This David Frum column summarizes a lot of my own thinking about Bush. He has missed opportunities, failed to explain his policies and allowed his enemies to define him. McCain must break free. Frum overstates the decline of the conservative base but they are demoralized by the debasement of the currency and the loss of initiative by the president.
You got that right, Mike K. It’s hard to even call Bush a bad communicator because he doesn’t communicate enough to measure how well he does.
Very frustrating for Iraq War supporters.
