From Remarks by President Bush and President Karzai of Afghanistan in a Press Availability (June 15), via the White House:

[...]

Q Mr. President, thank you. Just to follow up on John's question. In Afghanistan, things are improving, as you've mentioned. In Iraq, we're about to transfer sovereignty. And even domestically, the economy is booming. Why is it that you're having trouble pulling ahead of your opponent, John Kerry?

I know you don't pay attention to the polls, but we are four-and-a-half months from election day.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes.

Q What can you do to improve your political standing as the campaign moves forward?

PRESIDENT BUSH: You see, I think you answered your own question.

We are four-and-a-half months from election day. In other words, there's a long time before the election. I'm just going to do my job, Stretch. My job is to continue to lead. My job is to say to the American people, follow me, the world is going to be better. The world will be more free, the world will be more peaceful, the world will be -- America will be a stronger country because our economy will improve; America will be a better country because we're calling upon the compassion of our fellow citizens to help a neighbor in need.

Ah, so that's what he's been doing all this time. Leading us all down the rabbit hole.
