Do you really not understand that I simply don't want to play the game of "What would I do if I were president?" You might as well as what I would do if I were you. It's none of my business. My business is to figure out what to do if I were me, which I happen to be. By the way, Bush showed some serious partisanship yesterday. From the transcript: Q Mr. President, thank you. You acknowledged that this is a message election on the war in Iraq. And so the American public today, having voted, will want to know what you mean in terms of "course correction on Iraq." And particularly in light of this fact, that last week the Vice President pointed out that you and he aren't running for anything anymore, and that it's "full speed ahead on Iraqi." So which is it? Are you listening to the voters, or are you listening to the Vice President? And what does that mean? THE PRESIDENT: David, I believe Iraq had a lot to do with the election, but I believe there was other factors, as well. People want their Congress -- congressmen to be honest and ethical. So in some races, that was the primary factor. There were different factors that determined the outcome of different races, but no question, Iraq was on people's minds. And as you have just learned, I am making a change at the Secretary of Defense to bring a fresh perspective as to how to achieve something I think most Americans want, which is a victory. Hmmm. People voted against the GOP because they want to elect a congress that is ethical and honest. How very anti-Republican. Now, if I had been holding that press conference... but I wasn't.
