These days it seems in vogue to disapprove of Bush. Some of it is warranted but most of it isn't. If anyone can make a comeback its Bush. He hasn't done any fighting back yet since the new team has been assembled (Bolton and Snow. I have a hunch he will let everyone have his/her negative say and come back swinging. He starts Monday w/ the press conference. I hope he follows through. Even though Bush 41 lost his reelection bid he recovered from a 29% approval rating. Maybe it is a Bush thing.
-President's policy on immigration is too weak.
-Agree with the President's policy on immigration.
-President's policy on immigration is too harsh.
-President's policy on war in the Middle East is too weak.
-Agree with the President's policy on war in the Middle East.
-President's policy on war in the Middle East is too harsh.
etc.
Weight these responses as (+1) for too weak, (0) for agree, and (-1) for too harsh and sum them up. 0 is "middle of the road" (not necessarily the place to be but a place to gauge whether the President is striking a balance between conflicting positions on his policies).
If conservatives and liberals "disagree" on the President's policy, the media is being dishonest to portray the "disagreement" as any sort of unity between the conservatives and liberals on a policy.
