It’s poll time here at TBWA, and a handful of new polls were released in the last few days that measured “President” Bush’s approval rating.

Sorry, had to regain my composure after laughing so hard at the numbers…
A new Zogby poll shows Bush's approval rating at 26%, down dramatically from 34% in February.
A recent CNN/Opinion Research poll shows a scant 31% of respondents approve of Bush’s job performance, a new low for a CNN poll that is a staggering 40 points lower than his rating at the start of the Iraq war five years ago.
A new Reuters/Zogby poll pegs his approval rating at 32%, a 2-point drop from February.
When you consider that 19% of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction and 40% feel very secure about their jobs, you start to understand that the country has had it up to here with the Bush(whacked) Administration and their overwhelming incompetence.
Wow… nothing like following in Daddy’s footsteps, as Bush 43’s numbers are comparable to Bush 41’s numbers near the end of his term… and the numbers and the humongous drop is equivalent to those of President Lyndon Johnson during the Vietnam War.
And when you consider that Dubya’s approval numbers haven’t topped 40 since mid-2006, is it any wonder this country is ready for a change?
All together now; January 20, 2009 can NOT come soon enough…

Lame-duck fever, catch it!

Welcome to the club, we've got jackets
Close to a year ago, WaPo columnist David Broder wrote a column in which he stated that “President” Bush – who was enjoying sub-30 approval ratings at the time and had just seen his party get kicked in the ass during the 2006 midterms – was “poised for a political comeback”… something that earned him a Weekly Rewind Heckle from yours truly.
Over the past year he has refused to admit he was wrong…
Until now.
In an online chat today, Broder finally renounced his column and said that that belief was “certainly one of my less astute observations.”
That’s putting it mildly Mr. Broder…
Bush’s comeback hasn’t happened and, more than likely, won’t happen before January 20, 2009 when Bush leaves office… and Mr. Broder has finally realized this.
Welcome to the self-evident point that millions of us knew months, nay, years ago…
Now, if only we could get that 19% that still approve of his job performance to see this, things in this country will start getting better…

More Delusions of Grandeur
Currently, “President” Bush’s job approval numbers are mired in the low 30s, and rightfully so. But a post in U.S. News’ Washington Whispers reports that Bush aides predict a ‘remarkable shift’ that will give the president a 45% approval rating when he leaves office...
Again, I ask this administration; what color is the sky in your world??
The people in the White House see happy days for Bush this year, already labeled his “legacy year” by the White House staff. But, once again, they’re ignoring the American public, a majority of whom appears VERY ready for his presidency to be over.
One of the republican presidential contenders?
Doubtful...
One of the Republicans in the Senate or House?
Doubtful... especially if they are running for re-election.
Rush Limbaugh? Ann Coulter? Papa Bush?
Doubt it, doubt it and doubt it... none of them have the clout needed to polish his legacy, so it’s up to one man to do it… Dubya himself.

Now that we’ve all stopped laughing, let’s think about that for a moment like Dubya would---
