Bush needs to spend more time talking about pocketbook politics if he
wants to win over voters
WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY

June 15 - It was only 10 minutes into what was billed as a relaxed
"conversation" about prescription drugs. But after leafing through his
talking points, perched on a small black box in front of his chair,
the president was clearly struggling. "I'm just about running out of
air," he joked, before handing things over to the other four people on
stage. "Want me to keep talking?" In less than 40 minutes, the
conversation was over. That was about the same time as George W. Bush
spent in his motorcade from Kansas City airport to his chit-chat in
Liberty, Mo.
