No we don't, but we also shouldn't get a President that will do nothing to defend not only his honor but the honor of his people. I have never in my life (well maybe with the exception of Nixon) seen a man and his administration so slandered and beaten down, and yet W does absolutely nothing to counter it or expose the lies of it. Some call this the nobility of office, only problem is that by allowing the lies to live, it slowly errodes and destroys the respect for the office for future presidents as well as his own legacy.
My biggest complaint is W has a habit of staying quiet in the face of loud criticism. Reminds me of how the Royal’s initially handled the Diana stuff after she died.
Its a blood sport, and you don’t win by taking political punches without responding in kind.

REALLY? . . . It only took the leftist media THREE MONTHS to destroy GEORGE ALLEN (the supposed ‘modern day’ Ronald Reagan) and this in a state where he had been both a ‘popular’ governor and senator.
Bottom line: The President is doing what he can against a relentlessly critical 24/7 media/entertainment/education cabal dedicated to one overriding objective: to destroy him both professionally and personally! . . . It’s to the credit of the President and his team that despite these constant attacks the President has managed to maintain his PERSONAL POPULARITY (which has never dipped below 60%) and his REPUBLICAN POPULARITY (which is still approximately 80%)!
I recommend that you read Byron York’s book on the Soros inspired/financed cabal that was mobolized 6 months before the 2004 election and is now operating at full and lethal efficiency — scary stuff!
Would he address the nation every night on national television? Seems to me he would spend all of his productive time awake countering the 24/7 vitriole spewed in his direction. Is that his role as President?
I get the impression that W is a pretty busy guy. I doubt he considers his detractors worthy of a minute of his time. I sure wouldn't.
Ultimately his deeds, his actions,his decisions on matters of importance will be all that matter, not who won the foodfight. Wasting valuable time responding to fools would accomplish nothing but make the fools think they're getting to him, heighten their sense of self-importance. Why bother? Why give them any sastifaction?
