10% of americans that watched *'s speech are still getting brainwashed
from cnn:
"Bush picked up some apparent support on the question of who is winning the war -- the U.S.-led coalition or the insurgents. Before the speech, 44 percent saw the United States winning; afterward that increased to 54 percent."

I will never understand how a boob like this guy can actually convince 10% of any crowd of anything.

4. That's actually one of my monikers for the administration,
the "benefit of the doubt presidency" because he's only doing a good job if you give him the benefit of the doubt.

6. Actually, he demands the benefit of the doubt.
It's penchant for secrecy is how it downgrades what would have been known disasters into mere suspicions of disasters: then it claim that since we don't have proof and only the president has all the facts, we have to defer to him and give him the benefit of the doubt.

9. quite right, but it amounts to the same thing
he relies on the benefit of the doubt to define his presidency as successful.

5. Of course, what they didn't tell you about those numbers
are that the 44%-54% are only for the 50% of the polled segment. In other words, 50% of them were Republicans, 23% Independant, and 27% Democrats.
