Now THAT'S a legacy. Bet that last press conference and farewell speech helped knock him down from the low 30s.

[Auggie]

1. Still surprised it's that high

Even my GOP Dad, all 80 years old of him, despises W.

[bemildred]

2. It's a lie, it isn't that high. nt

[Auggie]

6. Ah, thank you. I knew there had to be an explanation.

[bitchkitty]

24. Agree - I was about to post subject line "That High?"

I have a feeling it's more like 5-10%.

[scytherius]

4. My first Presidential vote was for Goldwater and I DESPISE "W". nt

[tanyev]

21. Me too. Even the Freepers are disgusted with him.

If he's lost the Freepers, who else is left?

[yawk09]

31. k&r

[Jack Rabbit]

3. Jey, Frat Boy , , ,

Your Daddy Was a Better President than You!!

[machI]

5. So two out of every ten people are stupid

Why does this not surprise me?

[scytherius]

7. Yep. And they all have Freeper accounts. n/t

[tinrobot]

10. Rich or stupid.

[walkaway]

12. I think greedy and (or) stupid

[Doctor_J]

13. Rich and/or brainwashed

if it weren't for hate radio * would have been impeached long ago, and would otherwise have abouta 10% approval

[ConcernedCanuk]

16. How about rephrasing that - 2 out of 10 USAmerican voters are stupid

.
.
.

but I suspect that in reality it's much higher

USAmericans let the Bushgang run the States for 8 years

just saying . . . .

[indepat]

29. 22% must be getting down to the hard-core RW fanatics

:P

[Baby Snooks]

8. They must have conducted the poll in Texas...

The only place that he has a 22% approval rating in Texas and that is really not saying much given the number of rabid Republicans in Texas.

[machI]

30. Could be a few in top managment

Poll managment at these companies and see where Bush stands

Lockheed Martin
Boeing
Northrop Grumman
Raytheon
General Dynamics
L-3 Communications
United Technologies
KBR
SAIC
General Electric

9. EVER!!! WORST EVER!! I LOVE it!!!

This is great news!

:woohoo:

[llmart]

11. There's your stupid legacy......

you friggen idiot. If he thought he was going to spike those numbers in the last couple of weeks by showing his mug on TV over and over again, it didn't work. He had 8 stolen years to do something and he didn't do anything worthwhile, and at the end he thought he could redeem himself.

Yes, his legacy will be worst president ever.

[jazzjunkysue]

14. yea that's about 15 points too high...

[Betty]

15. 22% love foreclosure and bankruptcy

and hate the constitution apparently.

[Sheets of Easter]

17. How will history remember you? That's how, numbnuts.

Dear 33%

I feel for you. I really do. I feel for anyone suffering from severe mental illness.

Now, now. Don't get testy. I don't mean it as snark. I mean it as fact. You truly are suffering from a mental illness -- post-traumatic stress disorder. Yes, the same disorder our soldiers get in the field. Somehow you got it on 9/11.

I never realized how terrified that day made you, 33%. Yes, it was a horrible, scary day. I remember. But obviously much more frightening for you than for me. It scared you so much, your mind simply gave up rationality. We 67%ers know -- we've listened to you. We've listened to you in one breath say that Saddam was a butcher and that this is a war to save innocent lives, and then just a few seconds later say Islam is inherently violent and all Muslims need to be targeted, surveilled, and destroyed. We've listened with pity as you described in ever more complete detail the architecture of your delusion, the monsters you fear will kill you. You tell us we have to fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here, but then you tell us we must surrender all our rights because we are surrounded by your demons.

These are not the workings of a rational mind. Can you see that?

33%, you are sick. You need help.

You need treatment. A good liberal psychologist could help you work through your PTSD. Failing that, a good liberal friend. If you can't find treatment on your own, let us know.
Just ask 3 people for help -- we'll be two of them.

Love and hope for your recovery,
67%

22. It's good to know that a third of that 33% has shown some improvement.

[Deja Q]

19. Not bad for a puppet! Even Howdy Doody's final show was rumored to have a lower appreciation index.

[lebkuchen]

20. Hey! Three more days left, and he still might find Bin Laden!

I have my fingers crossed, Dick!

[CrispyQ]

23. Who knew we had so much backwash?

:banghead:

[Robbien]

25. Ha, ha. . . . In that poll Dick Cheney sank to 13%. Lucky 13

Only person in the US disliked more than Bush jr.

[timtom]

26. Obviously an inflated number.

[Lorien]

27. So why is much of the media falling over themselves to praise him

or at least cut him some slack? Why is Obama calling him a "good person" and saying that he did as good a job as possible under the circumstances?

[eringer]

28. These are Bushies waiting for pardons

That will never come.
