7. Bush managed to blame Clinton for the lack of an energy...
...policy when he blamed the lack of a policy on nothing being done for the last 10 years. Now four and half years were under his watch, but he repeated ten years several times. Now it will be 15 years when he leaves in Jan 2009, because he has no energy policy that strives for energy independence. More exploration, more refineries, going "nuculear", kissing up to the Saudis, that's his plan. Oh and expect higher prices at the pumps.

8. The Chimp Is Mic'ed Up
And I think the United Nations is important. As a matter of fact, I'll give you an example. Today I met with the United Nations representative to Syria, Mr. Larsen. He's an impressive fellow. Now, he's delivered -- to Lebanon, excuse me -- he's delivered a very strong message to the Syrian leader, though, that the world expects President Assad to withdraw not only his military forces, but his intelligence services, completely from Lebanon.

First from Syria, two sentences later, from Lebanon?

I bet he was corrected via earpiece.

9. I was just gonna start a thread about the transmitter...
There was one point where I literally jumped up and I SWORE -- from the look on his face and the pause in his voice and something weird I heard -- that he got an audio prompt.

In that moment it seemed sooo obvious. I'm hoping for an online player to catch where it was again. Husb didn't react as I did, so maybe it's just me... :tinfoilhat: .. but then his hearing's not as good as mine... (old age, you know. He got a year older today, so...).

10. Thanks - here are the hard work comments
The Iraqi military is being trained by our military, and they're performing much better than the past. The more secure Iraq becomes, as a result of the hard work of Iraqi security forces, the more confident the people will have in the process, and the more isolated the terrorists will become.

And now he is in charge of following up to make sure it happens. I think that's a very important and useful role for the United Nations to play. We have played a role. France has played a role. A lot of nations have played roles. But the United Nations has done a very good job in Syria -- with Syria in Lebanon of making sure that the world expects the Lebanese elections to be free in May, without Syrian influence. He's an impressive fellow. I applaud him for his hard work.

THE PRESIDENT: Look, we're asking people to do things that haven't been done for 20 years. We haven't addressed the Social Security problem since 1983. We haven't had an energy strategy in our country for decades. And so I'm not surprised that some are balking at doing hard work. But I have a duty as the President to define problems facing our nation and to call upon people to act. And we're just really getting started in the process.

13. They kept the "harms way" one!
Q Mr. President, under the law, how would you justify the practice of renditioning, where U.S. agents who brought terror suspects abroad, taking them to a third country for interrogation? And would you stand for it if foreign agents did that to an American here?

THE PRESIDENT: That's a hypothetical, Mark. We operate within the law and we send people to countries where they say they're not going to torture the people.

But let me say something: the United States government has an obligation to protect the American people. It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way. And we will do so within the law, and we will do so in honoring our commitment not to torture people. And we expect the countries where we send somebody to, not to torture, as well. But you bet, when we find somebody who might do harm to the American people, we will detain them and ask others from their country of origin to detain them. It makes sense. The American people expect us to do that. We -- we still at war.
