One Presidency: $200 million, A Shoe Thrown At The President: $34, Discribing Bush in One Word: Priceless

"The Good Old Days"

NOW We Can Talk Approval Ratings?

Pew Research is always pretty accurate. We have a daily feed to our home page that gives us the latest on Politics and Religion. We've used them before, and the numbers have been real eye-openers!

But when it comes to the last eight years and George W. B**h, the numbers vindicate our resentment, while - frankly- making us laugh at the same time! I wish there were a way for Pew Research representatives to follow around Rove and B**h in his "Legacy Tour" with placards of ratings.

When I saw the below stastics, it made me howl! From "Christian" to "Idiot" (sort of redundant) see what the country REALLY thinks of our diplomatic dimwit. The numbers are NOT percentages, but how many people out of 1000 responded with these words when asked for a one-word description both in 2004 and 1008

Now Let's Talk LEGACIES!!: (This one in %)


NOW Let's See Percentage Comparisons: Clinton, Jan. 01 Bush, Dec. 08 Accomplishments 60% 24% Failures 27% 64%
These figures are almost completely reversed!

In other words, The feelings about Clinton's failures in 2001 were the same as Bush's accomplishments in 2008! And Republicans castigated Clinton while everyone thought of him as a successful President and backed Bush when everyone thought of him as incompetent!

So it's in black and white: people think Bush is an ass who has ruined the country and the Republican Party.

Just a thought!
