More about the Yule Goat
By David S. Broder
Friday, February 16, 2007; Page A23
It may seem perverse to suggest that, at the very moment the House of Representatives is repudiating his policy in Iraq, President Bush is poised for a political comeback. But don't be astonished if that is the case.
Bush focuses his Giant Sixth Grade Intellect to fixin' that problem and he came up with a Brilliant Plan.

He's goin' on Game Shows!!!
i know i disapprove.
I pray today that the majority of voters in PA have seen through HIllary and know that she brings only more of the same -- NOT progressive movement ahead.
28% approve? I find it hard to believe that more than one in four people could approve of your idiot of a president.

LOL.
You've never been Georgia, have you?
No, I haven't. The only parts of the States I know at all well are Berkeley and Ithaca. Not representative, I gather ...
I thought we were going to see a surge in his approval ratings, or is that not supposed to happen until the fall?
----
I think he's hoping for a posthumous surge now.
Won't happen.
Historians will see an idiot who bankrupted the economy, destroyed the military, and sundered the country's traditional alliances all for a quixotic and meaningless Vanity War while the country's real enemies were free to plan new attacks.
Believe me, I was an independent before this clown got into office. He's the Worst President Ever.

“We don’t have a strong evidence to show that it is heparin or its contaminant that caused the problem,” said the official, Ning Chen, second secretary at the Chinese Embassy.
Mr. Chen said that illnesses associated with contaminated heparin had occurred only in the United States, which he said suggested that the problem arose in this country.
Of course, most of China's other clients are third world countries, so it's not like they would have to best follow-up to pinpoint these problems anyway. On the other hand, it's not like the Repubs haven't run the FDA into the ground.
Which is the biggest liar? So hard to tell.
They're not ready to sell to countries with formal followup procedures.
Their poison only flies under the radar when it's dispensed to poor people in villages by traveling clinics.
I am so upset by that heparin article, I sent it to John last night to post as a topic. I cannot ever remember a time in this country that we have been so poisoned. Our pets, our children, our lives all in the past 8 years under Bush. It is appalling and downright criminal. Right now, baby bottles leaching BHP are banned in most countries but not here.
It is criminal what more can I say.
It's not just the investment banks that are running for cover:

On a personal note, my small bank, First Charter, was acquired by Fifth Third...considered changing my account to another bank, but they all seem to be in trouble these days.
Let me tell you what I would say to John McCain: neither of us is an expert on national defense. It's true that you went to one of the service academies but you were in the bottom of the class. It's true that you were a pilot in Vietnam, that you were shot down and spent most of the war in prison and we all sympathize with that and honor you for your courage. But you and I both had these battle experiences, you as a Navy fighter plane, I as an army bomber. I am not going to criticize your war record and your knowledge of national security but I don't want you criticizing mine either.
If I'd be allowed just one little dig at Senator McCain, since he gave me. I would say, 'John, you were shot down early in the war and spent most of the time in prison. I flew 35 combat missions with a 10-man crew and brought them home safely every time.'

Or, is it that Historians are mad at their high taxes and want the Bush Tax Cuts to pass.
Or, maybe it's a cold, rational calculation: "lessee, gazillions of dollars in profits for my oil buddies, vs a three-percent drop in popularity... what do you think, Dick?"

That's paraphrased but I got the message loud and clear. He's playing to the peanut gallery, in a gallery far, far, away, where they love him for his oratorial skills, decisiveness, and worship his leadership.
Nobody from New Orleans, no one black, arabic, french, poor, that enjoy breathing clean air, that currently live less than 50 feet above sea level, is a polar bear, or any other species, needs freash water, enjoys nature, etc is alive in this future he is playing to.
Just a bunch of rich, white, overweight old cronies in white shoes and golf shirts exist. They aren't all pleased, as it is damned hard to get a good caddy, or service.
Oil was $20 a barrel when dumbya took over, now it's over $117 and the Oil companies are overjoyed that we have no options but to keep on paying up.
Don't pay any attention to the articles regarding why OPEC won't increase production...cause you see...demand = supply so no need to flood the market with more Oil.
The weak dollar and Dumbya are to blame for our lot in life.
But Congress, is supposed to fill the mother role. They were supposed to protect us from this nutjob they married. Instead, they were all afriad to do anything to displease him.
Our country needs a psychiatrist.
Does that mean FDR was similarly despised, or that FDR's Presidency was when the polling started? It is written unclearly.
I suspect it means exactly what it says, since polling began, with FDR...
No, he didn't. Obama was not in the Senate at the time of the Iraq war vote.

I still remember the headlines in some foreign newspaper, the next day after
the 2004 elections, asking how so many million people can be so dumb.
We are now stuck with this good for nothing President, and it has cost us billions of dollars and over million deaths in Iraq.
Heck of a job, George.
