Meanwhile, the Democrats launched a massive PR campaign against George W. Bush, touting the economic collapse. The media played right into it,
Sorry, that’s so backward it’s nearly impossible. The media launched a massive PR campaign against George W Bush about twenty minutes after all but two US Congressmembers voted for the invasion and regime change in Iraq. It was kept up relentlessly for the next five years, harping on torture, international law, Abu Ghraib, any foreign news story complaining about US diplomacy, raw assertions of a failing economy every week, and every last defeatist detail it could find or invent about the war itself. That PR campaign has yet to admit that the surge worked and that the US is beginning to stand down as the Iraqis stand up. They intend to reserve to Obama the credit for that success, no thanks to him and his long and demagogic attempts to sabotage the victory.
The Democrat PR machine simply tacked their sordid tales onto this longstanding campaign of ‘news’ deliberately tailored to undermine and discredit the elected executive branch of the US.
