Amazing, beating Truman's 22% pathetic approval rating during the worst of the Korean War... Bush is the first president to have an approval rating drop into the teens! Worse even than Nixon during the Watergate scandal! Wow!
And just why is that?
FISA - illegal wiretapping - Homeland Security/Secret Police?
Debt, Deficit, Sub-prime mortgages, oil prices, healthcare?
Global warming denial, mis-use of the scientific community, relaxed EPA regulations?
Signing statements, recess appointments, nepotism, lame SCOTUS appointees?
Blaming Iraq for 911, ignoring Bin Laden, botching the Iraq occupation, Walter Reed?
Gitmo, Waterboarding, rendition, enemy combatants?
Links to corruption, scandal, enron, Tom Delay, Duke Cunningham, cronyism?
Threatening Iran, mis-use of the intelligence community, Valerie Plame?
Scape-goatism, Loyalty-first, some how mysteriously silencing the democratic voices?
Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rove, Paul Wolfowitz, hanging Colin Powell out to dry
FEMA?
I went looking for a list of scandals directly associated with or aided by the Bush Administration and found a list with 313 items, most of which I recognized.
Can anyone find a list of 313 good things that have come from this presidency? I liked the "Do Not Call" list... um... what else...
How quickly we forget unforgivable scandals, especially when we are given new atrocities to be outraged with each week that goes by. If it weren't for the smallish number of "My country right or wrong" right-wing loyalists and profiteers benefiting from cronyism, Bush's approval rating would likely be sitting at zero percent.
Whoever gets elected next has a phenomenal mess to clean up.
