i agree. he and cheney seem to feel that responding to criticism
is beneath them. there was noone other than tony snow (rip)
who showed any ability to deal with press. that is part of the
job. you must help control the narrative with the public!
i’m so angry with bush. he showed no leadership at all and
left us with obama.

Yes. His PR was terrible and now that Scottie McClellan - his worst press secretary - betrayed him, we know why. Like his Dad, GWB seemed to live in the old-fashioned world where campaigning only happened in election season. Bush was over-loyal to sub-par subordinates like mcclellan.

Tony Snow otoh was a good press secretary and it is a great loss to have him leave this world.

"i’m so angry with bush. he showed no leadership at all and left us with obama."

Please dont be angry. Disappointed may be a better emotion.
