Is it just me, or is he having this press conference since he has
went down into the 40's for his approval rating?

Do you think we will get an upgrade in our warnings yet? Do you think after this speech, he will go up in the polls?

1. He sounds like he's arguing with himself.
He's sounding very defensive.

3. What's the lowest rating any president ever had in recent times?
Does anyone remember?
I'm sure Carter's were very low and I don't know if they even had these polls when Hoover was president.

5. I think Nixon's got into the 20s
Carter and Poppy were in the 30s at some point, I believe.

9. They usually do in their second term. However, his spokesman . . .
is saying the reason is because Bush is focusing on Social issues and most people do not want to have to deal with difficult decisions.

I do not think it is a difficult decision. He leaves SSR alone, keep going to his ranch in Texas every weekend (using our tax money), try to keep his mouth shut, and fade away.

That was easy.

4. He's just upping the "terror" quota for today. Be afraid,
terrorists continue to want to hurt us. Well, duh...wonder why that is? Maybe because we have killed 100,000 citizens, tortured Iraqis, trashed a country and they don't like us? Fancy that.

Chimpy gave the obligatory 3 second sound bite on Mrs. Schiavo and then quickly moved on to trying to scare the hell out of people so no questions can be asked.

Anybody seen the commission report? Must be pretty bad for him to have to come out and remind everyone what crappy job he is doing keeping everyone safe. Gosh, I hate these bastards.
