Bush II; Day 143: Down, down, down go the approval ratings
Well, Dubya has a knack for surviving low approval ratings that would destroy other candidates/politicians, but it is certainly looking bad for him.
Is it because no one's buying his incomprehensible defense of his Social Security non-plan?
Is it because of payola scandals and other efforts to over-control the media?
Is it because the damn economy really doesn't seem to be doing very well?
Or is it because none of these things could rouse Bush from a vacation:
A memo saying Osama planned to attack in the US
The tsunami
Any serviceman's funeral
But he did rush back to sign an unconstitutional law allowing Congress to interfere in a private medical situation that a vast majority of Americans (of all political and ethical stripes) think should be left to the families and the state courts?
Hmmm. Hard to choose.
