CSPAN 2
Bush is on CSPAN2 talking to "UNITY, Journalists of Color Conference."

Anyway, a man just stood up and was calling him a liar from the back of the room. Of course, the SS went and Removed him.

He was a young man and I could not hear everything he was saying. He left peacefully.

There was controversy regarding Bush speaking to them today as Kerry had yesterday. However, Kerry got standing ovations as he walked in, during his speech, and after. I missed the first of it to see how they welcomed Bush, and if it was in any way as friendly as Kerry.

<http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-08-05-unity-usat_x.htm>

QUICK, QUICK, Bush is going to have a Q&A and we know how great he is at that.

5. Well, A Native American journalist asked him a question and his . . .
simplified answer made everyone chuckle, which kind of surprised Bush, but he grinned.

Now a Hispanic Journalist is asking Bush about affirmative action. Bush is against quotas because they descriminate against the bottom as well as the top. I suppose he means the ones without money and not white, and then the whites with the money.

Sometimes I just feel sorry for this man.

9. Compared to Kerry's welcome, they have been more than
kind to Bush. However, the journalists do not seem to have the same respect for Bush as they did Kerry.

8. At his best ... a mess, as usual
But particularly bad today. Looks nervous struggling for words to fill up time and count as an answer to these excellent questions the journalists (with much applause) are putting to him.

13. Good grief!!
What an abject national embarrassment! The man is a total clown, grasping for words. When the camera pans the audience you can see heads shaking, disgusted looks and, yes, laughing out loud at his lame remarks.

17. The Journalist's questions are getting huge applause whilst Bush . . .
barely gets any. The last journalist laughed out loud at Bush's answer. He started to interrupt Bush and a little bit of his temper came out.

I have got to start recording this because Bush is being laughed at unbelievably.

oh shucks, he got a hard question, looked stupid, gave a stupid response, everyone was rolling in the isles, and then ended his visit.

Bush is walking out of there as fast as he can. People are wanting pictures and he is being nice, but he wants out of there. The journalists are still laughing . . . about what . . . well I cannot imagine.

I'm sure the whole thing will be on www.cspan.org to watch later. Can't wait.

18. Go My Brothers and Sisters and Brothers Go! Go!
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 09:38 AM by goclark

Once again the Brothers and Sisters stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park!
Thanks for the thread, I can't wait for the repeat!

I checked on CSPAN and I don't know when it will be back on PST.
Can someone tell me when they find out? My Tivo will be ready!!

This is the kind of opportunity that we all have been waiting for..expose him for his "clear communication skills."

Yes!

19. Does CSSPAN allow you to view an archive of this?
I'd love to see it, but not sure if I can only watch live or whether it's available to view any time ?
