Bush Thinks You're Starting To Like Him
According to the U.S. News and World Report, Bush thinks people are warming to him, now that he's engaged in seven years of epic bumbling, sent the country to war resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands, stocked every meaningful regulatory position with lobbyists, and generally made Nixon look like a superhuman combination of Gandhi, Robert E. Lee and Stephen Hawking:
"When he travels around the country, Bush feels less "antipathy" than he used to in the crowds, along the motorcade routes, and expressed by the individuals who talk to him at his events. "He feels there has been a shift in attitudes out there that's not reflected in polling data," the aide says.Can you imagine how insulated by yes-men you must be when you're arguably the worst President in American history and yet you think the unprecedented public loathing is the result of bad math? Again though, I love how there is no such thing as "truth" in this country (ie: the guy is totally fucking incompetent, corrupt, and unquestioningly disliked by a VAST majority of Americans), there's negotiable datasets.Reinforcing his point, the latest AP-Ipsos poll, released in mid-June, found that only 29 percent of Americans approved of Bush's job performance, one of the lowest presidential ratings ever. White House officials, by the way, say they aren't sure such polls should be believed because the questions are biased and the population samples are flawed."
I first noticed these when I was suffering through "reading" a copy of Spin (aka Teen People meets Vogue with an occasional reference to music). The ad in question had Kurt Cobain posthumously selling
