Bush’s disconnect with his constituency extends beyond Compean and Ramos. There is a an entire litany of decidedly anti-conservative, anti-American, and anti-Republican actions by this President and his administration.
He may stick to his guns on some issues, but I’m afraid I will stick to mine on my assessment of him. History will not be kind to GWB.
When you look at his very low rate of popularity, the only way those numbers can be generated is by subtantial loss of support among his base. While I support the War Against Terror and the War in Iraq in general and his actions in getting us there, I feel there are many people who, like me, question his ability and wisdom in the way he has been conducting it.
Our Soldiers: Bush addresses "an enthusiastic military crowd"
Business Leaders: "We're all pretty thrilled about this, the opportunity to host the president,"
But you know who says people are sick of Bush? Obama: U.S. Sick of Bush
Nice company you are keeping.
My point isn't that people are happy with what Bush has done, but that people enjoy getting a chance to MEET with him, are not repulised personally by the thought, and still can separate their position on issues from their personal feelings about a fellow human being who needs an d deserves our support and prayers, not our anger and hostility.
