ORLANDO, Fla. - President Bush, his approval ratings at a record low, acknowledged Wednesday that war in Iraq and rising gas prices have created "battle fatigue" among many Americans.
That anxiety, Bush said, has settled over much of the nation as people worry about whether the United States will succeed in Iraq and how they will afford to fill up their tanks.
"There's a sense of disquiet because of the war in Iraq," said Bush, in an hour-long interview with the Orlando Sentinel and six other Florida newspapers.

Ask Richard Nixon! LOL!
Oh how I agree with that. Anwr should be drilled, to hell with the grass and mosquitos.
I can't. Didn't you know? He died.
Birchite?.. The John Birch Society is becoming more and more accurate as the day(s) goes on.. Course the Birchers were mainly conserned with Socialism(communism) which does lie at the base of whats happening now... The Globalists trump the communists(socialists) today.. However the socialists always wanted a World Republic of Socialism..
Booosh is a Globalist you see.. NO?... PROVE IT...
His actions prove it.. by domestic politics.. WHY? America is the last holdover against Global governance... When America goes global governence will happen.. URP is already on board.. as is China and Russia..
I know its a mystery to YOU how illegal and legal aliens in America serve that end.. but it/they does/do..
We all just go off half-cocked. See what we want to see. Then say what we want to say.
Free Republic has been turned into a Free For All....
I'm sure you realize that every time you throw that out (you do it all the time) you're calling him a liar? Sure you do.
Anything yall can do to fix things?
Of course they are ... once again, Bush took a major hit on Katrina because he was portrayed as being clueless by the liberal MSM. He set himself up for the hit needlessly.
I'm sure you believe that.....
One of Patton's famous quotes was "A commander must command".
GWB has lost command on many issues. A real leader would not give up on ANWR over a few liberal voices, no, the RINO's and him all backed down.
ANWR and domestic drilling after 9/11 should have been a top priority, not a slogan.
If the Republicans lose in November, they are not going to conclude that the base is sending them a message on illegal immigration.
They are going to blame it on Iraq and gas prices ... and maybe even a lack of Latino votes.
Actually, I've been trying to avoid these threads and don't know why I dropped into this one. I'm thinking these threads are similar to Iraq. The boss is drawing them them all together for a reason.:')
He already spoke and laid out his plan, a path to citizenship, no fence, no national guard = No More Votes From Me For Anyone Who Supports Him in his plan.
Is it really possible that he's this far out of touch with whats going on with his base? If he is then the Repubs are in even worse trouble than I thought. Close the damned border! Now!
He lied only if you believe your mother lied to you when she told you she had to look under the bed to make sure there were no spooks there.
Bush has to treat the media, Bill O'Reilly, and Democrats like children.
And some Republicans, apparently.
Nominee for a thread hijack award. Reply #2, less than 120 seconds. Reference reply #63.
"....low interest rates and tax cuts into the economy has not achieved the job and stock economy of Clinton."
Would you want the Clinton economy back? If so, you must be kidding yourself. I wouldn't want to go back to that house of cards.
Oh, good grief...
GEESH...Lord knows we get ENOUGH of that already. Every FREAKING T.V. station with a weatherdork breaks-in to local programming when there's a drop of rain...or the wind puffs.
We can have a storm 200 miles from here...and it's 4 hours of talking about wall clouds, wrapped this and that, hail the size of pea's/marbles/golfballs..etc..etc..We get lame pictures of dark clouds...( Yes, Virgina...rain storms have "dark clouds"..) And eyewitness accounts of what? RAIN!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sick of it!!!!
Thank-you, rant off
