even I know that when you see the MSM up there bashing you're every move, you gotta get up there and fight back, and he ain't doin it.. and I never claimed to be the know it all.... I just notice that he's getting the heck beat out of him on the public ring and he needs to refute some of these outrageous allegations.
Bush is fighting back, as are many within his Administration. But they will never control the media (nor would I want them to), which unfortunately does powerfully influence what news (read: opinion) is presented and how it is presented. Yes, the bully pulpit can help, and Dubya could take lessons from the Great Communicator, but the main problem isn't with Dubya.

I am speaking of the president's comunication and public relation skills overall. And last week, I did not see much of a change in his presentation. Not enough to say, "Wow the president is fighting back" That opinion doesn't make me ignorant or a fraud.
and I agree that the main problem isn't with Dubya. It the MSM that he is having to fight and I merely said that he is losing that battle with them..
Yes he could learn quite a bit from Reagan's presentation style. But just because he gave a few decent speeches with "grace and intelligent answers", in one week, does not constitue a "fighting back" label. I still disagree that his speeches last week were graceful or well communicated. But a fraud am not...
