And as usual Bush just sat back and let the rats lie and didn’t say a word in his own defense. He should have called a press conference and played the video for everyone to see. That is the main thing I had against Bush. He let the libs and MSM define him. He never fought back and it hurt him and us badly. It also gave us Obama.

I told FrogDad that when BO was elected. I believe that President Bush was an honorable man (flame me if you must), but he should have had a designated talking head to be on every show every week to refute the BAZILLION lies they were telling. Video, audio, slides, briefings, anything to show the putrescence that was/is the democrat party.

The myth that Bush's not defending himself gave us Obama is unsupportable by the facts.

Obama was an American Idol candidate who had a slobbering, lying, covering up media.
McCain was a terrible candidate, and along with Obama was campaigning against Bush
There was an overload of white guilt.
Obama got millions of illegal overseas dollars.
The economic meltdown blamed on Bush was, in fact, a Democrat meltdown

And that's just for starters.

Bush's 'not defending himself' was due to his principles regarding the presidency and his having the priority of doing his job and not dealing with his critics.

You can fault him for that as much as you want, but it was not the reason we got Obama.
