Pres. Bush Press Conference
I know a lot of Republican grimace at the Presidents awkward language moments that pop up in press conferences, but just the same I think he needs to do them more regularly. He needs to engage the press more. Most of them aren't going to write positive pieces about him anyway, but in a press conference he has a better opportunity to state his case, with on live TV. I didn’t get to see the one he held today but from what I have read, he rather then just answered question, engaged in more of a dialogue with the press. I think that is something he needs to do more of as well. He has the facts on his side; he might as well use them. And that is the best way to use them.
