I think that overnight he'd regain the support of his entire base, and probably garner some new supporters too. Most Americans are very unhappy with the border situation and the mountain of debt the President is piling up for future taxpayers, and I think they know the liberals won't do anything about it either. So Bush does have an opportunity to help himself and the Republican Party. Problem is, he's too self-willed and agenda-driven to do the will of the vast majority of the American people. He gets an idea, he lives or dies with it. I used to love his arrogant swagger and that condescending smirk because it aggrivated the liberals no end; but now I'm beginning to see why they detested it.
RIGHT ON!!
Secure the border: Poll numbers will go up 10% immediately. Even most Democrats support a secure border.
But he better hurry. This cannot wait.
Then get Tony Snow out there a lot. Daily. Smiling. :)
