1. How did they spin it?
Surely they spun the 40% as being much better than the 28% that Jimmy Carter had in his second term!

4. Second term? I was drinking then, but to black out for four years
would be a stretch.

6. It's the liberal media's fault. And the Democrats, for saying bad
things about the Dear Leader. And the White House just hasn't been doing a great job of selling its policies, lately.

22. White House hasn't been "selling" its policies?
Maybe you mean the White House has stopped paying to have it's policies spread.

You know, that could go a long ways towards explaining the increased number of stories critical of this administration that have been appearing of late.

Things that make you go hmmm.

24. That was the RW meme a few days ago.
Bush and his policies weren't at fault--just the WH's inability to get the message out.

7. The funny thing is it was probably their own poll--so it most
likely reflected Freeper opinion. That is why the approval rate is so high!

:rofl:

9. Jimmy only served one term...
but, the hostage situation, and gas prices, and high interest rates caused the low poll numbers.

18. Rush said...
...that his approval rating is not any lower than the last 7 presidents at their lowest point. Does anyone have the lowest approval ratings of the last 7 presidents? I could have swore I saw numerous reports that Bush's was the lowest with the exception of Nixon's before he resigned.

5. Exactly. If Fuck Snooze is reporting 40%, you know it's really lower.

8. Dunno, but I am worried for you. Rinse your eyes with visine
take a long hot shower and clean your TV with windex.

16. Keith nailed it, didn't he?
My wife and I watched his show last night.

19. Another terra attack will drop those numbers even further.
It would be seen as yet ANOTHER failure. The fearmongering doesn't help their approval numbers anymore- it only diverts media coverage for awhile.

They're fucked, IMHO. Makes me wonder about all this "must get rid of Posse Comitatus" talk.

11. Bet that's inflated like the others!
It wouldn't surprise me if his true approval rating is probably down to about where Nixon's was in the weeks prior to his resignation, but the corporate media is suppressing that.

25. When Fox has Bush at 40, you know it's BELOW 40!!!
Any time Bush is at 40 on Fox, he's lower in reality, since they always grade that dumb bastard on a curve.
