" Bush understands it, and will use it appropriately as a political tool, "
I don't think President Bush ( rightly or wrongly ) uses his office for political power.
I think his MO is to do what he believes is best for the country,not to advance a political agenda.
If President Bush had been more political in maintaining his case for the Iraq war, perhaps he could have blunted the influence of the media and Democrats in turning the public against him.
IT IS JUST A BUNCH OF RECYCLED CRAP!!!!!
