If you are referring to the grilling GW got recently where every reporter was asking a loaded question and he snubbed them and didn't give them the sound-byte they were looking for, then I would have a hard time drawing conclusions as to how self critical the man is.


If it was you in his shoes (I know, you wouldn't be there to begin with, but play along) - what would you have said. Keep in mind that you currenlty have troops on the ground and under fire in Iraq and a group of people looking for sound bites they can spin and use against him (the Dem campaigners have to be steaming still about the "I voted for the 87billion BEFORE I voted against it!").
