Bush is just a frontman for the oil business, including the Saudis. Then tacked on the HMO's, Pharmas and defence contractors. A male cheerleader in college then draft-dodger who is now a cheerleader for corporate interests onm the antional stage. Go Yale! Go Enron! Go Exxon! Go Prince Bandar! Go Halliburton! fight, fight, fight!

LOL. Is he carrying a football? This is the best info: "...The CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll found Bush's approval rating had dipped to 46 percent, down from 52 percent a month earlier. Bush led presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry 48 percent to 47 percent, a reversal of a poll taken last week when Kerry had a one-point edge, in a statistically insignificant shift. The new poll, with a sampling error of three percentage points, was conducted among 1,003 adults, Friday to Sunday, amid a broadening scandal over abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. troops. Only 44 percent said they believed the war was worthwhile, in another new low. In a poll taken a month ago, 50 percent said it was worth going to war in Iraq. A year ago, 73 percent said the war was worthwhile. Fifty-four percent of those polled said the invasion of Iraq was a mistake, and only 41 percent of adults said they believed Bush was doing a good job handling the war...." Apparently there's a strong correlation between an incumbent's job approval rating and the % of votes he'll get during reelection. I don't know how it works for election of an incumbent.
