[leftward]

(12-15) 14:42 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

President Bush took credit Monday for improvements in the economy and said the nation is safer since he took office, giving himself accolades on two issues targeted by Democrats who want his job.

"Forget politics," the president said, arguing it's too early to talk about next year's election. Then he went on to talk about next year's election.

"I don't expect people to agree with every decision I make," Bush said at a news conference. "Regardless of whether they do or not, I'm going to continue making the decisions in the way that I think is best for the country.

[if it comes from the whitehouse it must be true]

1. Free stump speech was all it was

Notice how he reran everything from september 11, 2001 to date?

[ithacan]

2. as usual he's lying

it's kind of like an addiction I guess.

He's lying about the economy, about security, and about how he makes decisions...

[FarLeftRage]

3. Oh, quite the opposite has happened.

Jobs that are not done away with for good, are moved overseas.

The economy in the worst shape it has ever been in.

Our allies and friends hate us, because of POS's bad attitude.

And the list is endless... surplus gone, with tax cuts and giveaways only for the rich.

Only POS would believe his own words...

What a moron!

4. Yeah sure

In his dreams, maybe. He's our collective nightmare, OTOH.

5. My BS-meter is buzzing like mad.

[papau]

6. Rather than running on peace/prosperity, its"not as bad as last year"

Will the whore media let Bush get away with trying to make "not as bad as last year" sound like peace and prosperity?

Hell, they are writing their Bush positive reports this month for all of next year.

:-)

7. He implies that he alone is making decisions

How very autocratic of him!

[MasonJar]

8. I am plenty sick

of Bush going on all these multitudinous campaign trips that the taxpayers get stuck with. How can we stop it? He has raised all that money; let him spend it.

9. "I don't expect people to agree with every decision I make,"

Uhhhh what decision did I agree with?

[kainah]

10. proving once again

that when his lips are moving, he's lying.
