Actually, no he did not. He said he's confident he's made mistakes. That's not a definite statement saying "I made mistakes." That's a statement that he believes he has probably made mistakes.

Because without multiple sources you cannot verify the truth in what you learn. In short, he's surrounded himself with yes-men and he believes everything they say.

Nope. Used to be that way, but then 24 hour news services with world-wide resources and realtime satellite uplinks came around. Now, the world, including our own government, turns into CNN to see what's happening.



Because if his advisors are lying to him, reading the facts in an independent source might give him the heads up. You know, for every president before this one, there was a dedicated staff that read through the major newspapers in the US and clipped important articles for the president to read, because sometimes advisors lie, sometimes they get it wrong, and often times journalists have the whole story. Bush, of course, is not interested in that.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here. Are you saying all media sources are compromised, and are puppets of the government? This IS the United States we're talking about, right?

Well let's see, if he bothered to tune into CNN or MSNBC he could get the news as close to (and in many cases closer to) real time as he can get it from his own agencies. What you're saying is, frankly, apallingly ignorant. You're suggesting that surrounding yourself with people who all think the same way and then believing without question everything they tell you is a great way to run a country. You're suggesting that confirmation sources are NEVER necessary. You're even suggesting that anyone who thinks they are is "retarded," which, by the way, is a needlessly insulting term that automatically weakens your already groundless argument.
