WASHINGTON - The last two weeks certainly have been eventful ones in America and across the globe: President Bush gave a prime-time speech on Iraq and attended a G-8 summit in Scotland; Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement from the Supreme Court (with perhaps another retirement on the way); and suicide bombers killed approximately 50 people in London. After these events, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that Bush’s overall job rating has slipped and that his rating for being “honest and straightforward” has dropped to its lowest point.

...only 41 percent give Bush good marks for being “honest and straightforward” — his lowest ranking on this question since he became president. That’s a drop of nine percentage points since January, when a majority (50 percent to 36 percent) indicated that he was honest and straightforward.

1. I like how Bush gets re-elected...

then everyone starts hating him more than ever. Doesn't make sense does it?

4. It makes a lot of sense.

We are a slow and thick people, as a group. Add to that what they have tried and are trying to do: most of it he did not run on. He gave no clues as to his true agenda.

I think that is the source of this awakening. Add to that the utter systemic shock to the populace of The Schiavo Affair and the comments by the theocrats, who made it clear that a total takover of the country is their goal and the seeming acquiesance of the government with their agenda, mix in L'affaire Plame, add the realpolitik of the economy and the war and there you go. Wakeup call.

If we play our cards right, 2006 could be quite the interesting moment in tectonic shifts. Looks like something is moving: look at Schumer's fundraising for the DSCC.

5. Bush is TOAST. This time it really is.He has blown it, had an opportunity

to help/improve America....but he made it worse than ever.

What positive gain for the Nation did he do? Nada. he added more debt, made the rich richer, made the middle/lower class...poorer.

made more homeless, gas prices outta sight, more enemies of the kind that wanna kill more of US.

He has no gain to his name.
