Bush has an engaging personality, but he’s not running for office anymore. He is already a very lame duck.

Definition of Lame Duck:

person holding office after his or her replacement has been elected to the office, but before the current term has ended. In the American presidency, the period after election day in November and the swearing-in of the new President in January is known as the lame duck period

Since this seems to be a common definition of 'lame duck president', I do not understand why the press keeps referring to Bush as a 'lame duck'.

Bush becomes a lame duck on November 4, 2008.

I smell fear in the MSM and the Democrat Party. The power is slipping from them. Three months into the second term and "he's a lame duck"? Please. I sense they see it becoming worse for them down the road and are going all over the place talking about how Republican's here and conservatives there are wavering in an attempt to break things up a little. Only the future will tell. I have a feeling that in the next six months were all going to see a more aggressive and productive GOP.
