Well, I am sick of the chorus of democrats as well. However, there is method in not responding. Many of these comments are not seen beyond cable news or one short network broadcast. If they are not responded to, they simply fall like lead balloons. If they ARE responded to, then we have one of those continuing sagas that the news people love, which goes on and on and gives Clinton and his cronies more face time.

Most Americans don't even listen to this stuff, and of those that do, you can probably figure than a good portion loathe the Clintons anyway, a few love them, and the rest wonder why the Clintons have such bad manners.

Bush has a hostile press. What seems like reasonable response to this stuff would be twisted into "picking on Clinton by the VRWC." It wouldn't work.

Now individually we all can do a lot...letters, calls, etc. letting the press know that we think these comments are terrible. But the President and his staff cannot.

Look at this mess today...and I don't for a minute believe Ari even mentioned Clinton by name. It will be on the evening news, and no doubt Clinton will get to give a response. He gets face time, and nothing is gained. Better by far to ignore them in an official capacity, and let grass roots, friendly columnists and tv shows, and radio talk show refute it.

Feel free to criticize the dems all you want. Bush has to be cautious...until we get the Senate back.

I agree Miss Marple, I guess I just want to finally see all of this nit-picking at the President to cease and desist unless there is some sane reason for it. Our President has a job to do, how in the name of Saint Peter can anyone work under conditions as these.

He's doing his best to clean up Clinton's mess he left behind, not to mention fighting terrorism all over the world, get our econamy back on even keel and fight off every scum-bum that has a beef with him or who is after his job (Daschle).

I sure pray things take a turn for the better for him and the tables turn on all the worms that seem to have nothing better to do.

Interesting. I have the link to the daily White House press gaggle that Ari holds every morning. It wasn't updated today. An independent radio network does the updating, Ellen Ratner is one of them...

This negative stabs of the democrats regarding the war and Bush's failures have been spouted more strongly since Hollins began balbbering last week. First he used the ENRON lies about O'Neil. Yesterday he balsted Summers, and now Bush. Early this morning Bob Kerry was on CNN with Paula Zahn. He began by trashing the Bush tactics about the war and our failure to get Ben Laden. These are for sure the talking points that are now going to used on all tv shows.

Now with the Crossfire changes adding Carville and Begala, things are going to heat up fast. I was so troubled last night over the same feelings that I used to get back in the campaign days. I am a true Bush fan, but he must begin to counterattack these vicious remarks or things will only get worse and pretty soon everyone will believe them. He can be a Teddy Roosevelt and he needs to get his bull horn out of the museum and take to the cities and towns and get his message out.

The democrats have their full machine in force now and with the likes of MCCain and his trumpet, Bush will lose the momentum he has so courageously worked towards.

There are days when I hear Daschle use his passive aggressive tone about his being very disappointed about this or that, that it makes me feel that Clinton has never left and that the dems have all of the power.

Honestly, it was printed on the beginning of this thread what Ari had said, specifically about Clinton and his administration, and when questioned about it, he backpeddled. I saw it live. I've never seen Ari act like that...however, I think you may be right when you say (Or somebody said it here) he "wandered off the reservation" a bit.

I think that's exactly what happened.
