NO.... Funny is that I read CNN's crapola everyday and when his numbers were high I don't recall seeing an article about it.

It would be highly unusual for a wartime President to NOT get big approval ratings. I'd be more interested in WHY people approve or disapprove of him. Just because someone disapproves doesn't mean they're going to run out and vote for Howard Dean. I'm curious how many are like me and think Bush is being a pantywaist about this whole thing.

No, I just had lunch and don't want to lose it.

FWIW, I'm not much of a Bush fan (he's too liberal) but he was a better choice than Egore. And if I have to, I'll vote for him again.

Maybe he has been a bit of a fairy... but I must give him credit for blowing the heck outta some of those sand bowls in the first place.

I'm not sweating it... He'll be blowing up something else before ya know it.

Actually, if you look it up, many of the things on the bush resume are true. They just worded the statements in a way to make it sound bad... Take the executions for example. I think over 100 were executed under bush's rule, but this doesn't tell me anything about Bush, just tells me there are (were) a lot of thugs in texas.

And who cares if he has the richest admininstation... Jealous??

And the vacation days? He was always in contact with his peeps in washington. Not like he spent all the time on a deserted island sipping drinks with little plastic trees in them.

The Bin Laden quote is true. But he did say later he didn't know where we he was and he didn't care

What it tells me is that Bush was one of the few Governors who was willing to do something about crime. I guess it depends on your perspective. The Libs see that as a bad thing - I don't.

What I think is funny is that the Lefties, on one hand, say what an idiot Bush is and how he's so stupid he can't even speak the English language. Then, on the other hand, they think he's this brilliant mastermind who can make 50 states go simultaneously bankrupt.

I don't think an abundance of intelligence could make something like that happen...
In my field (software), we would say he knows just enough to be dangerous

First of all, he'd have to thwart 50 Governors, 100 Senators and who knows how many Representatives. THEN he'd have to fool Congress as well. Do you think it's easy to bankrupt 50 states?

And it's my understanding that not all 50 states are in financial trouble. It's just certain ones. I'll let you run them down yourself so you can see what their common denominator is and exactly how they got so far in debt.
