President Bush to Sink Another Election Bid?

| Sat Dec. 27, 2008 11:04 AM PST

He already sunk McCain. With numbers as bad as the ones below, I have to believe he'll sink his brother, too. Which, of course, is a good thing for dynasty haters. And Americans who don't want to lose their sanity.

From a new CNN poll:

Thinking about the following characteristics and qualities, please say whether you think it applies or doesn't apply to George W. Bush:
Is a strong and decisive leader: Yes 45%, No 55%
Cares about people like you: Yes 37%, No 62%
Brought the kind of change the country needed: Yes 13%, No 86%
Is honest and trustworthy: Yes 37%, No 62%
Managed the government effectively: Yes 25%, No 75%
Is a person you admire: Yes 27%, No 72%
Shares your values: Yes 34%, No 65%
Generally agrees with you on issues you care about: Yes 34%, No 66%
Inspires confidence: Yes 20%, No 80%
Has united the country and not divide it: Yes 17%, No 82%
Was tough enough for the job: Yes 49%, No 51%
Can get things done: Yes 31%, No 69%

A full 75 percent say they are glad President Bush will be leaving Washington. And Jeb thinks Florida will send him there?

I was a Floridian under Jeb Bush. He was the one responsible for the "No Child Left Behind" plan, fashioned after Florida's so-called "A+ Schools Plan," which is leaving so many children behind. Good riddance to the Bush dynasty!

To answer your rhetorical question: Yes, Florida will send Jeb to Washington. As a Florida resident who voted against Jeb twice, I take no pleasure in writing this. But Stein seriously underestimates Jeb's enduring popularity down here. He left office with approval numbers rivaling Obama's. If he's on the ballot in '10 he will win, regardless of his brother and regardless of the opponent.

Bush committed hate crimes with the stench of terrorism

Speaking of George W. Bush: George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog). George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes. And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention. Many people know what Bush did. And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world. Bush was absolute evil. Bush is now like a fugitive from justice. Bush is a psychological prisoner. Bush has a lot to worry about. Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time. In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy. Submitted by Andrew Yu-Jen Wang B.S., Summa Cum Laude, 1996 Messiah College, Grantham, PA Lower Merion High School, Ardmore, PA, 1993 “GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY” BLOG OF ANDREW YU-JEN WANG ______________________ I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
