November 8, 200619 yr Without assuming perhaps too much, this is an early olive branch to the new Congressional majority. Had the Republicans held the House and maintained the lead in the Senate, would this press conference have happened?

November 8, 200619 yr It's SOP for the sitting Prez to hold a press conference following any election just to comment on how things went and how his job might change. As far as Rumsfeld: Good freakin' riddance. Your abrasive style and incompetence will serve you well in retirement. Jerk.

How are we supposed to know where you stand? Just tell us how you really feel once in a while.
November 8, 200619 yr If this was going to happen, why not a week or two ago? Because that would be a sign of weakness. We can't have that.
November 8, 200619 yr If this was going to happen, why not a week or two ago? O'Reilly said it would be seen as strictly a political ploy/concession, and I tend to agree.
November 8, 200619 yr Jim, I wish you wouldn't always beat around the bush (no pun intended). How are we supposed to know where you stand? Just tell us how you really feel once in a while. And if Jim doesn't, I will.

As far as Rumsfeld: Good freakin' riddance. Your abrasive style and incompetence will serve you well in retirement. Jerk. I'm not sure this was called for. If you feel he was incompetent, fine. The "jerk" part is unjustified. This is a man, whom, without playing to cameras, went back into the burning Pentagon on 9/11 after having been injured himself and helped pull injured Marines and staff to safety. If you don't like his politics and his public persona, that is fine, but as a man he is not a coward and that is good enough for me.

Forgive me if I have harsh feelings toward him after having to worry about my brother getting killed in Iraq because of his incompetent stewardship of the war. And I don't see how anyone could say he's anything but a jerk, given his personality.
