Chris Matthews: Bush's Conference today...Too Late!!

[SuperTrouper]

Matthews just said that Bush has NO CREDIBILITY and has not done his job and no leverage at this critical time. Joe Scumborough says that Bush is coming out today not because of Main Street but because confidence is shaken in Wall Street.

1. I heard that. How is this moron going to "bolster confidence" anyway?

[fascisthunter]

3. if anything, he will sabotage whatever bounce the market gets

[AndyTiedye]

13. He Already Did. Bounce is Gone

[K Gardner]

2. OMG.. Shrub spoke for 2 minutes and walked away. ROFLMAO !

[madmax]

6. I'm sitting here waiting for him to speak!

And he's come and gone in a flash!! wtf?

[zbdent]

12. Sounds like a freeptard romantic encounter ...

including undressing and dressing time ...

[madmax]

22. ...

:rofl: sounds like one of my old boyfriends - come to think of it he was repug. :evilgrin:

[dennis4868]

16. sure....

he had to get back to "my pet economic disaster"....

[madmax]

Right, Laura only has so much time to read to him :) n/t

[Supersedeas]

9. that's all it took for Fundies to have confidence in him -- Palins turn to step up, read script and

walk away (no follow-up questions allowed)

[SeaLyons]

4. Bush needs to stay in the closet...

I visualize him crouching in his closet, drink in hand, yelling "LEAVE ME ALONE". He's pathetic.

[SuperTrouper]

5. The GOP is in meltdown mode: even Scarborough is throwing them under the bus

:wow:

[Neecy]

7. it was pitiful

If my tax money is going to be used as an ATM machine by a corrupt business system I want the guy in charge to tell me WHY this is being done, what he proposes to do to fix the system, and how long he expects my tax dollars to prop up the status quo.

Instead this arrogant little bastard just snipped out a few words about INVESTORS - the same people who are gleefully scooping up my money - and not a word to the vast majority of us who are shoveling money at Wall Street.

I've often been offended by this fucker, but today takes the cake. Not a WORD explaining to us why we're being given the tab. Unbelieveable. Incredible.

[NotThisTime]

11. Agreed, we got NOTHING from him.... he's worried about investor's and that's it.

Doesn't even give specifics...

[elocs]

8. When the nation needed to hear from Bush about the financial crisis on Tuesday

we had to wait until Thursday. Pathetic.

[regnaD kciN]

19. And not the first time...

I'm surprised he wasn't flying from air force base to air force base Monday, with word out that the crash had commandeered a plane, and was looking for Air Force One.

:eyes:

[Window]

10. As usual, many days late and many dollars short.

[SuperTrouper]

21. he must have felt pressured by Matthews rant yesterday about him pulling another Katrina

:donut:

[Alter Ego]

14. The public attitude towards Bush on this has been "Oh, you're still here?"

[Shine]

15. Most of the country is thinking, "Bush who??"

Zero credibility.

[ailsagirl]

17. I love what I'm hearing from Matthews these days...

:bounce:

[regnaD kciN]

18. Jesus Christ on a cracker!!!

So, the Dow opens up over a hundred points, then Bush does his two-minute quickie, and it drops down to only +6.84? (It's up to around 37 now.) What does that say about investor confidence in the Republican leadership?

[SuperTrouper]

20. Zero confidence and this is McCain's Waterloo....

[Supersedeas]

23. the Coward of Crawford has to cower with his commerce consultants
