Mmm, good crowd laughter.
Bush looked pissed to have Kerry say he married up.

BUSH: Gosh, I just don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those exaggerations.
Of course we're worried about Osama bin Laden. We're on the hunt after Osama bin Laden. We're using every asset at our disposal to get Osama bin Laden.

So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. I'm more worried about making sure that our soldiers are well-supplied; that the strategy is clear; that the coalition is strong; that when we find enemy bunched up like we did in Shahikot Mountains, that the military has all the support it needs to go in and do the job, which they did.
....
And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.

Just a point. I don't see that as inconsistent. He doesn't say he's not concerned about Bin Laden, or that Bin Laden isn't a concern, or that he's not worried about Bin Laden. He said "I truly am not that concerned about him", in the context of whether he was more concerned about things like "making sure that our soldiers are well supplied, ... strategy is clear, ... coalition is strong ..." etc.
His position has been very clear and very consistent. Bin Laden is *one* part of the war on terror, but his policy is not to ignore the rest of the problems while chasing through the mountains after one guy like a bad rerun of the Keystone Cops. He's not going to ignore other threats just to "get Bin Laden".
It's the Dems position that we should have ignored Iraq and focused just on Bin Laden, not the Reps. There's nothing inconsistent about Bush making that statement. In fact, he's exactly right. Implying that he claimed that Bin Laden is not a concern *is* an exageration of what he actually said.
There is some inconsistency with Kerry saying what he's saying though...

Very nice out of Kerry, complimenting Bush as a good father and husband.
Did Bush not declare he would not stop hunting for Osama until he was found?

Yeah, I say "tie". Obviously I'd rather not but I think Kerry wasn't as strong as he could have been in the arena that's considered his strongest.
Smash will be along to say Kerry crushed Bush though.

Well, I wasn't posting about consistency or inconsistency on the issue. I posted it to show he did say it.

Has he stopped?
The more relevant question is: Did Bush say that he would stop doing anything else in terms of foreign policy until Bin Laden was caught? Did Bush say that 100% of all military assets would be tied up in the hunt? Did Bush say that no other aspects of the war on terror would be pursued until Bin Laden was caught?
I don't recall any of those statements being made.

Bush has been taking lessons or something. Not a bad showing.
Overall, I'd give the early rounds to Kerry, but Bush closed strong. Debate goes to Bush.

Kerry's asking Bush to take that crappy painting with him when he leaves

Are we allowed to keep Laura but boot Dubya out? Tehrayza kinda scares me.
It looked like Bush tried to plant a kiss on Kerry's daughter.
BTW, I found a rabbit ear to attach to the TV for a crappy signal.

With that "idear" garble-ism he sounds like he's trying to get the Texas vote by out-Southern drawling Bush. As a Mass resident he's not supposed to even know how to pronounce his "R"'s-- kinda like inverse Japanese. Blatent pandering to Southerners...

idear is actually a northeastern thing. Very Massachussettsish
Bush tanked the final little "Go America" speech.
He spoke it like he was reading from cue cards that were being turned by a elderly sloth. Every time the card got turned though, he rushed through the line like a meth addict.
