Soldier on the "staged" press conference

I'm going to skip past the idea that suddenly, it matters to the media, that politicians are staging events with people friendly to their POV.

Although it is curious that they suddenly noticed.

Instead, I'm going to focus on this, the blog of a soldier who was actually there and being asked questions:

We were given an idea as to what topics he may discuss with us, but it's the President of the United States; He will choose which way his conversation with us may go.
We practiced passing the microphone around to one another, so we wouldn't choke someone on live TV. We had an idea as to who we thought should answer what types of questions, unless President Bush called on one of us specifically.

'Nuff said?
Probably not.
