[James Ewell Brown Stuart]

I think it is easy to say However, in the face of a hostile media and a soft culture, he has not done a good ENOUGH job. This elections does not prove your thesis. All I have to do go back to 2002 and 2004 and say that he was just as outspoken then as he was now. He didn't change the message. Your answer is an easy out, an easy blame.

There were many, many reasons why the elections turned out the way they did. There are historical reasons (they can't be discounted), there are political reasons, and there are cultural reasons.

We are doing a lot of scape goating on these threads. Blaming everyone and everybody we can think of - most of the time unjustly.

It is not easy for me to say he did not do a good enough job. I don't no if anyone could have done a good ENOUGH job. The president must gain and maintain the support of the electorate. His effectiveness is tested in elections. We have a soft culture that seems to lack endurance. Can anyone do a good enough job educating and motivating the people?

We simply must continue to do our part.
