DEB RIECHMANN | October 3, 2007 05:34 PM EST | Associated Press

LANCASTER, Pa. — Give the man a microphone and he'll talk about anything. For 76 minutes, President Bush prowled the stage Wednesday in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, giving a speech and answering questions about everything from his opposition to tax increases to his veto of a bill to expand children's health insurance.

But he covered a lot of other ground, too.

Bush gave an intriguing description about what happens when businesses expand, as was the case here at a company run by a woman.

"You know, when you give a man more money in his pocket _ in this case, a woman _ more money in her pocket to expand a business, they build new buildings. And when somebody builds a new building, somebody has got to come and build the building.

"And when the building expanded, it prevented (sic) additional opportunities for people to work. Tax cuts matter. I'm going to spend some time talking about it," the president said.

He offered a pointed description of his job.

"My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of decisions," the president said.

He elaborated on that point later.

"I delegate to good people. I always tell Condi Rice, `I want to remind you, Madam Secretary, who has the Ph.D. and who was the C student. And I want to remind you who the adviser is and who the president is.'

"I got a lot of Ph.D.-types and smart people around me who come into the Oval Office and say, `Mr. President, here's what's on my mind.' And I listen carefully to their advice. But having gathered the device (sic), I decide, you know, I say, `This is what we're going to do.' And it's `Yes, sir, Mr. President.' And then we get after it, implement policy."

Bush, known for his impatience when fellow leaders rattle on, acknowledged he was doing the same himself in his opening remarks.

"I'll be glad to answer some questions from you if you got any," he said. "If not, I can keep on blowing hot air until the time runs out."

Asked about global warming, he gave a lengthy account of alternative fuels.

"I'm not quite through," he said near the end. "And it's a long answer, I'm sorry. It's called filibustering." After one answer about American views of the Iraq war, Bush said sheepishly: "I think that was your question, wasn't it? The answer was so long I lost track."

He had some fun with a woman who seemed slow on the draw when Bush called on her.

"You want a little chance to collect the thoughts, you know? I mean we're talking national TV here, you know?" he said.

"I actually wrote it down so I wouldn't get flustered," the woman said.

"It didn't work," Bush said.

Bush gave an upbeat assessment of being president, despite polls showing the public overwhelmingly disapproves of the job he's doing.

"I told somebody behind stage, this has been a joyous experience being the president," Bush said. "My buddies in Texas just simply don't think I'm telling them the truth. But it is."

He forgot that he had promised a question to a woman. "When you're getting over 60, sometimes your mind slips," said Bush, who is 61.

Finally, he decided he had said enough.

"And I got to go, I hate to tell you. You're paying me too much money to be sitting here talking."

I'm looking [edited from lookint] for the entire transcript now, but wow.

LOL.. my screen names? Wow.. way to step up and break the hypocracy meter. You are a fucking joke.

You should have stayed away from the political threads.. way to ruin another good login ID by your stupidity. This one actually had a chance to work had you refrained. You made this account to sell some GS shit and then didn't do anything with it until we outted Mosquito and Haywood.

Tough luck chump. I think your next name should be SolidTwoInches.

Actually.. I can only take credit for Mosquito. The rest of my possee outted his others.

Trust me.. this is Backlash. But I can't even take credit for it because someone already said it was him.. I just confirmed his theory.

Please tell me chillmonster is not Backlash, or that at least there isn't a way to prove that.

If it is you, BL, and I'm not saying that it is, just go back to Backlash, as you, Backlash, and post your opinions as Backlash, Backlash. Please?

If not, I apologize for perpetuating the untruthities.

You can't be serious. This entire thing started as PB's attempt to push this thread off topic. You see how he stopped posting when the topic moved from Bush's stupidity? It's my fault, however; I forgot rule #1 of any MB.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_Internet)
A troll's main goal is usually to arouse anger and frustration among the message board's other participants, and will write whatever it takes to achieve this end. One popular trolling strategy is the practice of Winning by Losing. While the victim is trying to put forward solid and convincing facts to prove his position, the troll's only goal is to infuriate its prey. The troll takes (what it knows to be) a badly flawed, wholly illogical argument, and then vigorously defends it while mocking and insulting its prey. The troll looks like a complete fool, but this is all part of the plan. The victim becomes noticeably angry by trying to repeatedly explain the flaws of the troll's argument. Provoking this anger was the troll's one and only goal from the very beginning.

You troll on threads you don't like simply to derail the conversation and move it off topic, and I'm sure your mommy is very proud of you for the job you did here.

It's ok Backlash.. you also denied posting as Good Karma, Haywood J., Mosquito and GS-Phoenix. We'll just add Chillmonster to the list.

Continue on though.. you still have 2 or 3 people who think you aren't Backlash..

The joined date fooled me for a while too... until you started posting. I will admit, it was a brilliant move. For a month.

On chill: he always struck me as being more logical than backlash. I have no idea if they're the same person, but BL always struck me as a bit more emotional. Chill is colder and misspells more; people have gone so far as to ask if English is his second language. BL's incoherent postings tended to accompany alcohol and surrounded the weekends.

On PB's trolling; he tends to only do it in a thread where he disagrees; I agree, it's generally to avoid confronting thought processes surrounding an issue.

That "Bush's" cognitive and linguistic abilities are far subpar is nothing new. That he brags about "being scholastically ignorant" is just the next part of the facade IMO. Most people love a simple (average) man, and most like feeling smarter than the next guy.

I don't believe Bush is stupid, but I don't appreciate what his image does to the perception of Americans abroad or in general. I find him a bit narcissistic also; despite his general praise of other administrative officials, he will later come back and assert how everything rests on him. Such juxtapose positions in his behavior(s) have led me to the conclusion that at least one of his images is a fabrication. -But we are discussing politics, so that's not terribly surprising.

Wow. I try to concentrate on the argument on not the nonsense typos, which although not really that numerous are always pointed out by trolls to detract from the message. I guess I'll have to start really proofreading for those of us who can see the forrest through the trees (or the argument through the ad hominem attacks).

And when you say 'people' you're simply referring to one of the resident troll king's 3+ handles.

Actually, I was giving reasons why I don't believe that you are backlash, not suggesting you change your posting style. Were I to do so, I wouldn't be shy about it and might say something like, "For the love of god, use the quote function!" I don't post as much as I once did, but you will find when I do post criticisms, there is very little subtlety in them. I don't have problems following your arguments though, if it makes you feel better.

In this instance, I was also asserting that what you were saying was nothing new. I simply find the psychological "evidence" of Bush's behavior more interesting than the behavior itself, which has been rehashed on this board plenty of times. It has even been compared to ex presidents in other threads.
