Epiphanies

[. . .]

As for Bush, 49 percent of respondents said they approved of the job the president is doing. That number is down from his November approval rating of 55 percent. Bush is the first incumbent president to have an approval rating below 50 percent one month after winning re-election. The question had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

[. . .]

When asked how the United States has handled Iraq during the past year, 47 percent said things have gotten worse. Twenty percent said the situation has improved and 32 percent said it is about the same. The differences fell outside the question's margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Story.

So what was the deal in November? The same shit was happening then. Hopefully, a few more moderate Repubs in Congress grow some balls and try to curtail some of Chimpy's crazy bullshit. Kudos to Chuck Hagel and Susan Collins who have.
