War Room

What does he know that you don't?

The president says he isn't worried about the November elections.

In an interview with ABC's "This Week," George W. Bush suggested that he wasn't particularly concerned about the November elections. "I remember 2004," the president said. "I was history as far as the punditry was concerned." We're sure it's just a coincidence, but Bush's comments aired on ABC on Sunday, the same day the network moved a story titled "Electronic Voting Machines Could Skew Elections."
