X...he may have had honor before being bullied by Bush,but Blair certainly lost all integrity and world respect when he snowed his country and the media with lies to get support for Iraq invasion.

Polls: 75% of Americans consider Bush economy poor!!!!Number who consider economy 'poor' highest in a decade The Associated Press Tuesday, July 15, 2003 (07-15) 14:53 PDT (AP) -- Three-fourths of Americans say the economy is "not so good" or "poor," according to a new poll, and the number who say it is poor is the highest in a decade. The poll by ABC-Money Magazine found that consumer confidence -- a combination of attitudes about the national economy, the buying climate and personal finances -- had slipped to its lowest level in almost two months. The survey has found consumers' mood on average this year to be as pessimistic about the economy as they have been in a decade. The most optimistic year in the history of this 17-year-old survey was in 2000. In an Ipsos Public Affairs poll done for the Cook Political Report, people were about evenly divided on President Bush's handling of the economy, but a majority of voters age 50 and over, 53 percent, said they disapprove of how the president is handling the economy. His overall job approval in that poll is 59 percent. The growing economic worries come as Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said he is ready to reduce interest rates even further if necessary to boost the sluggish economy. The Bush administration projected Tuesday that the federal deficit will climb to a record $455 billion this year and surge to $475 billion in 2004. The ABC-Money poll of 1,001 adults was taken over the last month and has an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The Ipsos poll of 1,531 registered voters was taken between mid-June and mid-July and has an error margin of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
