Bush was asked a very specific
question by a member of the public he serves. He didn't say the question
was unfair. He didn't say the question was biased.

Sure he did...but he was diplomatic about it. If Bush was never asked that
very
question in a White House press conference, that lady would have never asked
it.

That's why Bush responded with:
"That's what you're-- when they ask about
making mistakes, that's what they're talking about".

He didn't even just
evade the question (as often happens by all politicians). Instead he
basically
told the woman that she didn't know what she was trying to ask, and
corrected
her about her own question.

She was just parroting what she heard liberal pundits saying.

No matter how you slice it, this American citizen asked a question
designed to find out if George Bush can admit mistakes when he
makes them. It's an important trait for a leader. This woman, no
matter where she got the idea, felt it's a good enough point to
ask about. And George Bush in effect told her she was wrong
for asking that question.

The question was stupid, it was stupid to Bush, it was stupid to Kerry.
The question was stupid, a trap and nonsensical.

I disagree. Every president makes many decisions every day, month, and
year that effect hundreds, thousands, and even millions of people. They are
certain to make some mistakes sooner or later. Being able to recognize
and admit a mistake are the first two steps toward correcting the problem.

And this president has shown a propensity for not being able to recognize
or admit his mistakes. And even if I'm wrong about seeing it that way --
even if this president has NO problem in this area -- all he had to do was
think of one specific mistake and admit it. He could not do that.

It was not a "stupid" question.

Regardless of the source of the question. Any answer confirming mistakes
would have been taken out of context and been in an DNC sponsered commercial
the next day running all over the country.

It would have been political suicide to answer in the affirmative.

Ps What name three of your major ****ups in the last 3 years and what
you did about them Gary.


Well, Wally, I don't owe you or this public forum any explanation for my
mistakes. George Bush does - because he's asking to work for us. ~ However
I'm willing to admit mistakes and the specifics about them. For one, see the
thread I wrote a few days ago about the shaft that fell out of my boat. It
was a mistake on my part (not checking everything carefully) that caused it
to happen.

Here's another mistake I made: I had an administrator password on the
server of a company I was contracting for. I left a computer logged in
as the administrator and some employees found information they shouldn't
have had. It wasn't catastrophic, but it was serious. I didn't have to admit
that mistake to my customer -- there were plenty of other people that had
the password. Had I said, "I don't know anything about it." They would
never have know who had ****ed up. But I told them. I admitted it because
it was the right thing to do. It saved them time in trying to figure out the
puzzel. It saved other people the embarrasment of being asked if they'd
done something wrong. And while it damaged my reputation a little I think
it also helped it a little. They realized I was a stong and honest enough
person
to be honest with them. ~ My guess is they know that people will, from time
to time, make mistakes. Hiring one that never makes a mistakes is next
to impossible. But hiring one willing to admit & correct a mistake when
then make it is very helpful.

I've also been wrong on factual information and policitcal positions I've
held. I've changed my mind on some positions. I won't go into them here
because this post is getting long.

I could ask you your mistakes. But I really don't care. The point isn't
whether you or I makes mistakes. The point is the George Bush
does make them and he doesn't seem able to even RECOGNIZE
that he has. This is a serious few points against him in my book.

Point being, if President Bush really answered that question, it would
be an instant liberal attack barrage.



Bush gave the opposition more ammunition with his lie that he hadn't made any
mistakes, (or his inability to public admit making any mistakes, depending upon
how you care to spin it).

Of course GW never said he 'never made mistakes' that is simply the liebral
spin.

How stupid ARE you? If someone is asked, point blank, what mistakes
he's made, and his answer is that he doesn't believe he made any, how
else can you take that? He said, again, that he didn't believe he made
ANY......he didn't say, well, I've made a couple, but not concerning
this, etc., he said he didn't make ANY.
