1. It almost makes you wonder if that's what they wanted

Interesting set of answers they offered.

[eleny]

4. Interesting phrasing

You can be with the * but still be anxious.

[sonias]

2. me too

I'm more anxious and nothing bu$h does will make me less anxious. We need to just fire him, but we have to survive the next year and half first.

**I don't think Bush was expecting this kind of FEAR from his speech. Seems people are afraid of what he has gotten us into.

7. or perhaps that is the plan

meaning that perhaps Bush's plan IS to put more fear into people, as the actual risk from Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups is actually not high, as we know the risk from Iraq was 0...

They like fear, keeps them in power. Other regimes have used similar tactics, no?

[loudnclear]

8. How about "more confident" vs "less confident" vs "pissed"

these choices make more sense. Even the pollsters are spin meisters in favor of Bush.

6. Normally I would think this poll would end up Freep'd

but they seem as disgusted with his speech as we are.

9. If this was the NFL, he be long gone..... Toast. No coach with that kind

of losing record survives. The owners(Americans) need to fire this lousy loser.

We not even going to the playoffs, 3 losing years in a row spells the EXIT for any coach.

Come, we go Vegas, the odds look very good this guy is Toast.

10. I am more confident

that Whistle-Ass will go down in flames in Nov. '04! That's probably not what they meant, though....
