I love the angst of the same people who rant and rave about Bush "raising Clintons stature" want him to act like a Talk Radio host and go trash talk every wack job critic and whiner. Gee really would be a good use of his time to raise the stature of every whiner and critic. I think Abraham Lincoln said it best why this tactic is so utterly futile.

"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."

A President is President of ALL the people NOT just the Always Whining among the Conservatives. To want him to act like a Trash Talking Talk Radio host is politically stupid. Reagan NEVER got down in the gutter with his political foes. All that does is smear MORE mud over everyone INCLUDING the President. It is one of the reasons Clinton got NOTHING done. He was so busy worrying all the time about his PR he did NOTHING in 8 years.

The people who ARE suppose to be a President's Defenders spend ALL their time shooting AT him. Maybe instead of whining constantly for Bush to come save them, the always pouting Conservative Talking heads and Congress critters might get off their butts and DO THEIR JOB here?

A simple, accurate point that is not made enough around here.

Thank you.

If you're giving out the awards for post of the day, I've got a vote here for you.

OTOH, I've got a stinking hunch (based on the recent uptick in comments from Cheney, Bush and others) that the gloves may very well come off completely in the next week or so; I don't suggest that any of the dims or MSM are going to be addressed re any of their BS, but that the TOPICS addressed are going to be served up hot off the griddle with absolutely no sugar allowed.

Calling the Islamofascists by their proper name was only the first stroke, IMHO.
