Lieberman refuses to apologize: ‘You can take from the word “regret” what you will.’
Speaking with Meet The Press’s Tom Brokaw today, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) refused to apologize for actively campaigning against and harshly criticizing Barack Obama, saying only that he “regrets” “some of the things” he said:
BROKAW: I hear the word regret, but not the word apologize.
LIEBERMAN: Well, I do — I regret it. I mean, you know, I’m going forward. You can take from the word “regret” what you will. I wish I had not said some of the things I’ve said. But again, we all do it.
Woodward: Bush ‘Doesn’t Like Homework,’ Which Means ‘Reading,’ ‘Getting Briefed’ Or ‘Having A Debate’
On the Chris Matthews Show today, Matthews argued that one of the major differences between President Bush and President-elect Barack Obama is the fact that Obama is intellectually curious. As an example of Bush’s lack of intellectual curiosity, Matthews played a 2004 clip of Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward saying on 60 Minutes that Bush “is not an intellectual” or what “would be called a deep thinker.”
Asked by Matthews to explain why Bush “shows little intellectual curiosity,” Woodward said it was essentially because Bush “doesn’t like homework”:
WOODWARD: I think he’s impatient. I think, my summation: He doesn’t like homework. And homework means reading or getting briefed or having a debate. And part of the presidency, part of governing, particularly in this area, is homework, homework, homework.

Bush doesn't like getting briefed that is so obvious when you hear his press conferances, painfully obvious, repeating the same "briefed" answers over and over and nothing new, but joking and laughing about important issues.
No he never had to work for anything, and that includes both terms, his Daddy bought his way through college and the WH. It is so obvious his is a lazy ignorant frat party boy.
Not an intellectual, but a party boy.
Obama on the otherhand earned every grade, every position he had, what a nice change.
Nice switch by Tweey like he didn't know this in 2000. He has campaigned, lied, got paid and sucked up to the Bush Administration since 1999 and now he's all about the truth. How dumb does that make him and the rest of the voters now to be told Bush is truely and idiot. Looking at the mess he's caused in 7 years that answers any questions. Funny how Tweety talked about Obama like a dog and pretty much gave McCain/Palin the White House and now he's all over Obama. Wonder Why? Is it that Tweety knows he's now an outsider and will be for 8 years. MSNBC needs insiders to the Obama/Biden Administration. Tweety can't even ask Hillary or Bill for help nor can he ask Mr. and Mrs. Edwards. Looks like Tweety will apply online for a job with the Obama/Biden Administration. His qualifications are he is a loyal spy for the RNC and will lie, cheat and steal to get a Republican back in the White House.
