Did you take note that as he fought back and his poll numbers rose, all of a sudden the New York Slimes just had to reveal the NSA eavesdropping and monitoring of MOsques for radiation?Never mind both are legal and needed, anything to denigrate a good President.
Every hit piece has a purpose.
The purpose of this story by this reporter, Anne Gearan, is to drive a wedge between Condi Rice and the President by pointing out Rice's popularity relative to that of Bush. What Gearan and other liberals fail to realize is that Bush does not care whether or not Rice is more popular than he is. In fact, the more popular Condi is, the more effective she is at her job, which is executing the President's foreign policy.
This piece will have the opposite effect of its purpose. Long ago Rice and the President gave up on trying to appease the hateful media. Now they are merely tools to be manipulated, if possible.
Be Seeing You,
