President Bush has received his lowest start-of-the-new-year approval rating – 32 percent. That’s a point lower than last January. He started his presidency with a 55 percent rating, then climbed to 83 percent in January 2002, then dropped below 50 percent starting in January 2006. Now, the Americans who strongly disapprove of Bush’s job performance outnumber those who strongly approve of it by a 3-1 majority.

I am glad of two things- the Republicans are sticking with Bush which assures that next November they too will retire right along with him and next January the new DEMOCRAT President will have strong working majorities in the House and the Senate. Hopefully this will begin to mark the beginning of the end of the Republicans except for the southeast USA. I think that even Kansas might vote blue next time!
Any Democrat is just as useless as these Bush devils. But I suppose everyone wants to believe in fairy tales deep in their hearts.
The Bushs’ have done more to destroy this country than anyone in the history of this country. From the “October Surprise” in 1980, to Iran/Contra, to not getting Saddam in the first Iraq thing, to no new taxes, to secret wars, to stealing elections, to 9-11, to “Mission Accomplished”, to rigging elections, to…
And then there are the equally useless Clintons, y’know, Rose Law Firm, Whitewater, Vince Foster, Waco, drug dealing in Mena, (who cares about being fellated in the Oval Office?, the hiding-in-the-closet Republicans, that’s who.)
We’re letting dynasties become realities here in the once great, USA. Next comes nobility and titles.
Ok here is another click the pic moment.
Check out the face of the thief in Chief bad beyond belief. Does he need a bathroom? Or is he just thinking really hard?
Somebody should start a countdown to when we get rid of this clod.
“We’re letting dynasties become realities here in the once great, USA. Next comes nobility and titles.”
Oh yeah, and dont forget, huckabee wants to remake the constitution to suit HIS interpretation of “the word of the living god”.
Yep. I’d say the facist takover is complete. And democracy and equal justice for all were nothing more than talking points.
Makes me think everything I ever learned in civics and government classes was one long fairy tale.
Banks are melting down (losses of 400-500 BILLION) because of the sub-prime lending fiasco.

Remember, this is the problem that RepubliCONs claim is nothing more than “stupid people agreeing to loans they can’t afford.”
No explanation of why all these “stupid people” took on these loans during Bush’s term and not during previous administrations.
No acknowledgment of the real source of the problem: a willful lack of regulation because “gov’t always causes more problems than it solves,” according to the CON mantra.
Add to this the major stock losses — the DOW has already lost two hundred points from its altime high.
But now the final piece that virtually assures a recession this year: INFLATION.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080116/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/economy
Declining spending, no growth, AND inflation = STAGFLATION.
That’s what happens when gov’t doesn’t do its job. Welcome to CON paradise.
I read something last night that reminded me that Bush is over trying to gain support for his war with Iran.
In “Bush world” the author said that in the first year of his Presidency. Bush so offended Major world leaders. That his staff managed to arrange him to only have face to face meetings with third rate Latin American leaders. The one that were so impressed that the POTUS was able to speak to them in Spanish that they did not care what he said. This after he was on GMA and almost started war with Communist China by saying he would send U.S. troops to protect Twain from Mainland China aggression. It was referred to as the “amigo accords”.
I support Bush. I do not want to see any Tax, Run and spend Democrat as President.
So George you would prefer the “tax, run and spend” Republicans?
Bush the lesser will always be known as the limbo king. How low can he go? I dont think we know that yet…
This just in, President bush can’t open a door!
http://www.jibjab.com what we call the news.
Ah, that thirty-two percent……. what would it take for them to change their minds and recognize Bush for what he is – an incompetent ideologue that seems lost and confused by the real world.
My father is one of the thirty-two percent. He thinks that George W Bush is a great president.
My father is also 92 years old, thinks that the Sun is the only source of light in the universe, thinks that Jesus was a capitalist and claims that the Bible commands God helps those that help themselves.
He also thinks that the SCHIP program should be disbanded, despite the fact that he has been on Medicare and Social Security for 27 years.
SCHIP is socialized medicine according to him.
Oh, well…………….
I had almost forgotten ..Old draft evaders never die . they just have a haircut and shave. AMERICA’S FIRST COUPLE? … PLEASE, NOT AGAIN
BILL CLINTON’s MILITARY CAREER
(Bill & Hillary – Grit your teeth before you read this!)
Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions of registering for the draft. Service Number is 326 46 228.
Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.
Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.
Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under authority of COL. E. Holmes.
Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.
Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2) (a) registrant who has failed to report…remain liable for induction.
Bill Clinton’s birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!
Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.
Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a
Fugitive from justice
Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977, from President Carter.
Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of the United States.
All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S.
Military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. Military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. Sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC. Who are now dead would be alive today.
THINK ABOUT IT! It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8
Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events while under oath.
Sincerely, Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret)
Nice story, Ag, too bad it is false….

But, don’t let those pesky facts get in the way of a good story.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080116/ap_on_go_pr_wh/white_house_e_mail
WASHINGTON – The White House has acknowledged recycling its backup computer tapes of e-mail before October 2003, raising the possibility that many electronic messages — including those pertaining to the CIA leak case — have been taped over and are gone forever.
The disclosure came minutes before midnight Tuesday under a court-ordered deadline that forced the White House to reveal information it has previously refused to provide.
Among the e-mails that could be lost are messages swapped by any White House officials involved in discussions about leaking a CIA officer’s identity to reporters.
. . . . .
Before October 2003, the White House recycled its backup tapes “consistent with industry best practices,” according to a sworn statement by a White House aide.
Backup tapes are the last line of defense for saving electronic records.
Separately, the statement reveals the extent to which the White House is apparently unable to answer how many e-mails are missing from White House servers.
The White House “does not know if any e-mails were not properly preserved in the archiving process,” said the statement by Theresa Payton, chief information officer for the White House Office of Administration. “We are continuing our efforts,” said Payton, whose staff is responsible for the White House e-mail system.
If the e-mails were not saved, the White House might have violated two laws requiring preservation of documents that fall into the categories of federal records or presidential records.
. . . .
“It appears that the White House has now destroyed the evidence of its misconduct,” said Anne Weismann, the chief counsel for CREW, the other private group that sued.
“The White House declaration raises more questions than it answers, specifically the likelihood that for a very significant period of time — March 2003 to October 2003 — the White House recycled its backup tapes,” said Weismann.
“As a result there may be no way to recover the missing e-mails from a period in which the U.S. decided to go to war with Iraq, White House officials leaked the identity of Valerie Plame and the Justice Department started a criminal investigation of the White House,” the lawyer said.
The sworn statement by Payton did not say how early in the Bush administration the recycling of backup computer tapes began. The statement does not say why the White House stopped recycling backup tapes in October 2003.

Stop worrying about whether fascism will ever come to America.
It’s already here.
Thanks WSC. But, like you said, don’t let facts get in the way. Especially if you take enough Limbaugh Whites first.
Of course, we all know that due to Bush’s bravery Georgia never successfully invaded Alabama!
Capn – speaking of destroying evidence: Did you notive the news story about Blackwater doing that with the vehicles involved in their massacre? So now FBI forensics are deprived of that physical evidence – WITH STATE DEPARTMENT APPROVAL!
El Duce Benito Bush doesn’t have to follow laws.
He is the law.
Bush is drinking again…surprise!!!
