The Presidency is NOT a popularity contest.

The disfavor for Abraham Lincoln was even greater, especiallly right after the battle of Cold Harbor.

The thing is that Congress is never as damaged by a low approval rating as is the President. A Congressman can hide in the herd.

Let this be a lesson in “seeking the middle”.
You will never be “approved” by the libs if you’re not a flaming lib, and if you move leftward, you earn the ire of the right or conservatives.
Yes, I disapprove of certain things Bush has done, or tried to do - like the Immigration fiasco.
I have to admire his tenacity over Iraq, but I wish he’d start telling the public directly, WHY he’s doing so. Even just a “it needs to be done to prevent a future horror” would be sufficient for me.
While it’s true the presidency is not a popularity contest, a huge disapproval rating, which includes people supposedly on your side of things means you need to reconsider either how you lead, where you’re leading to, or whether you’ve completely strayed off the path.

Kind of funny. As a hoot, I wonder what Lincoln's approval ratings were if they were taking them back then? There were some pretty vicious op-eds in the papers on him during those times....suspending habeas corpus, etc. And didn't he arrest or try to arrest some Sup. Court Justices?
By no means am I comparing Bush to Lincoln, there are no similarities to the men other than they are both Republicans IMHO.

Exactly. Once again the liberal activist MSM pound their anti-Bush drums. This is the 9,000 “news” article about Bush’s ratings, and AGAIN, the article completely fails to mention that Congress’ ratings are well below that of Bush’s. Therefore, they dishonestly leave the impression that Bush is a loser by failing to provide the proper context of the issue. This is called disinformation and is a smear.

To: metalmanx2j
When Bush decided that his loyal base support was expendable, he made a serious mistake.
9/11 was never repeated thanks to his attentive leadership. For this he is to be commended.
However, his refusal to secure the Mexican Border, enforce U.S. immigration laws, and halt further illegal immigration has left the U.S.A. dangerously vulnerable. For this he is to be criticized.
If terrorists should succeed in attacking the U.S. through the unsecured Mexican Border, history will villify him.
If it should happen before his term of office expires, he would probably be impeached with the support of both the Republican and Democrat Parties.

but I wish hed start telling the public directly, WHY hes doing so. Even just a it needs to be done to prevent a future horror would be sufficient for me. Pres. Bush CONSTANTLY explains why. He just doesn't yell to grasp for ratings.
His eye is on the long term. And he will do extremely well there.

As stubborn and strange as Bush has become...Kerry would have been a disaster.....al-Qaida would have loved him!

“Even just a it needs to be done to prevent a future horror would be sufficient for me.”
I agree with your take except that comment. I believe he has said that nearly every time he’s opened his mouth on the subject. Loud and clear.
