ALL Bush can do is hide behind the brains in his cabinet.......you call this a leader?..........Bush's performance is sub-par at best By Staff Editorial/Kent Stater (Kent State U.) (U-WIRE) KENT, Ohio — President Bush hit his 100-day mark as president of the United States Sunday, the traditional time to assess a president’s success in office. A Gallup poll showed 62 percent of respondents said Bush was doing a good job as president, compared to 55 percent for former President Clinton at 100 days. But the support for Bush is high because Americans started with lower expectations. And overall, Bush has done a mediocre job of stepping up to his responsibilities and promises as president, with several key actions clouding any impression of success. Bush presented himself as a centrist on environmental issues during his campaign, but several of his moves have painted a different picture, including his campaign promise to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.. With the current energy crisis and gas prices soaring near $2 per gallon, Bush has offered no real solutions to help reduce oil prices. Instead, he has recently supported oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and considered opening lands Clinton designated as national monuments to drilling. Bush’s reversal on the environment and his support of reversing ergonomics regulations clearly show he is more interested in catering to big businesses than American citizens and their safety. The Gallup poll reflects this sentiment — 63 percent of the respondents said big business has too much influence over the administration.
