well you all know that i haven't been in the bush camp for a while so i understandably took great pleasure in the stat that his job rating has slipped even further than the last time i checked it. the terrorist attacks in london did nothing for him and in fact might have hurt his terrorism standings as there are more and more attacks in the old world and iraq. i expected him to gain a little ground after london because a lot of people find that he's reassuringly "tough on terror." granted this is a foolish view since he's failing at a war against an idea. gee, couldn't have told you you couldn't kill ideas...
point is he's down to a 44% approval rating.
Why? because he's not percieved as honest by most voters. and why is that? because they lied about Rove's involvement with the case of Valerie Plame! you'd think that after all this preaching of their religious values they'd know that one of the commandments was "thou shalt not kill," that another was "love thy neighbor as thyself." and what have they done to everyone? well we'll say that they have failed both commandments. ironically that's one of the best grades that bush has ever gotten. i mean, 8 of 10...not bad...that's good enough for an ivy league school...
