We don't need no farkin answers

Bush held a press conference this morning to lay out his agenda for the minions. Sam Rosenfeld at Tapped has your one stop shop synopsis.

Most noteably was Bush's cantankerous response to questions regarding his War on Social Security. As Rosenfeld notes, Bush was cranky:

“You’re not going to get me to negotiate with myself,” he repeatedly told the perplexed reporters. “I know what you’re trying to get me to do. You’re trying to get me to answer ‘Why this,’ ‘why that,’ to take positions -- don’t bother to ask me.” Rather than merely dodge the questions, Bush seemed intent on staking out an explicit, principled position in favor of dodging the question.

This sounds more like Dr. Evil from an Austin Powers monologue than the President of the United States.
