During the Bush administration, or any past presidents, did we see critical voices in the media being singled out for punishment or ridicule?
Bush had plenty of critics from day 1, but, was there a concerted effort from the Bush White House to single out his critics in the media?
I think that I have heard more criticism of reports, commentators, etc. by the Obamabots in his short time so far in office than I ever heard from any other presidents or presidential flunkies.
And, how ironic it comes from a president who pledged to change the tone in Washington, who wanted to be post-partisan, who didn’t want to play these political games and keep score of who said what about whom.
No, because George W. Bush believed it would demean the Office of the President to do so. And he was right, That One IS demeaning the Office of the President.
