'President George W. Bush says he is flexible and open-minded, rather than stubborn, but with a "thick hide" to absorb criticism."
In an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" conducted last week, Bush also denied his spirits had suffered because the Iraq warhad not gone as well as hoped.
"Quite the contrary," he said, according to a transcript of the interview airing on Sunday. "My spirits are strong.
"I really am not the kind of guy that sits here and says, 'Oh, gosh, I'm worried about my legacy.' I'm more worried about making the right decisions to protect the United States of America," he said.
"I understand criticism. But I've got a pretty thick hide."
uh huh. the complete transcript is-- here.

I watched it. No need to read it. Besides, I'm out of barf bags.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
You watched it?
You have to be very careful with that, Betmo! PoP from Morning Martini watched the "Attempt to Justify Escalation of the War in Vietn.. Iraq", and now she's too sick to blog!!
oh- good grief no!!!! :) i didn't watch it- my mom was going to but missed it. i looked the transcript up for her- and cheney's interview on faux news- and printed the transcripts. in fact, i didn't even read the transcript- just the little blurb in the news. see- that's why they never used to let him speak much in public.
"But I've got a pretty thick hide."
He has a pretty fat head too ; )
I think it's more like he is high on spirits or something. How in the world can anyone be that disconnected from reality? I am astonished!
