Bush failed to use the Bully pulpit and bring things to the people. He instead let the media and the left use the pulpit day in and day out to trash him.

It would have been a different story had he challenged them daily on their propaganda.

This bears repeating, in full!

In addition he or Rove allowed Bush's integrity to be called into question daily. One thing that could be said of Bush prior to election was that win or lose you always felt you were getting the truth. The MSM and Dems destroyed that and Bush and Co sat back and let it happen.
