I almost bought into your pre-election optimism - it didn't pan out did it.
we have to be realists. there is no reason he couldn't stand up at this press conference and say "the american people have to realize that they have elected a congressional majority that has NO PLAN on what to do in iraq or in the war on terror". instead, he tosses Rumsfeld under the bus, and praises the Dems.
and its not "bashing" to point that out - what are we supposed to do, accept everything as being "OK" - just go along/get along.

Sorry, had he said that the MSM would have turned it into the President being a sore loser, like we always say about the dims.
Rumsfled submitted his resignation twice and the President refused it. May be this time Rumsfled just had it and he will not accept a no from the President.
