Bush raises money for Kansas senator

By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer Fri Jun 15, 4:59 PM ET

WICHITA, Kan. - President Bush's job approval rating is at an all-time low, yet supporters are still willing to shell out $4,600 to get a photo with him.

Bush posed for pictures Friday at a $500-a-person fundraiser for Sen. Pat Roberts (news, bio, voting record), R-Kan. The photos cost extra. The event, closed to the press, was held at the home of Dave Murfin, president of Murfin Drilling Co., and his wife Janet.

Only 32 percent of Americans say they approve of how Bush is handling his job, according to the most recent AP-Ipsos poll. That's the same low point the poll recorded in January, and a drop of 3 percentage points since May.

Friday's event drew more than 550 attendees and raised more than $650,000 for Roberts with a small percentage of the proceeds going to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Bush still wins approval from seven in 10 Republicans, though that is near his historic low for GOP support of 67 percent in January. His slumping popularity is not helping Republican presidential and congressional candidates who face voters next year.

3. Hey, they know who'll give them the tax cuts

they need to buy as many yachts and mansions as their little hearts desire. When the country implodes, they can just move to Monaco and sip Daiquiris on the beach all day while collecting their dividends. They're not so stupid, just extremely greedy and self-centered.

4. Yep, probably don't even care about their own kids

who won't be able to escape the effects of global warming on the beaches of Monaco.
