
C. all of the above

I can only conclude that since we are stuck with him, or face the frightening possibility of a President Chaney (pause to consider), that if there is any hope at all for Dubya it will be in a bottle.

The country needs an altered Bush, a stunted shrub, an altered Statesman.

Or .......dare we hope? An Ethical, not Beholden man of the people. Without meaningful campaign finance reform it will stay the same old game.

We need legislation preventing our Legislators from using Lobbies like ATM's. We have needed this for twenty years.

Until we deal with this issue, we will get the best representatives big business can buy, and nothing will change for the American public beyond higher prices in every aspect of our lives.

We the Sheeple need to reclaim our government.

I have heard many times that when a man is imprisoned....
The innocent man cannot sleep for screaming he did not commit the crime.
The guilty man sleeps like a baby.
I wandered why.
In my opinion, the innocent man is afraid he will be wrongly convicted and worries who will save him. The guilty man just does not give a hoot, he's guilty so why worry about it..for he has no conscience.
Just my opinion which I am still duly entitled to.

Well, I'm glad Bush is able to sleep so well, even with everything he's gotten us into. Glad to know he can sleep knowing that there are troops who CAN'T sleep over in Iraq, and Katrina victims who are still homeless.

"Probably because she is single, her parents are no longer living, she's an only child. You need a very supportive family and supportive friends to have this job," the First Lady said.

A women can't be successful unless she has a family? Is this Laura Bush for real? Has anyone told her that its 2006? Laura Bush must not have any self confidence if she thinks she needs a family to be successful.

I never had any doubts that he was sleeping just fine. A sociopath, by definition, does not let death interfere with his sleep.

Is anyone really surprised out there?

I would rather live on Discworld!

People who don't have a dog in a fight really don't care about other people's dogs in that fight. How anyone can say he sleeps well while people are getting killed in an unnecessary war, brought on by this administration's false claims is the height of arrogance and proves the lie to the words he constantly gives about his grave concern for our brave troops.

Actually what he said, since edited, "I can remember when I used to sleep, I had trouble drinking at night."

X-mas vacation for the frat boy!!! No work, especially no cramming at midnight. No time for WORK.

Time for Bush to start his X-mas vacation in Crawford, Texas. Reduce the X-mas card list, again. (No cards for those who did send a card last year.) Play a little golf, do a little fishing with Dad. Trim the X-mas tree. Shake the presents and guess the values. Make some personal calls to friends (Cheneys and Blairs). RELAX.

And our troops and innocent Iraqis will continue to die in a failed war strategy that could be changed today instead of next year.

Nothing like a well-earned rest and a vigorous start, about the end of January. Perhaps.

Please Nancy -- give this lazy, stupid frat boy some deadlines for accomplishments.

"'Probably because she is single, her parents are no longer living, she's an only child. You need a very supportive family and supportive friends to have this job,' the First Lady said."

Translation: Rice shouldn't expect any support from the Bushes once they no longer need her services.

This is the ultimate hyprocrite.

Yeah and 2937 Americans are sleeping.PERMANENTLY,thanks to this pompous,arrogant,war-mongering,delusional ,incompetent,lying, pathetic bastard.

He sleeps while the rest of the world is afraid to.

How can he sleep well at night or any time with our GI's getting killed and maimed and thousands of Iraqis killed in an illegal war which he started under false pretenses. This interview must show his lack of empathy and truthfulness. Well, no brain, no pain Does he smirk alot during the interview?
The smirk is back we have noticed.

“I don't drink alcohol. I can remember when I used to drink, I had trouble sleeping at night,” the President said.

AND trouble staying on the road as well.....

Interesting...

The first lady is saying that Condi doesn't have a man OR woman in her life, let alone friends.

Wow, it's like she's calling her a loser or something?

One soulless, cruel and supremely pathetic human being.

The sooner this whole family leaves these United States, the sooner it will truly be a United States.

Wow. All of these comments and none of them are defending this nutball. How refreshing.

Isn't it amazing that his supporters have abandoned him? Even a year ago, this blog would have turned into a shouting match back and forth. Not anymore.

I feel like this nation is finally waking up. God knows half of America was sleeping fine too for 6 freaking years.

Good Morning to you all!

President Bush is only one man. He can't solve all the worlds problems. Second Katrina Victims are not going to build Rome in a day. Do we expect the president to? As for the middle east, my sister is in the military, what's sad is everyone over here is belly aching about the war and they are proudly serving YOUR country. That is what they signed up to do, that is what they are getting paid for.

President Bush and his family and co-workers are HUMAN. Not God. Why don't we stop belly aching about everything and starting praying and helping the president.

As for the Katrina victims, they live below sea level for God sakes. If you can't get out when you are warned to bad. I am not going to keep giving money to people who don't want to help themselves. They all ready live off the government. President Bush is all ready given them financial aid. How many hand outs do these people need?

I think President Bush is doing a fine job and if you think you can do better than run for President and try it.

Its easy to critize someone when you don't have their responsibilities. The most stupid and ignorant find fault and remove all doubt about their lack of intelligence by making unsupported comments.

Yes. Iraq. Afghanistan. Darfur. The Gulf Coast. Global warming. It's a snoozefest out there for a president with no conscience.

What's that again, about the banality of evil...?

A very revealing interview in many ways. Our president is having such an "exciting" time doing his job, which lately consists mostly of handing out medals, decorating the White House, hosting his "buddies" for a little Christmas cheer, and so on. Today he had an especially thrilling day as he got to give Donald Rumsfeld an elaborate send off. Why wouldn't he be sleeping well? Except for the occasional irritating reporter at a press conference, this man is TOTALLY surrounded by sycophants, "yes men", and lackeys. I agree with the others who have commented here about the arrogance on display and seeming disregard for what's really going on around him. I especially love the comment attributed to our president about "not wanting to be rushed" in making decisions regarding the Iraq war. I suppose when it's YOUR war and you started and wanted it, you should be able to do whatever you want with it, right?

poeple that defend bush, think like he does...are we supposed to pity them?...i cant see any way of helping them because they dont listen...its like a bad virus u just have to ride out

well jocelynn, you are part of the 29% of americans that believe bush is doing a "fine job". the other 71% however wish that bush would lay down and lick himself.

actually the most stupid and ignorant blindly follow incompetent leaders, consider the 12% of Americans that want to send more troops to Iraq in support of Mr. Bush's excellant adventure

Easy to critic, but most who do don't seem to have a better solution other than to run, hide, and and/or let's invite the terrorists to lunch, give them some French wine, and maybe, just maybe, they won't kill us.

Maybe, just maybe, they'll not be mad at us for not being Muslim, and for not wanting to blow ourselves up so we can enjoy dozen of virgins when we go to their heaven(Hell).

Give me a freaking break. You clowns did crap when our Marines were murdered in Beirut, now you want to express an opinion. Either you believe in the fight or you don't, but keep the same opinion regardless of who is president.

I bet my bottom dollar most of you would be applauding Clinton if he were doing this. Me, I applaud and support anyone and everyone who defends our right to be an American.

Now I'm going back to my Dexter reruns! Where the hell is my Tivo remote?

Nice to see posts here again (hint: ABC, we're not that interested in your stories about possible candidates or which congressman/woman said what about whom. Look at the number of posts for those stories. Nothing. Now look at articles like this one. Hello!

At this time, we only care about what's wrong and exposing it so that more Americans like Jocelynn can wake up and smell the coffee. Therefore, you should post more articles that are relevant NOW! Such as what the Democrats plan to do on Jan 1. Or what they don't do. Or what moronic, boneheaded stunts GW pulls on his 2-year lame duck adventure. And you have those other guys (you know who). We need you to keep focused on REAL issues.

You're not Fox News. C'mon guys, stay the course.)

As for Bushy being able to sleep at night, I don't buy it. His brain is not big enough to support complex functions. Sort of like my goldfish. All they do is swim, eat, and shit.

Sort of like our president.

I don't think Jocelynn read any of
the comments.

We realize your relatives are dying for our freedom. THAT'S WHY WE WANT THEM TO GET OUT OF THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SO THEY CAN STOP DYING UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. WE ARE NOT CRITICIZING YOUR RELATIVES.

We don't have to run for president to criticize our president. That's why it's a democracy, so game over - thanks for playing.

I wonder how much flack George Washington took when his troops were over-run-low in numbers-cold and without food-no shoes-and few friends- not to mention the poor equipment they had to fight with.

Thank God, all you critics, for those men and women of past ages here in America who were willing to put their lives on the line and die so that you are free to critize and I'm at liberty to live and love in spite of the conditions I'm not happy with. God's Word, which I suppose many of you deny [which is your privilege], reminds us that we are commanded to pray for those in authority over us while they lead. Do yourself a favor and use your dissatification with our President at the voting booth.

I salute our president for the effort he has put forth during his term of office in spite of the fact that he is simply a man - a human being. If he can sleep well it is because the Bible tells us that,God gives His beloved sleep [Psalm 127:2]. You may be assured of one thing, "God will judge the President and He will judge you and me!" So when you become Mr. Perfect I'm confident you will be able to teach God things He aparently fails, as you see it, to understand.

God bless our President and God bless America.

Gimme a break...Dubya is a recovering alcoholic. So his comments about alcohol don't surprise me.

What I find interesting (and was the headline for this story - not whether he slept "well") was his comment about Mary Cheney being a loving "soul" to her child. Loving "soul"? What, he couldn't say loving "mother"? I mean, I've heard people call others a loving soul but never when describing a woman's prospective relationship with their unborn child. I guess calling someone a "Mother" is only available to married, heterosexual women.

Ah welllll....the morally correct prez at least called her loving. I'm sure Mary, the veep, and Lynne are thrilled about that. ~lol~

Id just like to say that being from the UK the time cant come quick enough for you to all boot out Barmy Bush in 2008. His puppet Blair should be gone in 6 months, wonder if he will be able to sleep at night then! Oh yeah probably with Dubya. It will be good riddance to the both of them!

Its such hard work betraying his country of birth day after day, year after year, that it is easy to fall asleep. After all, it is not as if he killed 200,000 Iraqis who did nothing to us, and who he knew posed no threat. Uh, OK, he did kill 200,000 Iraqis who did nothing and posed no threat.
I guess being a psychopath without a conscience comes in handy at times.

I THINK HE IS A HIPPOCRITE AND IS PROBABLY NOT DRINKING, BUT TAKING THINGS HE USED TO DO??!!!

God bless our President and God bless America
i doubt that god is blessing america or bush for the slaughter of innocent women and babies in iraq.
bush is going directly to hell and there will be no sleeping for the lying bastard there.

Mr Presnit, if you are sleeping so well, why are you looking so bad? Even sociopaths have a conscience, they just don't admit it. But, I'm worried about you sir. Why don't you take off the next two years, maybe go hunting with the VP?

The majority of you are uneducated rubes, with apparently no understanding of the war we are in, a war that was NOT caused by us or our president. At least not our current president. Get off the blogs and read a book!! For starters? The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam . . .

I'm sure the President tends to sleep well because he knows his history, lives a clean life, exercises, has an awesome wife & family, prays to God, and does his best everyday to DO THE RIGHT THING.

We are blessed to have him as our leader. Those who criticize him blindly should be ashamed. I've read many books about him and his administration, including the 'Woodward Trilogy', and history is likely to treat the majority of his decisions with the respect of considerably more insight than you seemingly shortsighted liberals.

Not one Democrat has a answer for the middle east. Even Clinton didn't know what to do, yet from the day i joined the Corp Clinton trained us for this war and told us that it wasn't a matter of if but a matter of when. If we wouldv'e taken the war to Iraq and Afganistan then, We wouldn't have lost the Towers and all those lives in the 9/11 nightmare. As for lives lost 3000 in 3 plus years, we lost more than that in 3 hours on 9/11. If we keep them in a defensive mode than they won't be able to attack.

God bless the Republican and Democratic party and may God lead them in a direction that will be positive for the country.
No one has even mentioned all the innocent lives that Saddam took of his own people. The girls his Boys raped and made disapear. If you ask me the World is a much safer place than it was on 9/12/01.

Semper Fi!!!!!

so, this war in Iraq wasn't started by this current president? who started it?

Give me a break. This president is out to lunch. He does not realize the grave danger he has put the freedom and liberty our fathers gave us and our troops are losing their lives to maintain. Yes, he can say that he sleeps at night and takes sleeping pills when he can't sleep because his alcoholic daughters are not fighting in the war.

It sounds like a lot of people are waking up in America. Calling us Godless liberals is a sweeping generalization and does nothing to discredit people who have (so far) the constitutional right to speak their mind about the corruption in our government. It just sounds as ignorant as you are trying to make us out to be. Why don't you try educating yourself with something other than the mainstream media? I saw something at Hollywood video last week that really made me want to vomit: A DVD about GW and his faith in God. What a hypocrite!

Wow.. Lotta hatred. Keep it up. Attack his kids, friends and family. Very mature. Keep it up!

Never judge a man until you walk in his shoes. You sit a blame and pass judgement. Remember 911! "W" had to make this country save after Clinton weaken the military and left our boarders unsafe. Most men would have crummbled after 911 and he took charge. Yes he has made some bad "spending of money" choices. But, I pray for him and support him in a very very tough time of our world today.

In your December 14 e-news article about President and Mrs. Bush and their comments on Vice-President Cheney's daughter, it was stated that "The Bush's did not get the cover" of People magazine. The possessive noun was used rather than the plural. The Bushes did not get the cover. This is a common mistake, but I suppose I assumed ABC News was above such an elementary school error.

The very fact that he verbally admits to sleeping well despite all that's going on, shows that he's an idiot. Whether he is sleeping or not, you don't say that to a nation full of people that have lost loved ones under his watch. If he doesn't have the proper political bedside manner skills to address his own people, what do we think will happen when he talks to world leaders?

It's great... people are opening up! Bush is the worst of all time... and hopefully we'll never have another anything like him.
As for me - I think he and his hunting VP belong in jail for life. A partial payback for the men and women who will never return and thousands who can't walk or function collectly again.
Keep the Republicans out of power for a very long time.

The real reasons for this war.
Oil, Oil, and more Oil (our Presidents background)
and how about the multi billion dollar contracts with Haliburton ( Dick Cheney's background)

IT'S TRUE! A MAN WITH NO CONSCIOUS WILL JUST SLEEP LIKE A BABY. HE IS A GUY THAT SCARES THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME AND IS A BABY KILLER TO BOOT. I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS 100% BUT HE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS ENGAGING US IN ANOTHER VIETNAM. A SENSELESS, SHAMEFUL LOSS OF LIFE BUT A MAN THAT IS ON AN EGO TRIP. BAD DOG, NO DONUT!!!!!!!

I think Bush is not that a bad guy he just got stuk in a war that failed thats all

U dont expect everyone who goes to war to come back alive, do u ? I think war is a do or die affair, kill or be killed affair well I mourn more for Innocent Iraqis that are dying daily becos of this war and also for the troops too that die regularly its unfortunate very unfortunate.

If we ever get an honest 9/11 investigation, I think we'll see that GW is responsible for the 3000+ US dead service people (so far) AND the 3000- US civilians killed on 9/11.

The truth . . . it's out there!

I did a google search and found this site about Condi Rice. In my opinion, not having children is a key reason for her to consider becoming president. Consider this:
If she were to fly for a 5 day Summit in Asia, who would take care of her children? And if she was on trip after trip taking care of the nation and meeting thousands of people, she would not have the time to take care of her own children most of the time.
Then the media would write that she is being unfair to her kids and neglecting her duty as a mother.
Sorry, Laura Bush, but our nation needs Condi Rice in 2008. And not having to worry about her husband is another reason that I think it is an asset for Condi not to be married. As Condi as stated in a few intereviews, if it was meant to be, it would be.
She also says that she does not do long-term planning, rather she is focused on doing her job now and letting things fall into place.
www.thinkcondi.net is a group of people promoting Condi Rice for President, based in Ohio.
Republican events are being planned for 2007 and it is keeping the fires burning in the hearts of people for her to run.
Have you seen the national polls?
People are at 42% for her to run and they are staying they would support her as a candidate.
With all the anger toward President Bush at this website, I am amazed there is not more unrest in our nation. Yes, there waa a dumb movie about getting rid of President Bush, but the death of Lincoln, McKinley, and JFK are examples of pathetic action which changed history and tramatized our nation. Living under tyranny and dictatorship is far worse and the only way to get rid of those truly evil nasty people like Hitler, Saddam, and Mussolini was to shoot them, or hang them or blow them up.
Elections are a more civilized way for the people to decide for themselves who their leaders will be rather than to be taking over by tyrants.

Condi for prez; you've gotta be kidding, she's already in over her head parroting the talking points...after all these years with the Shrub she is no longer capable of original thought. As for Bush: stubborness is neither power nor policy. He is not only destroying our nation, he's destroying the world.

The comments supporting Bush here are laughable...except when you remember these people vote too.

All you Bush supporters: your arguments are nonsense and quite frankly demonstrate an alarming amount of ignorance. The world is very gray. Seeing it in black and white as Bush does is very easy and emotionally satisfying. It also leads to all the wrongheaded actions this Adminstration has taken, not the least of which is the Iraq war.

And God is not on our side. He certainly isn't on the GOP or Bush's "side". He is on humanity's side. If you keep insisting that He is, you're displaying a stunted sense of the world.

Hope you all get help. You need it.

This whole administration is all sleeping well because they are so out of touch with the American public. Cheney just said this in a recent interview, "In the interview, Cheney also said he doesn't spend any time worrying about how the public or the media view him. When pressed to react to personal criticism from people with whom he has worked before, Cheney said: "Well, I'm vice president and they're not."
Can he be any more arrogant??
He should be worried, they are the ones paying his salary.

I think he's doing the best he can do! Could anyone of us do any better?! I think not. He is doing what he thins is best. I believe him about not drinking anymore and I don't think he should. He said at the begining of the war, that thousands of people would die. We supported him then, why shouldn't we now? We need to support him. A country needs to suport it's leader to stay togethe. "A house divided agianst itself can not stand."`Holy Bible

I'm from the UK and I don't see what all the argument is about, It's simple really ... Bush started the war because he didn't have any real idea of who to attack for the Al'Quada attack on the twin towers. His thought process probably went something like this - "We know it was Al'Quada and there are factions all around the world, so who do we hit first? I know, lets get rid of Saddam I don't like him, and it helps me with the oil situation ... Noone will ever know that Saddam has nothing to do with the terror attacks on our country and if they ever ask, we'll say it was to get rid of a tyrant before he has a chance to use WMDs, and even though we haven't found any yet, we can just say that they were so well hidden that we couldn't find them. Once we've got that nice steady supply of oil sorted out we can start on Afghanistan, we'll tell everyone that this is part of our anti-Al'Quada mission, they never need know that its actually part of our war on drugs, noone ever needs to know that we're losing that war too. If all goes well, we won't have to tell the truth, we can just lock up anybody that might actually have something to say about it all. Hmmm, people might say something about that .... I know, we can stick them in Cuba, build a prison there, run it by the military and change the rules so that none of these prisoners get to trial to tell the truth to anybody. The people will love me!"

Give me a break, I just wish that Bush and Blair would both go yachting together and disappear in a freak accident somewhere in the Bermuda triangle.

Some pages can't fit in to a 800x600 screen. I have to scroll left and right to read all the text.

Very interesting comments. I think our vote for Hilary and Obama on a "combined
"ticket for 2007" will turn this thing aaround and we can "take care of bbusiness"," for a change!

teeny
