That's all true and I agree with it. But over 60% of Americans disaprove of his job performance. They don't beleive in him anymore. He can change that, but until he does, most people can see he can't do much.

No way we allow Israel to go under....we will defend them...poll numbers be damned.

Polls are a reflection of the moment. Minds change. Even the MSM would change its tune if Iran attacked Israel. The real danger is if Iraq thinks you're right. That is, if Iraq thinks Bush cannot lead. This is similar to other episodes in our history, and I'd remind all that many dictators in history have under estimated the American political dynamic. Just as Churchill was once considered down and out, Bush could come back too. The media may want to consider how much harm they're doing as they run incessant anti-Bush pieces that are a) lies, b) propaganda for our enemies, and c) dangerous and delusional.

There is a BIG difference between CAN'T do much (implying the physical inability to do something) and WON'T do much. The President is still the Commander in Chief and, thank God, does not seem to govern based on opinion polls. I think he means what he says, as he usually does, and can easily get the job done polls be damned.

And the only reason he's ever been real popular in the polls is because of the attack on 9/11. But, as the 2004 election proved, when it comes to being a Chief Executive, George W. Bush gets a majority of the vote. And elections are the most reliable polls developed so far.
