DAN BARTLETT: No, the records have been clear for years that President Bush did not take a physical because he did not need to take a physical because, obviously, the choice was that he was going to be performing in a different capacity.

Bartlett is now the campaign spokesman who has provided misleading information to the press on several occasions about Bush's military service.
Initially Bartlett said that Bush could not get to Houston for his physical, but this was proved wrong when it was shown that Bush could have visited flight surgeons stationed in Alabama.
Bartlett then said the F-102 fighter that Bush was trained to fly was removed from service, but this was proved wrong when it was shown that the F-102 remained in service in Bush's unit for two more years.

BARTLETT: Well, I think what President Bush was pointing out was that there was two very different, competing versions or visions or what was happening in Iraq, why we were there, and what the outcome of that was going to be, between himself and Senator John Kerry.
BARTLETT: He was saying that the DOMA situation, the Defense of Marriage Act, might be the changing force in the United States Senate.
BARTLETT: He didn't use that formulation precisely, but he did talk about a need and a desire to want to make sure that they get the stories accurate as possible and that we have a relationship in which we can be constructive on behalf of the American people.

BARTLETT: Well, and in this case, he is accepting the explanation of his staff as to why the process that we put in place to benefit him and to benefit the public to make sure that the facts that he provides are unquestioned and assertive.
BARTLETT: Well, the NSC, as we've explained, on more than one occasion, through the vetting process of the State of the Union address, raised that issue, got it fact-checked from the CIA, came back, and that's why it was in the speech.

BARTLETT: Well, it's going to be very aggressive in explaining, particularly to America's seniors, that no changes in benefits, no changes in the system if you were born before 1950.

Bartlett is part of the inner circle of a corrupt administration; it will be very hard for him to be taken seriously in anything he says.
Bartlett with his pompous title “Counselor to the President” is running from one network to the next to try to spin the WH’s position.

Bartlett: Well Norah, in the next sentence, I believe, right after that, his citation as an example of liberals was he cited MoveOn.org.
Bartlett: Well Norah, I know for some when you hear that it might sound like they are conflicting each other, but in fact Vice President Cheney and President Bush get their briefings from John Abizaid, the general who's in charge of the region, as well as Gen. Casey who's in charge there in Baghdad.

White House counselor Dan Bartlett told Ron Brownstein that the 2002 vote on Congress’ Iraq resolution was not about campaign politics.
It was probably helpful that Bartlett said this over the phone, so Brownstein wouldn’t have to watch Bartlett struggle to say it with a straight face.
For Dan Bartlett to insist that Bush “went out of his way” not to make the war political is to make plain his cynical disdain for the electorate.

BARTLETT:  The Social Security Administration is an independent organization that has a duty to fulfill the obligations of making sure that checks go out and that the solvency of the actual system itself.
BARTLETT:  Well, again, President Bush has talked about the caps, has talked about the issues of payroll taxes.  We're not going to be in a position where I, here today, are going to negotiate the details of the plan with ourselves.  The president is going to work with Congress to do that.
BARTLETT:  I believe there to be.  I know the Congress has already expressed interest in knowing this issue, and we will work with Congress to see--because the president has made very clear that there ought to be a bright line between journalism and advocacy.

Cavuto left unchallenged Bartlett's straw man: "[W]hen it comes to the plot of 9-11, nobody has suggested that or directly said that Saddam Hussein ordered those attacks"
On the August 31 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto failed to challenge White House counselor Dan Bartlett's straw man argument that "nobody has suggested that or directly said that Saddam Hussein ordered" the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Bartlett made this argument in response to a question from Cavuto about whether Bush administration critics will claim that the administration is "trying to link 9-11 to Iraq" as the five-year anniversary of the attacks approaches.

Summary: After White House counselor Dan Bartlett asserted that the House Republican leadership "appear[s] to be very aggressive" in its investigation of the scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley, George Stephanopoulos failed to note reports that GOP leaders in the House knew about the allegations against Foley for months and did little to investigate them.
Bartlett responded: "The members of the House of Representatives, the leadership, appear to be very aggressive in pursuing this investigation, and I think that's the best place, is for the leadership to determine the way forward."
BARTLETT: The president was not aware of this.

 Harry Smith Paddles Dan Bartlett And Coddles Ted Kennedy In Speech Preview | NewsBusters.org
Smith interviewed Dan Bartlett, Counselor to the President in the 7:00 half hour and Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) in the 7:30 half hour.
Bartlett was on the program for only 3 minutes, and fielded 3 questions, while Senator Kennedy was given 7 minutes to answer four, two of which related to the passing of Coretta Scott King, the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Following a routine introduction of Dan Bartlett, Harry Smith asked some tough questions which in itself is not bias, but when that is combined with the negative tone that was taken and compared to the way Senator Kennedy was treated, it raises questions about fairness.

BARTLETT: Well, Soledad, what they want to look at, and what the Senate Intelligence Committee is going to look at, is the public comments the president and the administration and members of Congress made during the run-up to the war.
Soledad sharply questioned Bartlett's assertion and accused him of being deliberately misleading while he was claiming that Dems are being misleading when they accuse the Bush Administration of misleading the American public.
Bartlett seemed thrown off-guard, I'm sure he didn't expect a CNN newsanchor to throw facts in his face or to contradict him-- especially not Soledad O'Brien!
