Even tonight the left was taunting him outside the White House as though he himself had lost the race. The MSM systematically destroyed his reputation as a president, making sure that he would be a liability rather than an asset for anyone who ran on the GOP ticket in 08. Their treatment of him has been one of the biggest tragedies I have ever seen, and yet I have wanted nothing more than for GW to use the bully pulpit inherent in his position to defend himself and his decisions. WHY didn't anyone come out with a strong voice and tie the financial disasters of Fannie and Freddie to the DEMS? That whole scheme should have backfired royally on the Dems, but instead most Americans sucked up the lies from the media and believed that Republicans were responsible for the mess. Time and again there were opportunities and certainly reasons for calling a press conference and just reaming people out for their lies and distortions. I believe you have to teach people how to respect you. GW allowed the MSM to define him and their definition was all wrong.

As if the MSM would have ever allowed his message to resonate; they would have followed every attempt with their endless panels of lying, babbling media hogs after every single attempt along with unlimited face time for fat Barney Frank.
Pipe dreams.
Absolutely agree. Two words: BULLY PULPIT. Learn to use them!
