Bobert: I still think he "gotcha," but I understand why you don't agree. On the economy: you probably haven't been following the stock market have you? All indications are the economy is improving. It took years of neglect by the Clinton administration to create this economic turn-down, we can't expect it will be righted over night (anymore than we can expect the problems in Iraq to be corrected during the same time period).

As to facts, Bobert, ole buddy, I don't think you are particularly interested in them. Teribus laid them out for you, and you reject them.

The imbedded media was one of the best ideas for providing information to the public during a war that has come along in a long time. If you perceive it to have been a failure for some reason, I don't think you can blame the Bush administration. Blame the media. Personally, I think we got the best reporting of any war in my memory, and that goes back aways.
