| | Online NewsHour: Oliphant and York -- August 22, 2003 |
 | | Tom, President Bush, although he's supposed to be on vacation, had a very busy week this week trying to focus the public's attention and that of news organizations on domestic issues: energy, the environment, the economy. |
 | | BYRON YORK: Well, presidents don't control events any more than the rest of us, and you know, a week ago we were talking about the electricity grid, and I'm kind of glad we're not talking about that anymore, because I didn't know very much about it. |
 | | TOM OLIPHANT: It is a political problem right now, though the criticism I'd make, for example of the Democratic presidential candidates is that in effect, they're urging the president to do something which logically you can expect him to do. |
