Bush Approval Drops Amid Souring Economic Views

President George W. Bush's approval rating has dropped sharply, and
is
now at 45%, according to the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll. This
is
the lowest such rating (by one point) that Bush has received since
taking office, and seven points lower than the rating he received in
Gallup's three previous surveys. The poll also shows an increasingly
negative public mood about the country's direction and more
specifically
about the economy. Rising oil and gas prices appear to be a major
factor
in the lower economic ratings.

You can't fool all the people all the time, eh?

People are FINALLY using their brains instead of their political bent,
and seeing Bush for what he really is, a lying, manipulative, egotist
who only cares about the bottom line of the big industries that he's in
bed with.

It's such a shame Kerry didn't win. We could have had:

Taxes to go up *only* for those making over $200,000,
The 'No Child Left Behind Act' to be fully funded,
The Iraq Coalition to become much larger very soon, especially with
all the French and German troops that will join,
Everyone able to have the same medical care afforded members of
Congress,
Cheap prescription drugs,
All children going to college,
An immediate end to the nuclear weapons aims of North Korea and Iran,
America to soon be the beloved nation of the entire world,
A tremendous decrease in unemployment,
A huge increase in high-paying jobs,
A resurgence of manufacturing jobs,
A tremendous decrease in outsourcing, with jobs returning to the US,
An energy independent America, with no reliance on Mideast oil,
A modernized military, able to meet all threats,
The failure of terrorist organizations to breed new generations,
A 50% reduction in the deficit,
Enforcement of all of our trade laws, with a complete review in 120
days,
An increase in the minimum wage to $7.00,
The creation of10 million new jobs in his first term,
Changes in credit laws to prevent very high interest rates,
The savings of billions of dollars in medical overhead costs,
The inspection of the 95% of containers entering the country not
currently inspected,
More secure borders,
The hardening of nuclear plants, airports, trains and subways against
attack,
Improvement of our intelligence gathering, analysis and sharing to
stop terrorists before they can do harm,
A tougher, smarter, more effective war on terror,
The securing of nuclear materials worldwide,
A speed-up in drug and vaccine development,
and,
did I mention he will raise taxes only on those making $200,000 or
more?

It's a damn shame!
