I’m not talking about the plane attacks. I’m talking about the personal attacks he suffered every day in the press. I don’t think Bush took it to the press the way he should have because he wasn’t that type, but he suffered for it.
I was responding to post 14.
I agree with that. You touched on Bush's major failure. He didn't communicate.
He made speeches early on, talking about the impending sub-prime housing crash but the speeches were to select audiences. He did not take that problem to the people.
He allowed the libs and MSM to beat him over the head about the reasons for removing Saddam from power. He was depending on 'History' for vindication. In other words, he was waiting for someone else to do the job.
The historical fact will be that his failure to communicate and allowing the libs to own the narrative contributed significantly to Obama's election.
As a result, he tried to cover his butt by writing a book, released 2 years after he left office. Sorry! If he had something that the American people needed to know, he should have spoke up while he was in office.
