I am no Bush hater, believe me, but I just think he should entirely shut out the liberals: no press club banquets, no interviews to the MSM, no soirees with Hollywood leftiies, etc. If these people want to see the inside of the White House, let them go to Barnes and Noble or Borders and buy a book.
Some of us don't believe that as a Christian, that's possible.
I understand your point of view, but think of the added attack on him that shutting them out entirely would result in. He is a results oriented leader, and he will use the means necessary to get the results he wants...........and sometimes that means being amenable to people who despitefully use you.
As for that Clinton thing........if you think about it, it's going to hurt Hillary big time. Every time the President refers to Bill as 'his brother,' Hil loses more leftist support. I think they're neutralizing the debauched one's effectiveness as well...........and perhaps being a positive influence on a man who's never had one in his sorry, pathetic, vile life.
