And everyone thought it had bottomed out!

Well, at least Bush now has a legitimate claim to a legacy that no other president can make. Isn't that what he always wanted?

EDIT: I couldn't fit all of my headline. It's the lowest approval rating of any president since recorded polling, lower even than Nixon's during Watergate.

I just saw the news as well. It's mind-boggling. 19%?! Really?

Any one of us could manage at least a 1-out-of-5 approval rating. Bush can't even get that?

The more people get to see of Obama and the other candidates, the more they get to realize hows AWFUL a leader they have right now is, and how much better America can do

That's insane.

I can't believe it!

19% of the people still approve of him???

What has he got to do to lose them, kill somebody?

It's the right wing neo-cons that still support him.

I support him.

Do you have a reason? Or is this just blind loyalty to your party?

Well... if you paid attention, you would know that I'm probably voting for Obama...

So... Cross off #2.

I think he has done a lot of great things for our economy. Probably shouldn't be allowed to talk to other countries anymore... but... yeah.

Good.

It makes me happy that he will be remembered as one of the worst presidents of all time.

Isn't that prediction pretty early? Harry Truman was disliked and history has been pretty kind to him.

I still support Bush out of blind party loyalty.

I'm reminded of a quote Al Franken once said about the difference between Democrats and Republicans...

Democrats love America like an adult loves their spouse. You have your disagreements, things you wish were better, but you value the relationship and want both of you to improve as people.

Republicans love America like a toddler loves their mother. Mommy is perfect and everything she does is wonderful, and if you say otherwise you’re lying and a very bad man.

And the same goes for the love they have for their party!

Al Franken is obviously an idiot.

I think that's only true when there's a Republican president. They weren't so fond of American policies during the Clinton administration. So I'd argue that their party loyalty trumps love of America.

But this is the first time Obama's stupid as hell wife is proud of her country. That's the dumbest, arrogant, and ignorant statement in a long while. Obama only cares about Obama and how much power he can get.

Democrats were gaga over Clinton, but hate Bush.

Smells like major party loyalty to me!

Clinton was a pretty good president and Bush is an incompetent retard. That's a judgment based on merit if ever there was one.

Clinton didn't enough to prevent 9/11. He knew about things way before it happened.

Last I checked, retards don't become president.

Unless, of course, they run against even BIGGER retards. Which... if you are to be correct, then the Democratic parties are the retards in this situation for nominating even bigger retards.

So... pick your poison.

That's nonsense.

About as nonsensical as the economic recession is Bush's fault.

Then check harder because we have a retarded president.



This is what we in the real world call a false dichotomy. Bush can be a retard (which he is) and win an election even if he is running against someone who isn't retarded (which he did). What has to happen is that the people voting for him don't care that he is a retard or don't know that he is a retard; and his opponent has to run a terrible campaign (which is true for both Kerry and Gore).

SInce you credit him with the economy when it's doing well, doesn't it make sense to blame him when things go wrong?

Oh, that's right. Making sense isn't really your thing, is it.

Well... if a retard can run a better campaign than Gore AND Kerry... they must both be even MORE retarded.

Seems you have a conundrum!
