Never before have I seen a freeper so seemingly delighted at the president not fighting back about lies told about him in the media.
Yes, it's the old media. And yes, we all hate it/them. But apparently you don't understand that millions of people still get their news from that old media.
And millions of people are left with the impression that the president lied about this or that because, as has been noted by so many freepers and pundits, the president let an awful lot of lies stand about him last year. You think that's a good thing.
And when freepers happen to mention that it's not a good thing, you go off on this strident bullying act and you should really stop.
Simply amazing to me that the same people who whine endlessly about "Bush elevated Clinton's stature" NOW want Bush to crawl down in the mud and elevate the stature of every single Bush critic by engaging in hand to hand combat with them.
Ever stop for even a heart beat to think, for just a second, that the President HAS A JOB to do? You all want him to act like a Talk Radio host and spend all his time playing smash mouth politics. That may make you feel better, it does NOTHING to move our agenda forward. Bill Clinton did that. Look how that worked out for the Democrats.
I know this is a vain effort since you all have convinced yourself and simply tune out anything that does not blankly conform to your emotional whimsy but here is what another Republican President said to people making the EXACT same complaint about him that you all make week in and week out about President Bush.
"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference." Abraham Lincoln.
