Are Presidents allowed to defend themself publicly or politically?

Clinton will talk policy but he never trashes anyone. He didnt trah Bush running his second term.

Obama, and Hillary trash Bush more than talk about McCain.

Bush never defends himself. Im sure he his biting his tongue for some reason.

Bush went to Israel. ( I think it was Israel) and he just made a comment that some people wanted to make an early withdrawal. Obama, and Hillary went nuts saying he was interfering in the political race.

Im just wondering is there politcal rule of the President defending himself? Or trash talking the other candidates?

You know he has to want to say something.

    There is no political rule that a President cannot defend himself. President Bush defends his policies with every press conference conducted. Also, there is no political rule for candidates trash-talking each other? It is merely a campaigning tool.
