I do pay attention to whent he Pres. Speaks, I always do when I can. And I laugh at the MSM when I do rarely watch them because they don't give him a chance...but the President is not fighting back (very well), no matter how well he spoke last week.
I mean.......NO one watching him speak last week would say that. And the fact that you DID say it made it look like you hadn't seen him at all.
To the point of whether or not he's fighting back........you may want him to get down and dirty, but he won't. He's more gracious than most of us are, but to say that he hasn't been fighting back, is just plain and simple wrong.
btw, it was HIS decision, against advice to release the Saddam tapes. The facts are coming out without his saying a word. THAT, groove........is fighting back.
