President's Press Conference

     So... amazingly... dumb.  This guy wasn't qualified to be a Governor.  Anyway...

• He TWICE referred to the fact that "no new refineries" have been built in the US for over 25 years.  He blamed environmental regulations.  What a piece of shit liar is the President of the United States!  Here is Nader's Public Citizen debunking this crap.  This info has been out there a long time.
• He said he took full responsibility for everything that went wrong during Katrina.  Again, I ask, what the heck does that mean?  It _seems_ to mean "no more questions, because I've already said I took responsibility."
• Did anyone else hear him talk about how he's appointed "people" and nominated "people" referring to blacks?  It was weird.
• On Meirs.  He called her brilliant.  A freaking mutual admiration society.  He called her work "stellar."  A friend said "a distant, dim star."
• UPDATE1: The terrorists, yet again, are trying to "shake wills."  This is the assholic tactic of suggesting that anyone who is against Bush's plan has, in fact, had their will shaken.
• Bush refers to feeding energy back to the grid as something "we're not there yet."  But lots of people are already there.
