I can't believed our media is so dumbed down that they keep citing this stat, never stopping to question it.

Incredible that Bush was a high as he was with the relentless lies and media assaults on him for 8 years and still ongoing. Bet he would win in 16 if he were running against O. He was a far, far better president.

I don't think she is running...or matters much. Some of you just like to hang on like ticks to any nut job you can muster up and claim they represent all conservatives lol. Give it up already.

Those WMD must be pretty darn good at hide-and-seek, eh? Not to mention, there is just no valid justification for Iraq. Bush got us into the worst foreign policy disaster since Vietnam.

Maybe.. maybe not but that is speculation, they should have made fake promises like Obama did. We do know for a "fact" that Obama had much to offer. Obama deceit... promise the world and once you are in act like it's everyone else's fault.

They're all politicians. Ron Paul was promising a moonbase by 2020. Bush lied through his teeth about Iraq.

Bush had 90% approval ratings after 9/11, a record. Bush squandered that goodwill because he was the single worst president in US history, the absolute bottom of the barrel, not because of any agenda.

Sure he was. You just don't want to admit that it's Republicans who keep standing in the way of progress.

He is destroying his own credibility. He doesn't need any help to do that!

Come 2016 Obama will be the greatest president ever... and we will be passing on the greatness to another hope and change democrat president. The media will make sure of that. His numbers only drop when the media gets black listed like they did a few days ago. When its over they will praise him and come up with a new poll to raise his numbers.
