I agree completely. It is childish, petulant, small-minded, shallow and vacuous. Unfortunately, with this American public, it works.
Bush did not defend himself frequently nor forcefully enough. Obama and his henchmen won't be making that mistake. They will, at every opportunity, personalize their attacks on their critics and the MSM will be willing accomplices.
I agree that Bush didn’t defend himself. He should have. I believe that Obama has a personality disorder. And very thin skin.
We may see it that way...but they see it it as good strategy...see links at post # 69, # 134,
