Sinking Bush (Conservative John Leboutillier)

[struggle4progress]

All the polls now paint a similar picture: a deteriorating situation in Iraq, a ‘souring' of opinion about the economy, rising gas prices - and a 2-1 view that the country is on the ‘wrong track' - have all contributed to G.W. Bush's lowest approval ratings of his presidency.
<snip>
It is a general rule of politics that the incumbent's approval rating at the beginning of the year - or certainly six months before an election - is a pretty good predictor of his/her Election Day tally.
<snip>
Conclusion: President Bush and his White House have totally lost control of the agenda. They control almost nothing that is happening; thus they are forced to react to events as they unfold.
<snip>
So Bush has made his bed. Now he has to sleep in it - and hope that Iraq and the economy change for the better in the next few months.

Republicans seem to be abandoning "The Emperor Can Do No Wrong" as a slogan. Are they planning to throw Bush overboard in an effort to maintain control of the House? :freak:

1. Leboutillier is directly bookmarked in my browser

So I don't have to slog through the other rubbish at NewsMax.com to get there, and so if they have a page-view counter, I minimize my contribution to it.

But he's worth reading. He's screwball righty mysteriously gifted with a notable degree of intellectual honesty.

2. no more "Popular Wartime President"?

I haven't heard that one for the past few weeks.
Can the droids at FuxNews even say that with a straight face anymore?
