George Truman Bush

A new CNN poll ranks President George W. Bush the most unpopular president in modern American history. The key figure is not Bush�s 28 percent approval rating, which, though dismal, is not as poor as all-time lows set by Harry S Truman (22 percent) and Richard Nixon (24 percent), but his disapproval rating, which has soared to 71 percent. No president had ever cracked the 70-percent ceiling. The previous record in CNN or Gallup polling was set by Truman, who reached 67 percent disapproval in January 1952.

Oddly, Bush�s decline is tied (in part) to declining support for the Iraq situation, which has actually turned around and gone comparatively well for almost a year now, as opposed to the mess through 2005 and 2006.

George W. Bush has reconciled himself to the reality that he will leave the White House an unpopular president. Call me sentimental, but I find something admirable, even moving, about the man�s stoic ability to do what he feels is right and to put country, and even the world, above himself. The most unpopular president in modern history?�so be it. He quietly, humbly does nothing to toot his own horn, with no concern for legacy and no team of handlers trying to make him look good.

Like the man from Independence, Missouri, the man from Midland, Texas will be content with no ticker-tape parade, and (likely) with never living to see the fruits of his labor.

What a bunch of bullshit!

we will make sure of it. The atrocities of his war have yet to reach the American public, but it will. It will be his legacy.

I heard one idiot stroking him on TV this past weekend saying how Bush was responsible for bringing down gas prices to help Americans during these tough economic times and we should all be thankful.

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

I wish I could remember who the idiot was but I always tune those freeps out or turn the channel. I'm sure it's being repeated on every freep message board this week though.

this clown is saying Bu$h is admirable for believing his own horse shit. how does an idiot like this ever sell an article? no, don't answer.
