"i can not be the only one who thinks the party in power should defend themselves."

The media characterize any Bush response to any critic as a "smear campaign." To counteract that requires a better talent than Scott McClellan. McClellan is proof positive that Bush is NOT the master manipulator of public opinion that he's given credit for (that is, accused of) by the Dems.
