I imagine that Bush supporters might be a little dismayed at the polls that came out over the weekend showing that his approval rating had dropped from 90% four years ago to a new low of 38%. But that's the price you pay for dishonesty and incompetence. And as bad as that seems, it could get a lot worse very soon. He is promising to veto the stem cell bill that is supported by 65% of the public, including millions of Republicans. The constitution in Iraq is on very shaky ground and civil war looks like a very real possibility. It's just a matter of time before the death toll of our soldiers reaches the 2000 mark. Throw in the fact that the investigation into the leak of the CIA operative is coming to a conclusion and some very high ranking administration officials such as Karl Rove and Scooter Libbey could be arrested and indicted. Bush would pardon them of course, but would pay a heavy political price for doing so.
None of this comes as a surprise to us who were able to see through Bush from day one. He was obviously unqualified for the job. He dodged the draft, drank like a fish, got arrested for DWI (you can only guess how many other times he got pulled over but was let go because of his family connections), failed in multiple business ventures (certainly not because he was under-capitalized) and reportedly used drugs like a crack whore. He never even really ran for president. He was selected by the GOP power brokers who knew that he had good name recognition and would be easily manipulated. He has single handedly torn this country apart. He has no understanding of science, economics or the world outside of Texas. He's proud of the fact that he doesn't read. Unlike Clinton, who grew up in a trailer park and had to pull himself up by his bootstraps, W had everything handed to him and has no idea what the world is like for most Americans. He is a religious fanatic who claims that "God speaks through me." A famous psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas Szazz says that when you talk to God, it is praying- but when God talks to you, it is a symptom of mental illness.
I am far from being a "liberal" and have tremendous respect for Bush's father, John McCain, Rudi Gulianni and lots of other republicans. I would vote for any of them in a heartbeat over Hillary. But it is just completely obvious that W is in so far over his head, that it's scary.
I know that a lot of people from other countries read and post here and many feel that America is getting exactly what it deserves.
