That’s your opinion regarding Obama. The public sees him about as they saw GWB at this point in his Presidency. And he’s only at a 41% approval rating because there are still believers who want to think he can do better. In polls on his performance on actual issues, he’s in really dismal territory, 30s across the board. With two years left in his Presidency, there are still people with hope. Once Obama costs Democrats the Senate and eyes start to turn towards the next President, he’ll sink to the low 30s or even 20s like Bush did.
I’m content to let W. live out his life knowing that his presidency will always be viewed as a failure. You can recover from a kick in the nuts.
Yeah, we want to be governed by people who have done things, like politicians, not just people who’ve given speeches, like…
like…
Uh, someone help me out, here.
Yeah, Romney could bring his vast business experience to bear on fixing the country; offshore our Border Patrol jobs to India and sell the Marines.
Or, since you demand public experience, how he saved the Olympics. And the problem with our last two Presidents is the complete lack of accomplishment in either public or private life. It has produced predictable results. I wish Nate Silver would write an article on the relationship between pre-Presidential experience and success as President. There actually is a relationship there to be found.
He’s getting that with or without the kick.
I’m just sayin’ if we can see to it he gets both, I’m happy to help out.
Indeed. I can’t imagine what Shrubby could tell me that I didn’t already know.
And I’d like to have a Kicking-In-The-Nuts World Tour to visit all the folks who managed to sell Dubya as someone who could be a halfway competent President - not just the GOPers, but the Broderists of the press.
If I had the option of kicking any US President in the nuts, Dubya would be at the top of my list.
Since his administration inspired Idiocracy, how about we just make him the new star of “Ooowww, My Balls!” ?
Technically, anyone who is elected President of the United States - not to mention reelected - has accomplished a rare feat beyond the reach of 99.9999% of Americans and put their mark on history. I doubt sulking about this or that.
True, but I don’t think anyone runs for president in the hope that they’ll suck at it.
I voted for a kick in the nuts, but I’d actually rather kick Cheney in the bollocks.
I guess I’ll have to settle for pissing on his grave, if he doesn’t go full cyborg on us.
If you want to rip his heart out, you’re too late.
Every president sucked at it in the eyes of someone. Bush will just figure those people are the clueless wankers.
I’m glad to see you acknowledge that getting the government to throw money your way and solve a problem sometimes is the way to go.
I’d ask him a question. Never mind Iraq or torture or policy issues, he was just the toady for Cheney and the other neocons. I would ask him “did you pork Condi Rice?”
