I don't expect Bush to change this; it's just not the type of guy he is. He's not a Franklin Roosevelt type of president -- and even though FDR tended to be a manipulative, bullying socialist jerk, he was a far more effective communicator than Bush has ever been or probably ever will be.

If he wants to win over the public,and he is a winner,he has to change his tactics.
Probably because Bush understands something the Media talking heads don't. He is President until Jan 2009. The other thing is the Pres does not have any proxies. All the people who SHOULD be making these points on Iraq are so busy sitting around screaming "why doesn't Bush do something". The reason Clinton was so good at PR was he had all these loyal proxies who would fan out to all the radio and talk shows and repeat, repeat, repeat his points. Bush, however, cannot expect ANY loyalty from anyone. IF they are not actively UNDERCUTTING Bush (Hagel,Luger,McCain et al.) they are out there (Frum, Limbaugh et al) whining "Why doesn't Bush do this, why doesn't Bush do that".
When did the Conservative movement turn into a such a bunch of whiners?
