There will be a lot of flaming going on once there are several answers, but people in America have the absolute right to say whatever they want - that's protected in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Therefore, we can criticize the president as much as we please. As far as his policies are concerned, I disagree with 95% of them, so I won't get into that...

The same reason they have to all get together once a week and convince eachother they are still right---because they are insecure.  They vote for a prez that openly legislates for their mass delusion.

Before Bush a person could feel safe telling each other how they felt about a sitting President...are those days gone ? I will vote out of fear in november ...just like the Republicans want me to...Fear of their Party running my Country straight down the tubes!!!

She has to reflect the policies of the President.  She is  a traveling "mouth-piece" of the USA President.  She is not allowed to say anything that is not approved of by the President and his advisors.... She is a puppet for the President.  If you can't trust her... it is because she has to reflect the policies that come down to her from the Oval Office.

Same reason that all politicians run their mouths, to make political points...it don't always work...just ask George Bush...

It was a way of making a point, Though this certain person has brought up the subject before, it is a way to deter Republicans from going to war by making it a possibility for those who come from all sorts of backgrounds be it rich or poor have to go fight as well. . Meaning Senators and Congressman's children to have to go no matter what. Well that's what i got from this news article. Read it and make your own opinion :)

Ya know, George is not the greatest public speaker, but the one thing you do know is, those are his words coming out of his mouth.\n\nI watched the guy the democrats love to compare with GWB, and I don't ever recall words coming out of his mouth, that weren't scripted by a speech writer.  I don't ever recall an impromptu question and answer between Clinton and the press.  Because of this, Clinton was given credit for being an effective speaker, but for people who saw through this technique, they knew they were listening to Clinton's voice but someone else's words.

don't know! Maybe you should have this little conversation with Bush before his term is up.

Because most people try to think in terms of right or wrong. The ability to think of what is popular or in the best political interest does not come to mind. There is also the fact that we are never told the really important parts because it considered"not in the national interest" for us to Know. One last thing. Most Americans don't have enough money to be considered for the presidency.

Because not every politician knows everything about everything. So they set up committees to handle their own little special projects/investigations as they relate to their committee's objectives. Then once the committee has accomplished their task, they present it to the rest of the senate for review. It is probably one of the few ways in which our government has made things more productive.

It is because they are easy polarizing topics.  Politicians look for low hanging fruit so they won't have to address real topics - like the budget or social security.

The President has thats for sure, but I don't think that most ppl would agree with him. Its a shame but theres nothing we can do about it exept vote!!!

Hmmmm, that's a very interesting question!  I bet it's never been asked before.\n\nWhere else would they live?  It's very handy to their job, their staff and cousins by the dozens have space to work and interact, and there is the security question.\n\nI can't imagine a President saying "No thanks, I've got my own place"--but that's not your question is it?  \n\nI don't know but you got me thinkin'...so thanks!

Basically it generates interests to the public and the public can make a decision on whether to react or ignore it. Communication involves two identities communicating with each other.

George W is the pres. of the US, right?  The demcrats you are referring to primarily are the politicians that are also involved in the same line of work.  If these are the democrats that you are referring to, then, you surely know the answer, don't you?  Nothing gets done either way if the president and his staff do not communicate and try to work out some sort of solution about their disagreements.  That is the #1 reason why. There are many more, but perhaps that will answer what you needed to know.

The Dems only talk. They will not back up what they say. Why?\nThey know if we pull out to soon we will let the good people of Iraq down and they will be murdered in mass numbers. This is what Bush has known and has stated. The Dems only want to play a verbal game with you.
