My favorite Bush...the President, that is

I try to read Yahoo News everyday, and there was a poll they showed in an article that was very enlightening. It's a Pew Poll, 1500 people surveyed and came up with the following results on Bush's second-term approval:

• 38 percent of Americans approve of how Bush is handling his job, down from 50 percent at his inauguration in January;
• -29 percent are satisfied with the way things are going in the country, down from 40 percent in January;
• -Americans believe it was wrong to invade Iraq by a margin of 50 percent to 44 percent, a reverse from the January margin of 51-44 that thought it was the right decision.

• "The public is also skeptical about whether Bush had made most things better or worse. By a margin of 66-6, they think he's made the federal budget deficit worse. By 40-12, they think he made Social Security worse. By 57-19, they think he's made the economy worse. By 35-25, they think he's weakened morality in the country."

It goes on to suggest that the reason for this steep decline is a combination of his administration's failures in Iraq, with Social Security reform, FEMA's Katrina Failure,and with his nomination of Harriet Miers. That's one way to look at it. But I like to look at the big picture here, which I think people are finally starting to do as well.

BUSH IS AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to brilliant strategists and their ability to minimize his flaws during presidential campaigning, SOME people got tricked into believing he could handle running a country. 9/11 fell into his lap, and he reacted in the same way any other president would have, which gave him a huge bump in popularity and approval. But now, all his failures are piling up and people are realizing that they are all his fault. And his strategists can't redirect all the blame. Especially when his right-hand men like Karl Rove and Senator Tom Delay are under investigation themselves, it only amplifies all the mistakes he makes. People have finally realized that he is way over his head, and the brilliant people around him that helped make him look like a decent president *cough*Colin Powell *cough* jumped off that sinking ship already.

Here's a Thought...When 2008 rolls around, we elect an intelligent, experienced leader who doesn't come from a corporate background. The founding fathers of this nation were the most intelligent, bold generation that America has perhaps ever seen. Now the country is run by a C+ student with a silver spoon in his mouth, and cronies and yes-men surrounding him, telling him he's brilliant *cough*Harriet Miers*cough*. Does anyone see the correlation between our lower presidential standards and the decline of our society? Democrat, Republican, it's all irrelevant. Don't vote for whatever crony your party throws at you during the 2008 campaign, vote for the guy you think shares those qualities that made presidents like Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln some of the greatest leaders in our nation's history.

Perhaps the best mold we could fashion our next president would be made from would be Gerald Ford. He was thrust into a bad situation by his predecessor, but did all he could to make the best of it. Short of some miracle over the next 2 years, our next president will have a lot of problems to solve. Social Security, to which I've been paying for 5 years, won't even exist when I am able to claim it. The "War" in Iraq is still raging, with American soldiers being killed there daily and no date for withdrawal in sight. Cronyism and corruption are tearing apart our precious democracy from the inside, oil prices are climbing at an alarming rate, and that Osama Bin Ladin guy is still supposedly on the loose somewhere. And then, as my best friend put it, our Atlantis, New Orleans, is still a wreck and millions of people have had their lives destroyed by the incompetence of the current administration and their lack of delegation skills.

Here's another Thought...If Bill Clinton can be impeached because he received oral sex in the White House and lied about it, then why can't the entire current administration be impeached for destroying the very fabric that holds our society together? Our systems are falling apart, americans are being killed overseas in a war we didn't want, and thousands died when the idiot Bush put in charge of FEMA couldn't do his job. If that isn't Treason, I don't know what is.
