Unfair. Iraq War aside, he just isn't
fighting hard enough to improve his image as a leader. He isn't fighting back because he doesn't want to irreparably damage the Republican Party. He's trying to do the right thing. If I were in his shoes, I would
stomp butt, hard, every single day of my time remaining. But, he's a responsible man, so he doesn't fight back, which makes him look horribly ineffective, combined with the unpopularity of the war and Cheney's eery, shadowy image. It's complicated, but I can't think of a single Democrat who would have done better as US President in the wake of 911. Clinton would have missed the entire event, addictively chasing tail, as he did, and having to cover his tracks every week or so. :elefant:
