I listen to NPR early AM (yeah, I know, it really wakes me up, LOL.)
Anyway, to hear Cokie Roberts talk about Bush, you'd think he was running for a third term.
She's "worried" he's alienating black and hispanic voters and therefore, that's why he's going to his base with the Alito nomination because that's "all he has left."
I'm yelling at the radio, "He's not running for President again...he doesn't need their votes!"
That has driven me nuts also. I think because Clinton never stopped campaigning the MSM has come to expect that from the President.
LOL. I know I am not the only one from whom NPR elicits that response. Sometimes, when driving in rush hour traffic, I would actually glance around at other drivers to see who else was pounding the dashboard :)
