Laura Bush doesn't believe bad polls on husband

11 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First lady Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing her husband's approval ratings at record low levels.

Interviewed on Fox News Sunday, Laura Bush said she did not think people were losing confidence in President George W. Bush, despite a series of polls showing support for him at its lowest point in his five-year presidency and among the lowest for any president in the past 50 years.

"I don't really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me," she said.

"As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, 'Stay the course'."

Pickles is delusional.

... and ROFLMAO

Wonder if she will share?

Reality is just a matter of belief for these people.

:eyes:

Otherwise his drop would look too drastic. They've been padding him for years, why would they stop now?

Edit: not to defend Laura Bush, but did she say how she didn't believe them? Perhaps she thinks they are too high also. She does know him better than anybody else would ever want to.

Agreed -- the polls are being padded for dimbulb.
I'm sure Pickles must also agree.

:)

In denial, too, I'd say. And also, don't forget, HER polls ARE higher than his. People will behave around the pretty lady with the nice surface demeanor.

I'm sure they don't let her anywhere near Cindy Sheehan or any of the other mothers who've lost sons (and daughters), I'm sure she doesn't have to bother her own beautiful mind about the Code Pink people, or the MFSO people, or the Mainstreet Moms, or any others. They'll send her around Dumbfuckistan and Jeeezusland and let her chirp and it makes for some nice photo ops. Nothing of substance. Just like herself.

so it is no wonder she thinks we love Bush.

Let her come to NY and walk with him down 6th Avenue, or even up here in upstate NY, and she would see what people think of him!

She doesn't get it that she is only exposed to the hand selected. What a twit.

...apparently it's venereal.

She really does live inside the White House bubble, doesn't she?

And she's too stupid to know that when he speaks, her husband's audiences have been pre-selected for him.

:evilgrin:

"I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband."
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yes she meets them-- the whole handpicked, fully vetted, background-checked, homogeneous, dittoheaded, ideologically purified lot of them.

I might tell Frau Pickles something that hasn't been vetted.

Delusional.

Because when Pickles travels the country, the only people she talks to are handpicked and screened Repuke campaign contributers and other Kool-aid drinkers. She is extrememely sheltered and segregated from average Americans, so how is she supposed to know how we feel?

First lady or no, she's a moran.

:eyes:

"...your husband is a good puppy. Give 'im a biscuit for me."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

point. But, 100's OF POLLS????? Don't be ignorant lady.

we know you know or else you would let everybody attend

Not unlike the people your hubby's cronies flew in for the Saddam statue toppling. Don't believe your own PR!
Also, dear < FEARLESS LEADER - LOVED BY ALL - was shoved on page one over and over! It's why I stii can't look at newspapers.

i got to see her say that to some fox interviewer who hit her with a couple of suprisingly hardball questions too. no followup of course, but it was funny to see her reaction. i swear she's some sort of stepford first lady. she has a total of three, maybe four, expressions; 'happy', 'pissed off', 'suprised', and 'blank' (probably the default setting).

has a bad year. umm...Laura--have you ever thought the country had a bad year cause of BushCo???



.In a separate interview on ABC's "This Week," Laura Bush said her husband's popularity was suffering because the country had been through a difficult year.

We've had a very, very difficult year, starting with the hurricane last September, but already because of the terrorist attack in 2001 and then the war on terror since then," she said. "He's the one that has to make the hard decisions. And, of course, they don't please everyone."

Mrs. Bush complained that when her husband's popularity was high, newspapers did not put that on the front page. Now it was low, they took great delight in highlighting the fact.

Asked if she thought the media had been unfair, Mrs. Bush said: "No, I don't think it's necessarily unfair. I think it's just, you know, I think they may be enjoying this a little bit."

I noticed less hugging talk laterly, BTW

and shouldn't pickles know better?

I think she was correct in using "that" when referring to it.

it might just improve my prespective on things.

:sarcasm:

and just feel the warmth.

.... please phone home, and make arraignments for the mother ship to beam you up; because you are wrong girl.

The true will find you eventually, and it won't be a pleasant experience. ;-)

everything about how our country feels about her doofus husband. That's a good one. :)

..first thing that came to my mind too. Poor Laura.

her and The Chimp weren't so insulated. Maybe if she really actually met with somebody who wasn't a Bushbot she'd get it. I like how she acted as if the media was having fun at her husband's expense, as if they have been after him like madmen for years now, doggedly pursuing his every move. Psh... what a joke.

for a dimestore mannequin. Especially when you consider the high levels of Zoloft she must have pumping through that wooden melon of hers.

I mean look at who she's married to. However, the Stepford thing has been old for a while now. Any reasonably self-respecting woman would not have married a guy like that. No way.

:puke:

This is the Rove House trying to "disinform" the sheep.

They're good at that, but they're not good enough to beat these numbers.

or at least separated by demonstraton cages or retstraints from opposition...she CAN "see" only support for her husband. That and any meds that keep her happy and distanced from reality.

:beer:

or in the home of an elderly person who can neither figure out nor afford Medicare Part D, or in an unemployment line, or in a classroom in a school where budgets have been cut to the bone and a teacher is fighting an uphill battle not to leave the students behind, or in a grocery store where people trying to feed their families face sticker shock every day, or in the home of an uninsured worker who just received a cancer diagnosis, or in the home of a family facing foreclosure because they were living paycheck to paycheck and one of those paychecks has just been outsourced to a worker who'll do the job cheaper elsewhere, or on a streetcorner far from the Green Zone in Baghdad, or, as another poster suggested, just deposit her at any gas station in America.

If Pickles had to spend 10 minutes in the real world, she'd return to the WH so shellshocked she'd refill her meds and remain there blissfully zoned out until Jan. 09.

have already been to the real world ONCE when they did a photo op at Walter Reed. They left in tears vowing never to return as it was 'just too upsetting' to see all those boys and girls in pain.

GIVE ME A F*****G break you pissant marionette.....

My dad was there at the hospital that day and he said it was pathetic the way the simian spawn were carrying on and Pickles was as wooden as a person could get. She only went thru the motions of 'caring' and had no clue what to say or do when approached by an amputee or a head wounded soldier. I can't even type about the twins...god help us, I hope they don't breed. The gene pool can't get any shallower on that end.

empty shell before the 2000 selection when I read a magazine interview in which she was asked about the traffic accident in which she killed a high school friend. Her response to the interviewer was that was a difficult time in her life and that she didn't want to be reminded of it.

Imagine being responsible for someone's death and only being able to speak about it in terms of how it affected you. What about that poor kid's family? She didn't even pretend to go through the motions of caring.

Whoever set up the visit to Walter Reed probably caught hell for it later. Elite snobs like the chimp clan simply can't relate to pain and suffering. Old bat Babs summed it up when she had the audacity to tell a tv interviewer she didn't want to taint her "beautiful mind" with thoughts of wounded and dead soldiers. This as her spawn was gleefully launching shock and awe. They are one sick bunch.

I think Barbara said the same thing about George I.

before the election, she said something like Polls were not to be trusted, but her husband was or something.

as Rove gets the "Gays, Guns and God" machine going this summer to try to push the polls up.

It figures,though. No woman with brains would be married to that moron she's married to. She is as brainless as he is. Nuff said.

Behold the power of Paxil®.

No html in subject line, apparently.

*smacks forehead*

Preview...preview...preview...

So, it works.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

Delusional.

I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me," she said...

Er, Laura - those are hand-picked/screened audiences; Of course you speak with folks who support your hubby. All dissent has been screened out. The question is if you have noticed, or will notice that the size of the groups have gotten smaller and smaller - that would indicate that there is a decreasing pool of folks to choose from to include in the hand-picked/screened audiences (that, Lauara, is called an inference: smaller pool = fewer folks in general who support hubby.)

Sheez.

... faux news, yet another one-sided audience.

(and yes, great minds :thumbsup: )

You have to live in a pretty highly developed state of denial to be married to the jerk.

This made me laugh:


"I travel around the country. I see (pre-screened) people, I see their (coached) responses to my husband..."

She's another clueless dolt.

:boring:

"could someone clear those lizards out of here, yes the tall ones making drinks - well yes they look like people to you but I see what I see and I'm sure they are lizzards...THE SKULL! THE SKULL! THE SKULL BENEATH THE SKIN WITH EYES OF FIRE!"

The woman who is touted in the media for being a knowledge loving reader not only rejects polls (at least the one that don't glorify monkey boy), but feels that reality is better served by reactions of carefully screened photo-op attendees that manage to approach her? Don't cry for me, Houston Texas....

"Stay the course"? Yeah -- the Kilkenny Cats Doctrine.

people mean the kind of knowledge you get from Reader's Digest, then yes, Pickles is knowledge-loving. "Did you know that laughter is the best medicine?" and other such sophomoric crap is probably her specialty.

but neither did Marie Antoinette or Alexandra Romanova...

going, "LALALALALALALALA, i can't HEAR you!!!" she and the chimp deserve each other.

If anything ever breaks through that wall of denial, it may not be pretty.

who lies everytime she opens her mouth. What a complete disgrace to our country.

To a magical land where when you believe hard enough things magically come true!

Hrm...maybe the fanatically religious are truly in the White House. Sounds like their process of belief.

To be fair to Pickles, somebody in the White House Press Office should be protecting her from making an ass of herself like that. Statements like that only make the White House seem more out of touch with reality.

is just giving us another glimpse into their BushWorld fanatasy.

But you'd think somebody in the PR office would know that, too, and stop her from saying that crap. It just adds fuel to an already considerable fire.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

groups that are allowed to come anywhere near Your Royal Majesty?

Bite me, Pickles.

And the earth is flat.
And there is no global warming.
And we're winning the war in Iraq.
And life was grand when we had slaves.
And Barbara Bush is not a reptile.
And money is the ultimate goal.

she doesn't get what the rest of the country is all about

Believe it, Laura, or you're just as big a fool and cretin as he is!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Just the facts, m'am, just the facts.

life in the bubble!

we'll grant you that option, though your husband would deny it to us all.

(and she believes in yogurt too, I'll bet)

She knows one simply Must have some Cull-chair.

What a freaking Stepford.

they do.....

to let you know what we REALLY think of your husband.

But you keep on living in a dream world, hon.

Oh, the people who tell her to "stay the course" were, in a past life, the same people who were pundits for the Titanic...

and I doubt anyone else is allowed within 10 miles of Laura.

But, then again, if mine was half as stupid and evil as hers, he'd be my EX-husband and then I'd believe every word.

It makes everything to soooooooo pretty.

If I was in a bubble full of valium I'd think that too.

"Those numbers couldn't possibly be right! My husband is much beloved by the world."

I'm jus' sayin' .......

"Now I know there's some polls out there that say this man has a 32 percent approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in 'reality.' And 'reality' has a well known liberal bias."

because she's the queen of denial!

yeah I said it....she knows damn well the crowds are filtered for "loyalty"

Is she trying to save face or does she live in a different reality.
Never mind, I answered my own rhetoric.

suggested by rove, since Laura's numbers are much higher than w's.

She says she hears people say "Stay the course", but maybe they are really saying stuff like, "He's the worst".

This could be the first sign that the aging Pickles is developing auditory degeneration.

:rofl:
The child on her lap isn't screaming either, is it Laura?

I mean, even at the height of Watergate, he went around, he talked to people, they really liked him. The polls showing him in the 20s were just plain lies. Just PLAIN lies....

Poor Laura Bush doesn't believe in REALITY because she doesn't want to.

How sad.

Just a suggestion in her best interest, y'know... :evilgrin:

laura bush to appoint tooth fairy and easter bunny as personal advisors

Plz tell me you knew this!

This is reality calling. :patriot:

What was she supposed to say? (use your imagination).

psychotic breakdown or that she lives in an elitist bubble through which no sunshine of reality can penetrate. Smart move, makes her a sympathetic player.

She is a loyal wife standing by her man. (Although I question her sanity and judgement :-))

It has been my observation that they trot her out as a last resort, when the Bush Crime Family is sinking, for whatever reason. She is called upon to be the raft that saves all their sorry butts. She may not be universally admired as an outstanding woman, but it is safe to say she is the least hated, least divisive member of the administration's circle.

If Laura would falter, I guess they have to call on Barney to issue statements of support.

She's as out of touch with Americans as her husband.

there are very real reasons people are dissatisfied with his performance and address them. Tossing off a line like "stay the course" is disingenuous at best, but given the cherrypicked people she meets, it's no surprise that's her assessment. Like Bush, her head's in the sand and she's quite happy with that. That's disgusting.

If she had any sense of decency, she'd address the how BushCo's "hard decisions" affect everyday people. Of course, she has no idea about that.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

and Pickles is such a political whore for mediocre moral cripple husband it makes me sick!

I can't hear you.

For that matter, what the heck were/are HIS credentials?

These people are vacuous knownothing figureheads, who are no longer the least bit viable.
Pat her on the head and let her go home to Texas and chain smoke.

(I love how people who think she is SO MARVELOUS are actually SHOCKED when I tell them she is a chain smoker. As if she is sooooo perfect, I'm lying to them. That's just the whole thing in a nutshell, isn't it?)

That they find only the most devoted bush lovers (after looking far and wide for weeks), for her to be exposed to. That she doesn't see everybody, that she especially doesn't see the 69% who think he is doing a terrible job.

So, she really thought Stephen Colbert was only speaking for himself?

I hate that we spend so much of our tax money to make these people think they are royalty. And, where are those two spoiled princesses of theirs?

experience. In other words she and * are the center of the universe.

:crazy:

if they weren't screened.

yeah hand picked people and anymore they can't even keep those with invitations from telling them off. :silly:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, yeah pickles, sure they do!

BWAHAHA

HA

She doesn't seem stupid, but has anyone clued her in that they ONLY SEE HAND-PICKED AUDIENCES?? My god! How dumb is that woman?

Mrs. Bush complained that when her husband's popularity was high, newspapers did not put that on the front page. Now it was low, they took great delight in highlighting the fact.

They not only put it on the front page, they crammed it down our throats on broadcast media continuously: "This popular president..." ad nauseum .

There was never a moment when the broadcast or print media in this country FAILED to remind us that george bush was "popular."

It is, however, kind of entertaining that they carry such stories as this, where Pickles comes to terms. Her next stages are:

Anger (why is this happening to me?)
Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)
Depression (I don't care anymore)
Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)




Cher

Then they realized, finally, he was popular only with the press. The MSM were scared to death that Faux/Bushco was climbing in stats...so they became a replica. They ignored the truth and went for the ratings.

Note on Poll Results

of crapping on the American People, they continually show their disrespect to the American People.

Not paying attention to the polls, is their way of saying they are not paying attention to the American People.

lol

how can you believe a woman who has killed at least one person, who's husband is responsible for killing thousands, who supports the lies that kill. Man, this whole family Bushit is something else. They sure don't understand the concept of equality.

has to put up with dat. So I guess she should ignore the polls too.

In this neck of the woods 29% would be an upgrade for Shrub. And I'm in Egypt, theoretically one of our staunch allies in the War On Terriers, blah-blah-blah...

As I've ranted many times before, it is impossible to overstate the disgust in the Middle East for the gang of criminal kooks stinking up the White House. I talk to all sorts of Egyptians every day: military personnel, college students, peasant farmers.

They ALL hate Bush. I mean...no one even has a remotely nice word to say about him.

Unless this counts, from a military officer last week when he read about Bush's favorite presidential moment (the fish) in the Egyptian press: "Bush is somewhat retarded, isn't he?"

:rofl:

Catherine the Great said the same thing when she saw all those villages Potemkin had built in the Crimea. "I travel around the country. I see people. . . . I see their response to me," she said.
Pickles, you are such a buffoon.
