For example, one will ask him, "I understand you are doing X but what will you do if Y happens."
Every time I've seen him he replies, "You aren't understanding me, I don't consider Y happening."
"But what if it does?"
"It won't."
Back and forth like that. Even if there are alternate plans that he doesn't want to share I would be more comfortable with someone stating that they would rather not discuss them rather than stating that they refuse to even consider alternate possibilities.

Bush is without a doubt the worst public speaker i have ever seen in my life. He can not think on his feet and i am constantly amazed that he is president of the USA. Did you ever see the movie "Being there" ( I think that's what it was called) with Peter Sellers.
Anyway, Bush has only given something like 7 or 8 press conferences because he KNOWS he can't think for himself.
Oh, he reads from a teleprompter ok, and knows when to make those rhetorical pauses and what not, but if you ask him a question, he is like a deer int he headlights.
The best was the great black out of 2003. Watching Bush on TV answer questions was PAINFULL. You end up pulling the covers over your head when he speaks because you are afraid that Extra Terrestrials will be watching and laughing.
