NO Respect! I Love It

[Son Of Spy]

The ‘Lame Duck’ Label
With a series of media events, President Bush is working hard to avoid the negative tag as he enters the last two years of his presidency.

<snip>
But on Tuesday, the surprise was on Bush. In town to deliver remarks on the economy, the president walked into the diner, where he was greeted with what can only be described as a sedate reception. No one rushed to shake his hand. There were no audible gasps or yelps of excitement that usually accompany visits like this. Last summer, a woman nearly fainted when Bush made an unscheduled visit for some donut holes at the legendary Lou Mitchell’s Restaurant in Chicago. In Peoria this week, many patrons found their pancakes more interesting. Except for the click of news cameras and the clang of a dish from the kitchen, the quiet was deafening.<snip>

6. He can fix this

Admit invading Iraq was a mistake, throw the corporations out of there, call on all ME nations to work together to stabilize that country, pull the troops out, demand Cheney's resignation and replace him with Al Gore with fast-track Senate approval and then resign. It's not like he has no options.

11. looky here---even Fox avoided his latest speech!

On Wednesday, Bush went to Wall Street to deliver remarks on the economy. CNN and MSNBC carried portions of the speech live, but Fox News Channel, a network that has been viewed as sympathetic to this White House, did not, opting instead to air reports on immigration and the 2008 presidential race. At least Bush got a raucous reception from traders (typically a GOP-friendly crowd) when he paid a surprise visit to the New York Stock Exchange trading floor.
