Bush to Hold 10:45am News Conference
October 17, 2007 9:08 AM
ABC News' Ann Compton and Jennifer Duck Report: President Bush will hold a 10:45am news conference this morning from the White House.
Offering something of an umbrella lead, President Bush is intending to open his press conference with a statement on a broad range of domestic issues including, in no particular order, taxes, spending, budget, SCHIP veto, No Child Left Behind, and of course, FISA and national security measures.
In the month since his last news conference, Bush has vetoed a popular children’s health bill, and threatened to stop a host of other congressional measures. He’s giving Congress a hard time on spending too much, while assuring Americans the US economy is strong and growing, despite a weakness in the housing industry.
The Press conference will be held in the high tech new press briefing room at the White House where reporters were already gathering for the day's regular briefings.

Mr 24% speaks. Must mean we're going to invade somewhere soon.

Our imperious leader is about to speak!

This idiotic lame excuse for a leader hasn't done anything worthwhile in almost seven years. Why does the boob think he can do anything now?
Posted by: Rick | Oct 17, 2007 9:42:10 AM
I don't care what he has to say anymore. Unless he says he's going to resign, I ain't interested!

uh huh... As if I would watch that puppethead... lemme guess... he will make a statement that will OPEN THE DOOR TO INVADING IRAN... right? All the rest is just distractive fluff....

Here comes the invasion of Iran... Anybody else remember when we used to live in a Democracy? Do you think we ever will again?
Posted by: David Beal | Oct 17, 2007 9:52:13 AM
Why would I watch this? So Bush can lie in my face again? Forget it!
Posted by: MM | Oct 17, 2007 9:59:01 AM
Hopefully we take out IRAN's refineries. Let'em scramble for fuel, that'll keep them busy for a while.

The pot calls the kettle black! Bush gets on Congress about spending? The man who has spent hundreds of BILLIONS on his own personal war of vengeance? It's perfectly OK to do this, but don't you DARE spend a penny more on child health care than I want you to! Dammit, don't you know that providing children with adequate health care will lead to socialized medicine? Can't you figure out that if you spend 30 billion more on SCHIP I won't be able to spend it on Halliburton contracts? What's wrong with you people? Don't you know that I'M the DECIDER?

Your entire life so far would be impossible if it weren't for men of war. Why must we listen to wimpy liberals now? In fact, put the liberals on the front line after they are drafted. They're useless anyway.

I'm sure he's going to talk about how everything is fine, just fine. The economy is booming, the war is going perfectly, China and Russia love us and we have nothing to worry our pretty little heads about...
It's amazing with his approval rating that we're doing absolutely nothing about it (myself included). A "news" source should put a poll out there and report on whether we want him impeached rather than just asking if we think he's doing a good job.
Gotta get the ball rolling somehow.
I've been both Republican and Democrat in my life. I don't care what party he's affiliated with.

You people are idiots. Lets see, we havent had a terrorist attack in the US since 9-11, An evil corrupt threat to national and economic security is dead, Saddam Hussein, allowing a country to begin to grow in freedom, sure, oil prices are high, but thats not any one persons fault, we all can probably share the blame for that, What Im saying is give it up with the Bush hating and grow up.

Do not spoon feed us anymore of your Billy Bob politics. Americans have had enough! No more bamboozled politics.

I may watch this, if only for a good laugh.

What you guys are missing is that the 9/11 attacks were the only attacks on US soil that was not committed by a non-American in a long time. So it is really no wonder there hasn't been more, those attacks were an amazing feat to begin with. Why are we amazed that there have been no others, it is not due to Homeland Security. It is due to the fact that such attacks are hard to do, yet, could be done at anytime. The threat has not been there, what threat have they stopped since September 11, 2001?

I have no respect for what this man and his regime has done to our country. The worst part of it is that he stole an election and got away with it and there is nothing that millions of citizens could do as recourse. He may be an idiot but his think tank of lawyers etc. know and knew exactly how to get around the constitution and add to his power. What can we do to prevent this again? The popular vote has to count for something.

The worst President since Jimmy Carter.

"The people have the governments they deserve".
Shame on the idiots who voted for him. Twice!!

22 posts and 2 in favor of the moron's policies. That's a whopping 11% approval rate. Looks like you Bushies are losing ground! Don't you just love standing at the station after the train has left?
