Tell us, at what point G.H.W.B. would react?
If my colleague insulted my son, the President, on national T.V., by spouting lies and vitriol, it would be past time to dispense with civility, and either shut the f up, or say something truthful.
"I like him" is not the response of a real man.
I repeat...........most of you armchair macho men don't reach the buckle of GHW's belt when it comes to courage.
You could make your point by saying you wished he would say more, but to say he is not a 'real man' makes a joke out of everything you say.
And puts you in complete agreement with Time Magazine in 1992.......they called him a 'wimp' too, and they were just as wrong as you are.
But at least they were leftists, and doing what is expected. You're supposed to have more sense than that.
