re: #492 WindUpBird

Shoring up his popularity with his base is simply what presidents do.

I’m just saying the truth, that’s what he’s doing. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, it is a thing. Every president has strategies for cultivating their base. Bush, Clinton, Bush42, Nixon, Roosevelt, FDR, Reagan, Kennedy and on and on. Whether the country is tanking or in a golden age, that’s totally irrelevant to what I was saying.

Bush didn’t…he pissed of his base and if there were a third election he would have lost in a landslide…but he did make tough, unpopular choices…he got it done in Iraq in spite off all the grotesque opposition from people like BO who still insisted deep into his campaign that the surge was a failure…BO is a lunatic, obsessed with his own popularity and image…that’s why he’s fighting with Fox and ignoring Afghanistan…shit runs downhill
