I don't blame GWB when he has "pwerful forces" as Algore would say, working against him, and unfairly so. But part of the blame is his. He does not fight back hard enough nor does he take his case to the American people nearly often enough.
Absolutely correct.
The dirty little secret is that The Prez is a snob from a family of snobs. He does not believe, as did Reagen, in the power of the people. That is why he does not turn to the people for support. He has never done so, except during elections.
Bush's perennial smirk is a constant reminder that he is convinced of his superiority. The man is brilliant but deeply flawed.
All those stories about not showing up for National Guard meetings, the missing flu vaccine all his fault, the ammo dump in Iraq that was never guarded, the insurgents, the terrible economy, oh the list goes on.
If he'd done it our way things would have been soo different.
He'd be President right now. He just didn't get our messages.
