Is President Bush the worst president in history? You tell me!
|
Perhaps he’s not the worst president of all time, but according to this poll: NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted by the polling organizations of Peter Hart (D) and Bill McInturff (R). Jan. 20-22, 2008. N=approx. 500 adults nationwide. MoE ± 4.4. |

“Compared with the past several presidents, do you feel that George W. Bush will turn out to have been one of the very best, better than most, not as good as most, or definitely worse than most of them?” |

For about last six months or so his approval rating has averaged out to 33%< That is including conservative polling sources.
So what is up with this?
Forclosure rates were up 30% in ’07 over ‘08.
The US dollar is as good as a wooden nickel these days. The exchange rates are so depressing that for the first time in history, merchants in New York City have decided to start taking Euros.
U.S. merchants reported their weakest January performance in nearly four decades, extending a malaise that has deepened since the holiday shopping season.
Consumers wrestling with high gas and food prices, a slumping housing market, an escalating credit crisis and a weakening job market retrenched further, buying mostly necessities even when redeeming their holiday gift cards.
These are just examples of what is going on with the economy right now. Scared yet? You should be. Our economy effects the entire world, and if you do a search on how some of our closest friends in other countries’ economies are holding up, they are mirroring ours. Economic depression is devasting, leading to joblessness, poverty, suicides, high crime and despair.
Well what about the future of the Republican party? What would happen if the Republican pack leader McCain won the next election ? Remember that “economic stimulus” package that Bush wanted to appease the economic whiners (this includes me, though his package was like flaming dog poop on the doorstep) with?
According to this website: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/06/mccain-stimulus/
“McCain urged a vote on economic stimulus, stating that Congress needed to quickly pass legislation.
The measure, blocked by conservatives, fell just one vote short of the 60 needed to end debate. At the “last minute,” McCain decided to skip the vote, even though his plane landed in DC in time. McCain claimed that he was “too busy“:
“I haven’t had a chance to talk about it at all, have not had the opportunity to, even,” McCain said. “We’ve just been too busy, focused on other stuff. I don’t know if I’m doing that. We’ve got a couple of meetings scheduled.”
Both Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) were able to return to the Senate and vote on the bill. “
Sorry, I’m not prepared to “meet the new boss” “Same as the old boss”
I’ll be lucky to have job, food and electricity..and sorry, I don’t trust the Republican leadership when it comes to war…it might be all those lies we were told as the whole reason for the war.
Looking forward to a new era…really.
