Many W acolytes here are highly defensive of anything resembling criticism. They can't seem to grasp that their reaction provokes more vitriol.

As highly as I think of RWR, I do not feel the need to sling personal insults at those who criticise him in earnest.

BTW seeing as though some here like the indirect form of ad hominum, I tried it myself to see how it felt. Verdict; its chickensh*t & I didn't like it. If you felt my comments were directed at you personally, I apologize.

No, I didn't take it personally at all. (I'm not around enough to have been included in your comment).

My response is to the numerous comments at the beginning that were knee jerk criticisms (the 'poseur' 'photo op' and 'LBJ' lines, for example) that aren't based on any form of reality.

Laura has always joked that her husband was a "windshield rancher." There was no pretense in what he was doing at the ranch while he was President.

He cleared brush because it needed to be cleared, and it released tension. He drove around in his pick up truck, fished and took hikes, and long walks with his lovely wife.

He's still going to do all those things at the ranch. Not for "photo ops," but because it's been their Texas home for 8 years, and they like it there.

My point, I guess, is that among reasonable people, there would have been no criticisms of this nature at all. They're all concocted to draw attention to the person doing the posting, and not any legitimate form of criticism of the President and First Lady.

We have an enemy of all that is right and good in the White House, and a very real danger to this republic, so I wonder about those who still feel the need to nitpick and gripe about the President who led us through turmoil and danger with dignity and courage.

JMHO
