Bush the elder was at +90% approval rating after the first Gulf War. Look what good that did him.

agreed- the nation will not put up with $6/gallon gas and high unemployment....then again the GOP has blown a golden opportunity to date...

“Bush the elder was at +90% approval rating after the first Gulf War. Look what good that did him.”

Leftists and other assorted liberals were still pissed at Reagan and Bush for starting the AIDs epidemic.

Yes,

And I’m glad this happened now because Americans have such short attention spans that by November of next year they will have forgotten about this.

Exactly! The recession in 1991 would be downright rosy compared to today.

Bush I lost because the media turned on him. They reported the 1991 economic downturn.

Will the media ever report anything negative on Obama? Will they report food or gas prices? No.

Sorry, but Obama will coast to re-election because the media doesn't care if gas goes up to $70 a gallon.

you know its pretty bad going if it only takes a dead muslime to give ya a bump in the polls. LOLOL

That was my first thought, too — and THAT victory was in a WAR that 41 had a much greater role in executing. I don’t fault Obama, but he basically initialed a piece of paper letting Seal Team 6 go do its thing.
