He said one thing that should be noted. The questions will be answered next November.

That's interesting... I missed the press conference (had to work). He really said that?

If so, he's either: written off being re-elected (which I doubt); or is so confident in his chances (as he was about Iraq) that he doesn't think his inability - or refusal - to answer questions will influence the voters he bought with the tax cut; or is thoroughly deluded by his staff and the departments they run (as he was about Iraq).

Those of you that feel he looked stupid should be delighted.

Delighted? Hardly. A lot of us who think Bush looks stupid (ill-informed, belligerent, single-minded, inarticulate, incompetent and/or possibly malfeasant) are ashamed. After all, as Raoul points out: the President of the US - not just what he says and does, but how he says and does it - is America's image in the rest of the world.

In about 6 months we will get the answers and all of us can like it or lump it.

And work to change things again, if need be, in 2008.
