President's approval rating Sags

http://i.cnn.net/cnn/2003/ALLPOLITIC...poll.strip.jpg

Overall, more people think he's doing a good job than not!

I'm getting tired of Liberal Media.

Well, if they called me on certain days and asked if I approved of Bush, I'd have to say No. And if they asked me how likely it was I would vote for him, I'd have to say Somewhat Likely. That doesn't mean I'm going to vote for Howard Dean or any of this current crop.

At certain times, I've thought Bush handled the Iraq thing brilliantly. Then there are those times I'd like to thunk him on the head. I think he needs to be tougher and meaner, and not so concerned about "uniting, not dividing". This recent SoU garbage is a great example - he and the team need to debunk this crap and expose it for the leftist partisan garbage it is, not try and appease.

Bush needs to get it through his head that LIBERALS DO NOT LIKE HIM. They never will, no matter what he does. So quit trying to legitimize them and make them happy.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our President:-

Past work experience:

bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

Sox.

With my father's help (and his name) was elected Governor of Texas.

Accomplishments:>

most polluted state in the Union.

I replaced Los Angeles with Houston as the most smog ridden city in
America. Cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas government to the tune of

I am the first president in US history to enter office with a criminal
record.

In my first year in office I set the all-time record for most days on
vacation by any president in US history.

After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over
the worst security failure in US history.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to
use the national reserves as past presidents have.

I cut healthcare benefits for war veterans.

I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously
take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record

for protest against any person in the history of

mankind.(http://www.hyperreal.org/~dana/marches/)

I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.

My presidency is the most secretive and un-accountable of any in US
history.

Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US
history.
(The 'poorest' multi-millionaire, Condoleeza Rice has a Chevron oil
tanker named after her).>

I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union
simultaneously go bankrupt.

I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud of any market in

default no longer abide by the Geneva Conventions.

I am the first president in US history to refuse United Nations election

I am the all-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate
campaign donations.

My biggest lifetime campaign contributor, who is also one of my best
friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in
world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).

I spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in US
history.

I am the first president in US history to unilaterally attack a sovereign
nation against the will of the United Nations and the world community.

I am the first president to run and hide when the US came under attack
(and then lied saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1)

I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.

I took the biggest world sympathy for the US after 911, and in less than
a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the
biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).

I, with a policy of 'dis-engagement', created the most hostile
Israeli-Palestine relations in at least 30 years.

I am the first US president in history to have a majority of the people
of Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and

any public investigation into the biggest security failure in the history
of the United States.

I removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other
president in US history.

In a little over two years I created the most divided country in decades,
possibly the most divided the US has ever been since the civil war.

I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less
than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down.

President Bushs' resume is long as #### . . please read the entire thing.

record has been erased and is not available).

war.

Princess, are you high? 3/4 of that stuff is either blatantly untrue or spun to within an inch of it's life. There are enough things to bash Bush over - no need to make stuff up or blow it out of proportion.

Crack kills. Just remember that.

If we wanted a saint for a president, we wouldn't vote for a politician.


As for the approval ratings... Funny... There was no mention of liberal media bias when dubya's rating was in the 70s (and even higher I believe?)

Well, thank God! I thought someone maybe spiked your coffee with hallucinogens. Thought I was going to have to send Christy and Pix on an intervention. I was scared.

*whew*
