Certainly is. I wish the President would do more of these interviews and address the nation on this issue more often.... it stinks that he doesnt. Sure he makes fumbles sometimes but still I think the country would have a higher opinion of him if he was out there duking it out and fighting back against a media that paints him as a stubborn moron. His approval numbers might not be so low he would respond to some of these attacks that are leveled against him. Define your opposition before they define you.
I think one problem with Bush is that he tries to avoid the media so his message doesn't get out. I think I read that he's had the fewest press conferences among recent Presidents. He should actually take pages out of the McCain playbook and talk to the media all the time. His message will get out there instead of being filtered by the media and his public speaking skills will get better with all the practice. People believe someone more who takes the effort to get out their message rather than relying on their defenders to get out their message.
Yes like I said I wish he would address the nation and do more interviews and put himself out there. He's let's the press tear him to shreds without responding.
I think the reason why he doesn't talk to the media very much is because they are harsh on him. He's probably afraid that they're going to ask him quesitons he doens't know the answer to right away or that he's gonna mess up on it. But of course, I think most people know when someone is being treated unfairly.
