Like so many people, the first thing I think of when I think about George W Bush are these words, said with a stop after each for emphasis: "Worst. President. Ever." But don't just take my three words for it, according to CNN he has polled with more than a 70% disapproval rating three times in a row:
"No other president's disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year," Holland said. "That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66 percent disapproval rating."And I'm not the only one that feels the Republicans have screwed this country worse than an elephant on a chihuahua:
Only 16 percent of those questioned in a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday say things are going well in the country today. That's an all-time low. Eighty-three percent say things are going badly, which is an all-time high.
"The challenge Obama faces has never been greater. No president has ever come to office during a time when the public's mood has been this low. In the 34 years that this question has been asked, the number who say things are going well has never fallen below 20 percent," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.
The 83 percent saying things are going badly is "more than in 1992, when the first President Bush was ousted because of 'the economy, stupid.' That's more than in 1980, when President Carter got fired after the malaise crisis. That's more than in 1975, after Watergate and the Nixon pardon," said Bill Schneider, CNN senior political analyst.
I've even seen one of those obnoxious "Support President Bush and Our Troops" stickers with the word "Bush" cut out of it. Even the drooling rednecks around here are ashamed of this cowboy.
Let's see if we can get Bush and Cheney out of office without them pardoning each other.
