Which is worse, 24% or 11%?

by Ryan Miller

President Bush feels the rumble…Wednesday in a press conference he discussed Russian President Vladamir Putin’s new friendship with Iran. President Bush went onto say that Iran would be raising the risks of “World War II.” Wait…isn’t that what I said on Tuesday??

According to the most recent Zogby Poll, President Bush’s approval rating is at an all time low, a sickening 24%. The talk of invading Iran while our troops are stuck in quagmires all over Iraq may have something to do with this number! Not to mention that fact that there are countless presidential candidates talking about how they would make the country better. When this is going on it seems to discredit the current president, even though he did the same thing when he was campaigning.

W. is not alone, in the same Zogby Poll the approval rating of Congress is at an all time low of 11%! Eleven percent? Yea, I had to spell it out. That is just stupid! Congressional approval ratings have been low since the beginning of polling, but eleven percent?

If we as voters do not trust the people we elect then why do we ALWAYS elect the same type of candidates?

Go look up the definition of insanity…exactly.

    This Congress has not done what the American people elected them to do, namely, force the President to bring home the troops from Iraq. On top of that, they let Bush slide on other majority supported issues, such as the SCHIP bill. What is there to approve of? And how much lower can the President sink in the polls? He is as popular as the disgraced Nixon, and that makes sense as his administration is just as corrupt.

  2. Todd Says:

    Yep, like I also said on Wednesday, “it could turn into WWIII if Iran follows through with it’s threat to wipe Israel off the map”

    I’ve heard a few reports that suggest that things may be turning around in Iraq. If this is ever reported by the mainstream liberal media then we might just see Dubbya’s stats rise for a change. I hope so because we need all the help we can get to make sure that the Pantsuit Socialist doesn’t make it to the oval office.

    As far as Congress goes, there low approval rating is no surprise. They can’t even please the democrats beloved own Cindy Sheehan who’s son volunteered and sadly died in service of our country…

    Actually that’s not true. The politicians there are still at odds. The whole point of the surge was to give the politicians cover so that they could work out their differences. This has’nt happened, therefore the surge is a failure.
