Baloney. The entire media, Hollywood, the Eurotrash, etc., have been attacking Bush for 6 months. He's fighting a tidal wave of BS.
There's a lot of anger out there, and it isn't directed at Bush.
During the 2000 elections, there was a lot of very real anger out there against the republicans for airing our dirty laundry. Today, the anger that the dems are trying to stir up isn't really there. People hear all this crap about a recession, unholy wars, tax cuts for the rich, etc., and shake their heads. They don't see it, and they are mostly annoyed by the left. And that's where the anger is: from the left. They're pissed that Americans aren't as pissed as they are. They're pissed that 9/11 came along and opened the door for the republicans to finally show their true colors, and those colors were red, white and blue.
When I drive down the road I see more Kerry bumper stickers than Bush. But I see far more "support our troops" stickers as well as American flags. I see (in Virginia) "fight terrorism" license plates. I see lots of these. You can be sure that none of this is being done by democrats.
And, unlike Kerry, the President cannot blow off his job for 10 months.
Kerry sits back and leisurely "Monday morning quarterbacks" and snipes every decision the President has to make.
