And that's when you pull out the video clip of bush on March 13, 2002 when a reporter asked Bush about bin Laden and he said "I truly am not that concerned about him." and you carefully explain to him that you are going to play that clip about 17 times in your news story that night, and you'll use it for promos throughout the day unless he comes up with a good answer.

That's why the idea of a press core has trouble. I think that a president should be required to answer the questions in full, so long as the information isn't classified.

No, I don't think that at all. But I think the press core needs to, frankly, get its balls back and be willing to call him on it loudly and firmly when he refuses to answer. And make sure THAT is what is broadcast - that Bush refused to answer. If the press was stronger, politicians would have to answer because otherwise, they look guilty.
