Press conference, after he was reelected to a second term, the president started to answer a question about the role of first Lady Hillary Clinton in the second clinton term, before he sort of diverted himself into talking about just how damned tired he was. Well, let me answer the question about hillary. I think what first lady will do is something that i think it will be consistent with what shes been doing, but we have not, frankly, weve been too tired to talk about it.

Bush gave after he was reelected in 2004, the president gave a very specific response to what i think has to be the worlds most general question. Do you feel more free, sir .
