Even though the Bushes can’t stand him.
It probably goes against so-called "conventional wisdom", but I don't see this as a problem.
I just read recently that President Bush is enjoying a favorablity rating these days in the 50's whereas Obozo's numbers are in the low 40's.
The years 2000 to 2008 aren't looking so bad to more and more folks apparently.
