Comments on: Poll: Bush Approval Rating At New Low

On Eve Of State Of Union, President's Approval Rating Falls To 28%, A New Low

[pakaal]

28%! We're in Nixon approval ratings territory now. The good news is that given a certain margin for error, we can safely say that everyone with eyes in their head and a basic understanding of job effectiveness now understand Bush isn't qualified to do his job.

The bad news is that Bush doesn't care.

Pretty wild, huh? No one will dare impeach this fool because then Satan would become president. Pretty sneaky, for sure Shrub didn't come up with the idea.

The poll I would like to see is what percentage of Americans wish he would resign. Oh, but then Cheney would become president. Nevermind.

What we really need is for all the cameras to be turned off, the microphones crushed. Then madmen like Bush/Cheney would be free to commit all their crimes in secret. God they could certainly get a lot more done then. They could bump off every man, woman and child in any given country and no one would know. NO BODY COUNT too, that's very important. We do not have an executive branch, we have organized crime!! God!! How can some of you people be so dumb that you can't see that??

Bush should have resigned long ago. He has been telling us to be patient since 2001. We have not had one single victory in this mess. Worst president I have ever seen.

Poor ol Georgie he takes all the heat for the real head of state Cheney and his corporate backing. I'm wondering when good ol Georgie ( you can't help but like him) is going to realize, hey to hell with you Cheney, I'm going to do my thing. But good ol Georgie he does nothing but listen to his VP, with no thoughts of his own. Now look at him, he'll go down as the guy who started his own war, killed 750,000 plus irag's, and 3,000 US soldiers plus 20,000 with their legs shot off. He gets all the blame and Cheney ( vote republican or the terriost"s will get you ) will stand to one side and let Georgie take all the heat.

The National Intelligence Estimate that was originally delayed to be released this month has been further delayed. The resources necessary to produce it were diverted to plan the shrub surge. Wouldn't it make more sense to get the intelligence report first and then design the policy based upon the situation the policy is supposed to address? Implementing new policy before the getting the intelligence is an example of bush's bass ackwards reasoning. Acting first and then finding out the situation you are acting on doesn't make sense in the real world.

Maybe doing it backwards is necessary because our actions aren%u2019t based upon reality but upon the perceived reality of the neocon philosophy. The last NIE showed that the Iraq war had made the US less safe. It was responsible for a significant increase in the number of anti-American terrorists worldwide. Israeli intelligence say the number of terrorist has increased to five times the number when the war started. The individual pieces of information that are put together to form the NIE are already available to the administration. It is likely that the new NIE will point out problems the war has created or worsened and would lead to the conclusion that the surge bush wanted would be counterproductive. It is certain that if the information would make the administration look good, they would have found enough time to put the report together.

Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along a country
road one evening when an ancient cow loomed in front of the car. The
drivertried to avoid it but couldn't -- the aged bovine was struck
and killed.

Hillary told her driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain
to the owners what had happened. She stayed in the car making phone
calls to lobbyists.

About an hour later the driver staggered back to the car with
his clothes in disarray. He was holding a half-empty bottle of
expensive wine in one hand, a rare, huge Cuban cigar in the other,
and was smiling happily, smeared with lipstick.

"What happened to you," asked Hillary?

"Well," the driver replied, "the farmer gave me the cigar, his
wife gave me the wine, and their beautiful twin daughters made mad
passionate love to me!"

"My God, what did you tell them?" asked Hillary.

The driver replied, "I just stepped inside the door and said,
I'm Hillary Clinton's driver and I've just killed the old cow. The
rest happened so fast I couldn't stop it.
