After hitting the benchmarks I look at the slices of pie and I am hardened.

12. it was during a press conference...
crooks and liers had the video, I would say it was a year ago.

He* was taking a question during a press conference and in mid sentence stops, tips his* head down to his* tie, mumbles something then starts again.

It was very creepy, bizarre and very obvious that he* was talking into a hidden mic.

16. Some choice tidbits from Cleveland
from the White House website:

B* said:


- “History has proven that democracies can change societies. The classic case I like to cite is Japan. Prime Minister Koizumi is one of my best buddies in the international arena. And when we sit down, we talk the peace.”

- “I knew we were at war. I knew that the enemy obviously had to be sophisticated and lethal to fly hijacked airplanes into facilities that would be killing thousands of people, innocent people, doing nothing, just sitting there, going to work.”

- “Foreign policy used to be dictated by the fact we had two oceans protecting us. If we saw a threat, we could deal with it if you needed to you think, or not, but we'd be safe.”

- “9/11 affected the way I think. I know these are like totalitarian fascists. They have an ideology. They have a desire to spread that ideology. And they're willing to use tactics to achieve their strategy.”

13. That's almost as pathetic as Reagan's "they won't let me" when
he was taking questions at one of his press conferences.

14. It's here:
http://www.c-span.org/

Go to Pres. Press Conference link: Once the press conference downloads, it's at the 43:10 mark.

At 40:00 mark he says, "I'm stalling for time."

What an asshat.

20. WellI think it's a pretty big thing
when the POTUS admits he's being told what to say versus actually having the intelligence to think on his own.

25. Who, George? Who told you what to say?

Try to remember George. Yes, yes, we'll go for a lovely bike ride later, but for now, try to remember, George. Can you remember who it was? Can you remember for me? Okay, you want to color in stuff? Yeah. Okay, I'll get your coloring book, but first, George, can you tell me who told you to say things? Can you remember what he looks like?

Was he mean to you, George?
