Do any of you remember when that same question was asked of the President during the past few weeks. I thought it had been but I can't remember when or were.

Wrong war? Wrong time? Wrong place?

I.e., the Kerry rallying cry?

I think I do recall Kerry in one speech making such a reference to three mistakes, and I think he was just trying to reinforce his rhetoric.

Dave.

Q Mr. President, I'd like to follow up on a couple of these questions that have been asked. One of the biggest criticisms of you is that whether it's WMD in Iraq, postwar planning in Iraq, or even the question of whether this administration did enough to ward off 9/11, you never admit a mistake. Is that a fair criticism? And do you believe there were any errors in judgment that you made related to any of those topics I brought up?

That's were I heard it at the press conference on the White House grounds. Thankyou all for your help. I think with the memo that was leaked from ABC I am a little concerned that Gibson went out of his way to ask that question knowing that it would cause problems for Bush. My thinking is if he did say what is mistakes were the Kerry campaign would jump all over it and have a sound bite of it the very next day. No one in his right mind would fall into that hole.

What determined who could ask a question and if they censored or had
someone choose which questions would be allowed??

I am positive the local community could not just show up and
participate. Exclamation

I also do not believe the audience was made up of university or
local residents???

Who has the "skinny" on how the 2nd debate was set up?? Question

Make it a great day anyway. Smile

I think Bush handled himself well with that loaded question.

I think the audience was supposed to be a group of undecided voters. Each one wrote 2 questions: 1 for sKerry and 1 for Pres Bush. Then the commentator chose the questions that would be asked. Personally, I felt all the questions except the last one were fair.

As an aside, I created a report card for the three debate moderators to try and figure out who was most and least biased.

Bush should of said, " Sure, trusting the UN, trusting France, and signing the 180, and if teddy sobers up a little I would be glad to explain"

Dear Mr Kerry,

What are the three biggest mistakes you have made.

Was it calling your "brothers in war" savages "reminescent of Ghengis Khan".

Was it meeting secretly with the North Vietnamese and The Viet Cong, then coming back to the US and lobbying for pulling out of Vietnam on their terms, on their word that there would not be a slaughter of the S. Vietnamese and the Monteyard(sp) tribesmen. And their word that they would return all of our POWs when a date for withdrawal was reached.

Was it stone walling the investigation into the 1000+ Vietnam POW/MIA's that the Vietnamese are thought to have kept for a 4 billion dollar ransom for reconstruction.

Was it sweeping the murder of these POW/MIA under the rug so your ex-brother in law, Mr. Thorne could secure a huge contract for his company Columbia, Inc. to rebuild the infrastructure of Vietnam.

Maybe it was voting against the first Gulf War. The UN Security Council approved it. Even Egypt was on board. It cost you the Clinton VP spot didn't it.

Maybe it was voting for the the most recent war, then voting not to fund it.

What are your three biggest mistakes...

At a press conference a months ago Bush was asked by at least 3 so-called reporters to name one mistake he had made. At the time there was a lot of casualties in Iraq, so in their minds he was supposed to say the Iraq war. Instead he said he couldn't think of anything. It would of been better probably if he answered it with humor, maybe: "Too many press conferences."
He cannot answer this question or whatever he says will become the next commercial, but he should have some kind of answer prepared.
It seemed to me that this lady, among others, was really a Kerry plant who was pretending to be undecided so she could get in.
The question is silly & irrelevant. It was designed to embaress Bush. Probably there is no good way to answer it. Maybe the best he can do is not to answer it. It's kind of like in a job interview when they ask you to tell them your weaknesses. You can't really tell them the worst things about yourself, but you need to say something that doesn't sound too bad.
