Well apearently our President isn't allowed to cuss or something. Read this story. I don't understand why they are making such a big deal about him saying the "S" word.

Is it a big deal? I think it's just supposed to be the lighter side of the news. That word is one that we don't normally see come from a President, so it's sorta funny.

It's not a big deal. He probably says a lot worse in private when the mics aren't on. WHO CARES? I'm sure past Presidents have done the same...

Oh for god's sake! They're NOT making a big deal! It's just a "Hey isn't this funny" kind of news story.

It'd be funnier if they slowed down the audio clip, making Pres. Bush sound like a drunk when saying that. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Unfortunately, I'm not amazed. See comment I just posted about CNN at http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic ... 9&start=60 Only moments later, this thread - how ironic. I bet they are practically popping champaign corks in the newsroom. :wink:

The REST of the story was breaking news... The fact that Bush and Blair were discussing the Middle East situation. The "word" was only a side note.

A microphone picked up an unaware President Bush saying on Monday Syria should press Hezbollah to "stop doing this sh*t" and that his secretary of state may go to the Middle East soon.

Well, Bush is right!!!

My point exactly. The President is a normal person just like everyone else. I'm sure most of us cuss too when we are angry with things. I cuss at him everyday! HAHA just kidding.

I agree its no big deal at all. Its not like he was giving the State of the Union address.

With all the legitimate criticisms of this President, I can't believe people are mking such a big deal about this harmless comment.

With everything the way it is in the world today and the unprecedented situations we face around the Globe. I am not sure how valid or legitimate the criticisms are :wink:

I can ONLY IMAGINE what would be coming out of his mouth! :lol:

At this point, I can't blame President for saying s*** or anything else. I'd be pretty darned frustrated myself.
