AP has Bush's Obit Up

or at least the political equivalent of an obituary. These things are usually a bad sign for the person featured.

Newsview: Like Father, Like Son for Bushes

October 22, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Throughout his first term, President Bush struggled to avoid repeating his father's mistakes. Yet less than a year after he claimed the re-election mandate denied his dad, he is confronting some of the same problems that bedeviled the first Bush presidency.

Like father, like son:

* Conservatives are rebelling.

* His poll numbers are in the basement.

* Economic unrest is growing.

* Top White House staffers are under fire.

2. What's truly pathetic about these incompetents . . .

is that when a dem is elected in 2008 and turns things around and cleans up the messes, the RW will claim that they laid the groundwork and that the dems are simply reaping what the RW sowed.

Boy does that get old. When will the American people learn?

4. The only mandate that Bush has ever had

was with Jeff Gannon but that was only when Karl was willing to share.

7. The problem with this is that it wasn't written two years ago.
