A Final, Parting Shot

Unless he does something else pretty stupid (and hence, noteworthy), this will be my last blog on our 'friend and good ol' boy of a pal, Georgie Dubya Bushie.

In a sign that surely backs up my obvious opinion of our (thankfully) outgoing President, Newsweek magazine released its last GW Bush poll that shows he is exiting his office with the LOWEST approval rating in the history of the poll. Just 22% of Americans approve of the job he has done over his long eight-year administration.

Let me put it another way...out of every 100 Americans, 78 disapprove of Mr. Bush and the job he has done.

OUCH!!!!

When he was re-elected following his disgusting character assasination of Senator John Kerry, Mr. Bush carried 62% of the vote while only carrying a 47% approval rating. It's been all downhill ever since.

Only Richard Nixon and Harry Truman had comparable disapproval numbers at the conclusion of their presidencies.

Additionally, our very hated Vice President, DICK Cheney, is exiting his office with a mere 13% approval--and most of that is from partisan supporters! That is THE lowest Veep rating in the history of the poll.

I am not surprised by these numbers. The GW Bush Administration was perhaps the worst in the history of this country, and these polling numbers definitely support that opinion.

What was once promised by Georgie himself to be a time of the strengthening and uniting of this country by a White House that cared about us, turned out to be nothing more than lies, deceit, and campaign rhetoric that won an election (well, sort of won--I think STOLE is a better word for his "victory" in 2000) for the worst President in history.
