HAHAHA! Laura Bush "Doesn't Believe" the Bad Polls for Georgie!

[Jason9612]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. First lady
Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing her husband's approval ratings at record low levels.

Interviewed on Fox News Sunday, Laura Bush said she did not think people were losing confidence in President George W. Bush, despite a series of polls showing support for him at its lowest point in his five-year presidency and among the lowest for any president in the past 50 years.

"I don't really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me," she said.

"As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, 'Stay the course'."

Many recent polls have put Bush's job approval rating below 35 percent. One, the Harris poll, published last Friday, measured his approval at 29 percent, the first time any survey has put his support below the 30 percent mark. Two other polls published last week put his job approval at 31 percent.

In a separate interview on ABC's "This Week," Laura Bush said her husband's popularity was suffering because the country had been through a difficult year.

We've had a very, very difficult year, starting with the hurricane last September, but already because of the terrorist attack in 2001 and then the war on terror since then," she said. "He's the one that has to make the hard decisions. And, of course, they don't please everyone."

Mrs. Bush complained that when her husband's popularity was high, newspapers did not put that on the front page. Now it was low, they took great delight in highlighting the fact.

Asked if she thought the media had been unfair, Mrs. Bush said: "No, I don't think it's necessarily unfair. I think it's just, you know, I think they may be enjoying this a little bit."

1. Being delusional is a big part of being on the Bush team. nt

[Gman]

2. Yeah but, Laura...

don't you think people might be just a little pissed at traitorous outing of CIA agents or admitted felonious behaviour? C'mon now. You're a librarian...

[Nicole]

3. Keep popping those pills Laura

:rofl:

[valerief]

8. Oh, yeah. She's always got the *pleasant* face on, the kind you

can only get with the right meds.

So why does she think the Harris Poll is lying about the poll results? Wish someone would ask her that.

[Blue Fire]

4. Well.....obviously

she oughta not limit her 'travel around the United States' to Crawford, TX. Or her interviews to 'Faux' News.

[oldtime dfl_er]

5. Faith based denial

works for her!

[C_U_L8R]

6. faith based polling

it's not about what is actually true...
it's about what you believe is true.

it's not about actually telling the truth
it's about making people believe you're telling the truth.

[annabanana]

9. But she refuses to believe it's not butter. . . . . . n/t

[lumpy]

10. Bush needs all the help he can muster.

Desparately getting the family out to plead his case, Mommy Dearest, Poopy, nieces and nephews. Do they really think Laura will appeal successfully to the mothers, daughters and in general, women. I don't think so.

[hfojvt]

11. I will enjoy it alot more

if Republicans get thumped in November. It will be a resounding message of "Do NOT stay the course" on all their insidious courses.

[northzax]

12. of course they do

but then, since the only people she runs into are prescreened Bush Bots, it's only to be expected.

[ananda]

13. They're both murderers..

.. whaddya expect?

[EVDebs]

15. I thought the vehicular manslaughter charge was never filed on her

And as for him, there's no excuse.

[DesEtoiles]

14. Well, we don't believe in you, Laura. Or him.

[Crunchy Frog]

16. In her GUT, she knows that Georgie is popular.

She prefers truthiness over facts. I can't say that I blame her.

[Disturbed]

20. Why would the Corp Media be "enjoying this a little bit.'?

"I think it's just, you know, I think they may be enjoying this a little bit." Pickels

This is the same Corp. Media that has been complicit with the Neo Fascists since 2000. Are the Fox Polls also wrong? The very Network that she and the RW appear on to catapult their propaganda also have Prez. at 29% and VP at 18%.

[madmom]

17. I was kinda curious as to when babs is gonna lash out at

every body who doesn't like her wittle man.:puke:

[Jesterstear]

18. You gotta remember...

To get anywhere near the Bush family at a public appearance, you have to basically sign a loyalty oath to the Republican party. Of course she doesn't hear any dissenting views. I'm sure she makes sure to keep herself in the dark the same way her husband does.

[Roland99]

19. Well, considering every crowd is hand-picked and bused in, no wonder

The Stepford Administration.

[fearthem]

21. She knows what he really is; that's pride saving face, but she knows!
