quote of the day

At the least, I should have said, ‘I will refrain from answering the question,’ which I often did in past news conferences.

The old, “Ignore it , and it will hopefully go away.” Someone else’s problem , another day.

Concentrate on the small miscellaneous stuff, look busy and wait them out. Hopefully then the fact that you are not competent or willing to answer will go unnoticed. Those seeking answers will give up and go away. It’s a game of will.

I actually like Konosan, but come on guys if you can’t formulate an answer to questions you shouldn’t be in the position of leadership. Is it too much to ask?
