Feelings
In an AP story about President Bush's reaction to the situation in Pakistan, his spokeswoman was quoted saying:
"The president feels very strongly that President Musharraf knows exactly how he
feels about the situation," [Dana] Perino said.'
No, we musn't talk about the president's feelings, and certainly not twice in one sentence. It's just not polite.
Try this:
"The president has made his position perfectly clear to President Musharraf."
Yes, that's better.

True in most cases, but I did like it when Bill was feeling my pain.
Given W's feelings about Putin, I'm not encouraged when he consults his feelings about Musharraf.
