The President hasn't started his re-election campaign yet and why should he?! Kerry is still not the nominee. BTW, the President has a full plate right now.He and his advisors know full well when it's time for them to go on the offensive - more so than anybody on this board.Why waste precious resources until you know who the candidate will be?

Your analysis is deeply flawed. First, the President started his re-election campaign the day he took office. It is clear that you do not understand the business of politics, if you fail to understand this. Second, it is irrelevant who the Democrat nominee will be. The "AWOL" attack came directly from the DNC Chairman, and not from Kerry himself. So how is it "wasting precious resources" to counterattack prior to the RAT convention, instead of going defensive and injuring Bush's approval ratings?
No, the White House showed bad form on this round, and believe me they know it. I would be surprised to watch them repeat this weak performance. They are much smarter than that.
