"A Presidency under siege" "Surrounded and afraid to face the music"
Coming up next on CNN*

*if the Camp Casey situation were during a Democratic presidency, but then we would have never gotten to this point with Clinton or Gore or anyone of sound mind in office.

Couldn't you just see that? Militarizing the protest to make it appear that the president of the US is surrounded/a "looking down from their ivory tower" type thing.

7. Would you elaborate on this, please?
I'm a bit confused by your comment. First of all, to what situation during the Nixon presidency are you referring when you say "this is going on here"? Second, how is that situation analogous to the current situation?

Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 04:41 PM by nadinbrzezinski

8. I'm thinking these guys are starting to think less about Nixon
and more about Moussolini, as far as bad ways to leave office...

3. Just shows how
out-of-touch Dubya really is.....

he thinks that by not meeting with Cindy, he will gain support for showing how "resolute" he is....how "strong minded" he is.....how "determined" he is...and how he is a man of his word....

he's wrong.

The longer he delays meeting with Cindy the more he will appear to be bull-headed, stubborn, uncaring, unfeeling, uninvolved, and out-of-touch.

Rove made a serious miscalculation and now Dubya is making it worse everyday.

5. Is this a fantasy teaser or one in real life?
Because I can't imagine CNN portraying Bush in any trouble whatsoever, except by implication when they air their latest fawning "Bush fights back" story, telling us about Dear Leader's steadfast resolve and unwavering vision for America.
