Bush is an Idiot, and Other Obvious Observations
From the Washington Post-ABC News poll -- Jan. 23-26, 2006
Percentage of those who disapprove of the way Bush has handled:
Iraq - 60%, federal budget deficit - 64%, ethics in government 56%, prescription drugs 51%, economy 52%, health care 60%, taxes 52%. The one issue he scored a majority of approval on was US campaign against terrorism (52% approved; 45% disapproved, 2% were watching tv).
52% approve of his campaign against terrorism? The same campaign that brought us the war in iraq that 60% disapprove of and helped the deficit that 64% disapprove of. We need to start connecting the dots here people!
But in spite of this, he still scores as a strong leader (52% vs. 48 who think he's a moron). Then again only 46% think he's honest and trustworth, vs. 53% who are right. My favorite is the old "he understands the problems of people like you" - 61% think, what, are you NUTS, he doesn't have a clue. And 38% apparently are the wealthy children of ex-presidents and friends of big oil interests.

LOL, I couldn't have said it better myself.
Bush is an idiot, Alito's a nightmare, and the state of the Union is FUBAR. Where're WE DA PEOPLE?? asleep on the couch. Thanks, La Popessa, for visitin' my blog...
actually, gwb reminds me of kaiser wilhelm. he seized the ship of state, and while he didn't know where he was going, he was GOING TO GO THERE. and there's a lot of similarities after that...at the beginning of his term, germany was strong, with a great alliance system. in l9l4, it had only the ramshackle austria-hungary as an ally, a bigger liability than friend, and germany was widely despised and feared. and then he gave the BLANK CHECK that led to the WORLD WAR(we can hope gwb won't manage that) both were morbidly defensive and insecure, both saw enemies everywhere and determined to punish them, whatever it cost. at least the kaiser briefly had queen victoria to rein him him. the queen opined at one point that what wilhelm needed was a "good spanking." all bar bush does is smile and validate the offspring...even if he doesn't speak to his father anymore, after some implied criticism.
can you say "sturm und drang," boys and girls?
