If we were to have an election tomorrow, President Bush wouldn't win. I
have never seen Americans so bitterly divided over their President or
the direction their country is taking as they are now. Maybe "divided"
is the wrong word if it suggests we're divided in half because it
appears as if the Americans who dislike the President far outnumber
those who support him.

Even many of the people who voted for him are blaming President Bush for
not responding sooner to the disaster in New Orleans. They don't blame
the weather, bad luck, the government or God for the disaster following
the impact of Hurricane Katrina. They blame President Bush. They don't
like anything about him:

"Look at that fake smile he has!"

"He doesn't walk, he swaggers."

"Where does he get all those inept assistants he hires to do his dirty
work for him?"


It's obvious to everyone, including him probably, that we made a mistake
going into Iraq. However, no matter how good it sounds to say, "We ought
to get out," the fact is we can't just pick up and leave. There are too
many people in Iraq who supported us who'd be slaughtered if we did.

Whether you like George W. Bush or not, he is our President. We're stuck
with any President we elect for four years and maybe that's too long,
but unless we change it, that's our system. The American people are
often dissatisfied with a leader they have elected. Of our 43
Presidents, only 16 have been reelected for a second term.

It appears as though Andy contradicts himself quite a bit. And he even posted that only a few (16) presidents out of 43 were reelected.
That would tell me he was liked a lot more by the people than Andy does.
