What hath the “New Tone” wrought?
July 21st, 2008 at 09:11am Leo Pusateri
While I’ve admired President Bush for many reasons, what I could never understand was the President’s reluctance to answer the many unfounded, over-the-top criticisms and out-and-out attacks that were foisted upon him by the left of this nation.
Paul Kengor addresses this in a must-read piece at the American Thinker. For all of the Bush Administration’s successes, most notably his success via perseverance of his Iraq war policy, President Bush’s “new tone” policy set the stage for the relentless, unanswered barrages of assaults by the leftists of this nation and around the world.
The “feel-good” language espoused by many democrats regarding “getting along” and their supposed pining to end the “politics of personal destruction,” in the end, of course, was so much political puffery. On the other hand, George Bush’s “new tone” was not only a buzzword, but S.O.P. for his administration. As with nearly every aspect of his administration (and what those on the left could never fathom nor abide), Bush actually meant what he said and said what he meant when he proclaimed that he would establish “a new tone” in Washington.
Paul Kengor asserts that Bush’s “new tone” was a spinoff of his adherence to his evangelical Christian roots; specifically with regard to the principle of “turning the other cheek (Luke 6:29).”
While a president’s abiding by principle is certainly to be lauded, the application of this principle to Bush’s leftist detractors during his administration yielded disastrous, and yes, even dangerous results. Turning the other cheek allowed the leftists to set the agenda for debate, and allowed them relatively free rein in their efforts to dangerously damage the morale of this country with carte-blanche levels of seditious rhetoric and out-and-out falsehoods. Bush’s “new tone” allowed the leftist elements of this country to give licentious aid and comfort to America’s enemies during a time when our sons and daughters were in harm’s way, giving our enemies encouragement to climb out of their caves and kill another day. Bush’s “new tone” has made it much easier for democrats and other leftist elements to continue relatively unabated on a roll of propaganda based on contrivances that continues to this day, on every issue from energy to foreign policy.
Unfortunately, the Bush Administration’s failure to utilize the bully pulpit to answer unjust criticism and attacks from detractors has left those of us on the right side of the aisle to do all the heavy lifting; which was all well and good, but not enough.
President Bush has many legislative and policy accomplishments for which to be proud. But public opinion and debate in the arena of ideas are also matters of import.
It is my opinion that President Bush’s “new tone” policy is a virtual handbook of how not to play the game.

New tone, old tone, no tone - didn’t matter. It was GWB’s actions and in some cases, lack of actions that showed his inability to be a respected leader.
During his Presidency, the United States of America was brought to a new low.
He, as a person, failed in his job. Pure and simple.
2. Leo Pusateri | July 21st, 2008 at 9:32 am
C.O., I didn’t even allude to democrat failures in congress; that’s a tome that would take days to write.

The main reason George W. Bush is unpopular is because he was a lousy President with an uninspiring personality who was in charge during eight of the darkest years in our nation’s history.
To show just how uninspiring a personality George W. Bush was, consider this: he was the President during 9/11 and failed to say anything memorable. The only quote which anyone remembers from that terrible (though oddly stimulating for those of us who survived it) was about how “Osama Bin Laden can run….but HE CAN’T HIDE! We’re going to smoke him out of his hole!” That is not exactly Reaganesque or FDR-esque rhetoric… and moreover we now know that Osama DID run, he DID hide, and Bush has never smoked him out of that hole.

Thank you for your BDS meaningless opinion.

The fact that the Bush family and the Bin Laden family have a looooooong, tangled, complex history with each other is quite worrisome.
Imagine if Barack Obama had the same ‘family ties’ to an unrepentant terrorist family like the Bush’s do, how would the media ignore it ?

Please take your facts and sweep them under the rug OK?
7. neocon | July 21st, 2008 at 12:14 pm
08ama,
I heard that Bush and Bin Laden are cousins, Cheney and Zawahiri will be joint tenants in common on the 52 bases in Iraq, and all four have conspired to make gas $4 a gallon.
But there’s only six months left for them, unless they usurp the constitution and deems themselves leaders for life.
Let’s hope so

I have “meaningless opnions”, Neocon?: are you saying that the last eight years have been wonderful? Are you saying that Osama was smoked out of his hole? Are you saying that George W. Bush is an inspirational leader? What are you saying?
10. Ricorun | July 21st, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I suppose the real question is, what are the chances that McCain will adopt a tone more suitable to Leo’s tastes?
11. \'08ama | July 21st, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Neo:
I’m not aware of any blood relation between Bush and bin Laden, but their business relationship is well documented.
and ‘Zawahiri’, never heard of him. so I’m not sure what his relationship with Cheney is.
12. neocon | July 21st, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Timothy,
Your opinion is essentially meaningless, as is mine in terms of the big picture. Facts on the other hand can be more of a persuasion, yet your post was nothing more than BDS opinion.
Personally, I have been very financially successful the last few years, AQ has been defeated in Iraq and soon to be defeated in Afghanistan, our troops will come home victorious, and despite our current hiccup in the market, indicators are that we will pull out of this just fine……
have a nice day

This is an interesting topic. I have to admit I’m one who wanted an improvement in the tone of politcal debate. However, since Obama has seized on this issue, he basically sums up all criticism of him as unfair and nasty. On the other hand, it is completely acceptable to demonize anyone on the right at this time. It’s odd I’m disappointed that requests for common decency are being spun into a political tool.
14. jayhay | July 21st, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Leo: “It is my opinion that President Bush’s “new tone” policy is a virtual handbook of how not to play the game.”
The list of things Bush did that proved “what not to do” are simply too much trouble to list.
And the latest from McCain regarding the difficult situation on the “Iraq/Pakistan border”…
Can we just get that guy to his tee time and save us all a lot of trouble? Sheesh. National Security may be his strength, but man, that just means he’s even weaker on everything else.
15. clark smith | July 21st, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I agree that Bush should have been more active in disputing the lies of his detractors.
At the same time I sympathize with the inevitable dilemma facing Bush. The media–which largely controls his ability to answer his opponents–is fully as partisan as his political opponents.
We must face it: Republicans are running uphill into an onrushing gale of golf-ball sized hail, whenever it comes to accessing the public. The media, which largely decides what messages reach the masses, hates the guts of Republicans.
OK, so Bush should have tried the ‘bully pulpit’ more, but we must realize the media would have worked to largely blunt any possible effect of Bush’s efforts in that regard.
16. jayhay | July 21st, 2008 at 5:12 pm
This victimized idea that the media is all against the GOP is a crock - it cuts both ways, and you guys just see bias against the left as ‘the truth’, and bias against the right as ‘media partisanship’. Get over it.
The MSM’s fawning, kid-gloves approach to McCain is endless - if Obama had continued to mention the non-existent Chekoslovakia, the Iraq/Pakistan border, mangling Sunni/Shia realities and such, the media (cheered on by all of you) would be all over it. But McCain gets a pass. Seriously, the guy is having a hard time keeping it all straight.
Is there bias? Sometimes sure, but it goes both ways, and most is not some conspiracy but just human nature. This chant of left-wing media bias is just another cry-baby right wing talking point, and nobody buys it outside the echo chamber.
17. clark smith | July 21st, 2008 at 5:31 pm
jayhay,
If you cannot see and understand that the MSM is overwhelmingly biased to the left, you are beyond reasoning with.
You speak of an MSM “fawning, kid-gloves approach to McCain.” If you can’t see the MSM’s approach to Obama as being that he is the messiah, again, you are beyond reasoning with.
18. neocon | July 21st, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Jayhay,
I am sure that somewhere in these 57 states they’re are talking about the MSM’s kid glove treatment of McCain.

Are you sure this is not just a restatement of Cheney’s “So” tone? Anyway once the “new tone” which seems to be neocon code for “executive privilege” is spun on wingnut radio and blogs; anytime a con refuses to testify before Congress the faithful will be saying, “Amen Brother for doing God’s work.”
25. TheRaptor | July 21st, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Do you think Condi just did this…out of the blue? Right now?
I think little Junior stamping his wittle feetsies, put his big ‘ol frown on his tightly pursed lips set the “tone”.
Condi was doing what junior wanted because BO was making a star of himself on this tour.
See Georgie is trying to do God’s work, humbling BO before the world.
Can you give an AMEN!

I’ll probabley get deleted by it has to be said.
On his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage claimed that autism is “[a] fraud, a racket. … I’ll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out. That’s what autism is.”
Whether it be Limbaugh flopping in his chair to demonstrate Parkinson’s or Savage’s belly laugh at the expense of parents at their wits end not knowing what to do with an autistic child; right wing radio is hour after hour of hate. I just don’t see the family values conservatives tune in each day to listen too. Wouldn’t you be better off turning them off and going to church?

His positions on the 2nd amendment, outlawing late term abortions and Faith based charities I agree with 100%. His FISA position I very much disagree with. His dismissing public campaign finance I disagree with, but I think it was a smart political move. As for invading Afghanistan, we are already there.

Secondly, Bush has not been vicious nor vindictive. You may want to look at Reid, Pelosi, MoveOn, and DailyKOS for those qualities. And in light of those fine people, I would support Bush being more personally insulting towards them.
I don’t support Bush as much as I oppose brain dead people like you. Got it?

Leo, someday you’ll figure it out. Your post shows a hint of realization, but someday you’ll figure it out.
You’ve been had.
All this time you’ve been cheerleading your own executioner. Lefties will taunt you with “I told you so’s” but it won’t really matter. The lives are lost. The money is spent. The moral high ground will never be recovered. The middle class is gutted. The smart jobs are all offshore. The dollar is a joke. Osama is still free. The Taliban is stronger than ever.
You say “what I could never understand was the President’s reluctance to answer the many unfounded, over-the-top criticisms and out-and-out attacks that were foisted upon him by the left of this nation.”
Two reasons: one - that most of them are demonstrably, provably true and to answer them would invite public investigation, and two - he feel no sense of accountability for anything he has done, and as long a Congress refuses to impeach for his crimes, he is correct.
“I told you so” will simply be so many sour grapes.
39. Danish Artist | July 21st, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Amazing, Craptor is going to preach to us about idolization!

Old tone, new tone, whatever.
Used to be that after the election we all took a break from the campaign. Even Reagan and Tipper could sit down for a cold one together after fighting like dogs and cats.
But since the great Rush Limbaugh came along with his high hard on for Clinton and the campaign was extended throughout. Then you throw in Karl Rove who once bugged his own office to make a false claim against a political opponent and we got the same kind of sleaze in the White House. Then when I guy like Scott McClellan finally finds a conscience and tells it like it is and he is thrown to the wolves by the cons - just like the Mafia.
It is clear, if you wish to get a chance at the big show, you had better be ready to take a little and give a little. The American people constantly say they hate the mud but then when the peddler comes around they lap it up like ice cream.
Hopefully, regardless of who gets elected, they will reach out and try to close ranks - after all we are all Americans. But we will have to ignore the Limbaughs of the world whose ratings are fueled by stirring up hate and discord among the population. We have to see him for who he is, an America hater.

Neocon asks what liberals think of:
-2nd Amendment: I like it
-FISA: Don’t really like it
-Outlawing late term abortions: I like it, I’m against abortions after the first trimester
-invading Pakistan: I don’t think Obama ever advocated a full on “invasion” (like Iraq), but I do support incursions if the Pakistanis continue to sit on their hands.
-Faith Based Charities: I like it if the same treatment is given to secular/atheist charities and the money can’t be used for proselytizing
-dismissing public financing: Don’t really care, McCain has been in violation of his own law for some time now. I also like Obama’s “small donor” approach.
About the “New Tone”… The President has been relatively quiet about things, usually because he tends to look stupid when he opens his mouth, but conservative operatives have been just as nasty as liberal ones these past 8 years. Frankly, I don’t think that anyone on this blog has a foot to stand on when complaining about the tone of politics today.
46. neocon | July 21st, 2008 at 10:44 pm
I think Obama’s vote on FISA vindicates the program, proving past liberal hyseria to be just that.
Obama’s previous support of the DC gun ban doesn’t mesh with his complementary remarks of the SC’s decision.
And I don’t care about campaign finance other than Obama’s sanctamonious stance about it previous to his famous 180.
47. sue | July 22nd, 2008 at 12:19 am
When you go over seas like Obama has with three news anchors and a retinue of media it has gone from being a congressional fact finding mission to a 3 ring circus and a huge campaign event.
And just what would you call a grandstanding “speach” in Germany? Hardly a fact finding mission.

Paul Kengor says that Bush’s “new tone” was a spinoff of his adherence to his evangelical Christian roots; specifically with regard to the principle of “turning the other cheek (Luke 6:29).”
The problem is that Bush’s Christian roots never went very deep. Jesus taught that every tree is known by its fruit, and the fruits of the Bush presidency have proven mostly bitter. For a more rigorous examination of the Bush presidency (ca. 2004) from a biblical perspective see “Do we Finally Have a Christian Presidency?” http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/DoWeFinallyHaveAChristianPresidency.html
49. Danish Artist | July 22nd, 2008 at 9:02 am
What else has the “new tone” wrought from the back-stabbing liberals?
NO PROPOSALS FROM THE LEFT ON LOWERING GASOLINE/OIL!!!
IN FACT, they are looking into raising the federal gasoline tax!!! THE LIBERALS ARE ONCE AGAIN BITCHING ABOUT HIGH GASOLINE PRICES AND ARE LOOKING TO RAISE IT EVEN MORE!!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25751775/
The liberals are saying NO to new oil supplies, new refining, new solar, new wind, new nuclear, new coal, new hydro etc. etc.
What is left? A fantasy power source that is 100% clean and 100% renewable! They want the energy companies (big oil) to research for this “turn lead into gold” technology. - THAT IS WHAT THEY SAY YES TO!
The new tone has done nothing but give liberals chances to F*CK us over into the new century. They spread the word “bipartisanship” around constantly. But to them, bipartisanship means when the right is in charge, they do what we want, anything else is unacceptable.
