If the 'White House' wants any of these people to appear on a Sunday talkshow, its a done deal.

Fairly obvious you know NOTHING about modern politics. The real world does NOT work the way your Hollywood dictated illusion tell you it does.

Sorry but in the real world Bush cannot just snap his fingers and demand the Sunday shows allow him to pick their guests. To suggest that demonstrates appalling ignorance of political realities. If Bush is so powerful that he can dictate the media converge, why was the Last Iraq vote a 1 day story? Why are NONE of his daily dozen weekly speeches covered live? Why has the Dinosaur Media chose to quit covering the daily Pentagon Briefings on Iraq? Why are none the Iraq medal award ceremonies covered? Why are any of the dozens of good Iraq news stories Sand Rat posts here daily every picked up by the Dinosaur Media?

The truth is we live in a world that does NOT operate on the dictatorial whimsy the 100% delude themselves the President has. When the Dinosaur Media goes from pretending to be objective to out right cheerleaders for the other side, as they have done with Bush, there is very little the President can do to MAKE cover things. You delusions only work if the Media is WILLING TO WORK WITH the President. They USE to when they pretended to be "objective". They had to throw the right a bone now and then. Now, they no longer even pretend to be objective and there is NO way for the WH to compel them.

I know this doesn't conform to"the Mike Savage Conservatives" illusions that the world can be ordered to their emotional whimsy simply by Presidential Fiat.

Sorry but how you FEEL about things is NOT reality. Please stop stating your feelings as facts. They are not facts, they are just your feelings.

I really don't know how to respond to such silly, ignorant and juvenile drivel. You are convinced you know everything there is to know about American politics. Well, I think you don't know your arse from a hole in the ground. This has nothing to do with my feelings, this has everything to do with the President's inability to get his message out to the American people.

You seem to be saying the beltway world of WashDC operates under a system that allows the leftwing to dictate the pararmeters for fighting a political war. Therefore, its a done deal in your book and the President has no power or influence to combat such an effort. You can't be serious. Amazing you actually believe such nonsense. What an irrational and illogical mind you have.

All President's have the power of the Bully Pulpit. A President can make news every day if he chooses to. 24-7-365. The fact remains, the President can get just about anyone from his inner circle to appear on the Sunday morning talk shows, as a representative of the administrations policies. Bush hasn't made the effort most conservatives believe is the right effort. Bush has done a good job fighting the war in Iraq. He's done a lousy job fighting the war at home.

You're entitled to your opinion. You just happen to be wrong most of the time.
