Quote:

Lombardo told the president that she was in New York City on Nov. 11, 2001, when Bush attended an event recognizing soldiers for their recovery and rescue efforts at Ground Zero. She said the troops began the fight against terrorism in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and were proud to continue it in Iraq.

"I thought you looked familiar," Bush said, and then joked: "I probably look familiar to you, too."

"If he wants the real opinions of the troops, he can't do it in a nationally televised teleconference," Rieckhoff said. "He needs to be talking to the boots on the ground and that's not a bunch of captains."

9/11....blah blah blah....9/11....9/11...blah blah...

~~So do you have any comments to add to it~~, or just figure that this will create some kind of great discord amongst us all that this type of thing would happen???

Cause it happens all the time, just watch the "that 70's show" were Ford came into town and Red was chosen to ask him a question(chosen by the local committee).

No big surprise, and hardly breaking news,

No other president would ever stoop to such things.....

and Ashley Simpson actually sings live during every show.......

I realize that I am NOT the political maven of these boards, but this stuff is starting to BORE ME. Isn't there someone or something more interesting to talk about?

NPR played the audio from 30 minutes before the actual teleconference where they were prepping exactly who would comment and who would respond to his questions.

Yes there is. What was the finest example of a triple allegory in Cinematic History?
