Dick Morris: Bush Perf poll 20% higher than Approval poll - so all is well

"What counts for the future is that the ratings on his recent performance are 20 points higher than his overall job approval."

Hurricane Katrina, Act II - starring George Bush
Politicians in Washington are often like motorists who drive only by consulting their rearview mirrors and never look out of their windshields to see what is going on right now.

Our national political/journalistic complex is obsessed with blaming President Bush for failing to respond quickly to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina. After weeks of media pounding and casualty figures that were, apparently, wildly and widely exaggerated, polls suggest that the public has no choice but to agree with the critique.

The CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll of Sept. 8-11 shows that only 44 percent of Americans approve of the job Bush did immediately after the storm. But so what? The same survey shows that 58 percent approve of the work he has done since then in helping New Orleans and the Gulf Coast to recover from the effects of the disaster.

The low job approval of Bush’s efforts in the week after the storm will fade into history and take its place alongside similar criticism of his slowness to act after the planes hit on Sept. 11 or after the tsunami struck late last year. What counts for the future is that the ratings on his recent performance are 20 points higher than his overall job approval.<snip>

5. so pissed I threw out the National Enquirer on a cleaning binge

the one with the hooker who disclosed how Morris used to gulp on her toes and get on all fours... and how Morris let her eavesdrop on a conversation with then-prez Clinton discussing his convention speech (before the convention).

I had that Enquirer for a long time then dumped it! DAMN...

Does anyone out there still have it? I'd love to get a copy.

4. Morris was laughing and joking about the dead on Fox News

the other day. He said it was only a couple of hundred killed - no big deal.

[Ioo]

6. 20 Points based on what?

I am seeing nothing that would move him up 20 points...

ALSO, How f*cking dare you make a comment like "president’s disaster-relief efforts nor the bounce that he always gets when we are reminded of the horrendous attacks of Sept. 11 on its grim anniversary."

The 9/11 think is over, it does not work anymore, his f*ck ups out strip anything he did on 9/11.

He is a waste od space, every time he inhales we loose O2 that we will never get back. Damn I am so pissed at that, leave 9/11 alone, stop propping up a failed pres with 9/11
