Question for Freepers tuned in to public opinion:

Over the last few days I have read several analyses by angry libs who say that Bush's Baghdad trip will "backfire," like his carrier landing. They imply that that event was a PR disaster that turned the public against him. Aside from the hurt feelings of screeching leftists, I am not aware that the carrier landing and speech from the flight deck was anything other than a great moment for W. Did I miss something?

No, that's pretty much the way I saw it too.

I'll tell you what, the speech on the carrier will not connect in the heads of most Americans with the landing in the flight suit. The dems just can't quite seem to connect the two and each time they try, they show Dubya in that testosterone soaked flight suit and nobody hears a thing the dems have to say after that.

Men, women, it doesn't matter, everyone reacted to him sauntering away from that plane with his helmet tucked under his arm.

This morons actually think the carrier landing backfired!
