I noticed that, too, about a year ago. I think he has basically been on auto-pilot since the 2004 election.

President Bush yesterday used his weekly radio address to urge listeners to support the immigration deal reached by a handful of senators last week, even as new poll numbers showed the immigration issue is hurting Mr. Bush's job-approval ratings....
But the deal is too harsh for some lawmakers, and not strict enough for others. Its fate could depend on whether senators, and the voters who elected them, view the deal as an amnesty for the estimated 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the country....
Meanwhile, a new Rasmussen Reports poll found Mr. Bush's approval rating dropped to an all-time low for that poll, at 34 percent.
"The president's ratings have tumbled each time immigration reform dominates the news," Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, said in his analysis.
Mr. Rasmussen said that his polling last year, after Mr. Bush gave an Oval Office address laying out his plans for more border enforcement and giving illegal aliens a path to citizenship, found only 39 percent supported the president's position.
I think we will see some other amnesty politicians fall in the polls.

If I could buy some puts on Bush’s popularity trendline on Monday, I’d be able to retire by Wednesday or Friday at the latest.
The worst part is he think’s he doing something noble. Or maybe with his Bushisms he got confused with serving nobility.
So someone said, do an amnesty for the nobility. And he thought, yes I’ll do something noble for my legacy. I’ll free the indentured slaves of America.
No one told him he’s triple the number of indentured servants in country.
Why should Bush worry about job approval ratings? Even if they dropped down to zero it would make no difference to him.
Well, he did get some tax cuts passed, what, 4 years ago. Considering he is a Republican and had a Republican Congress, no huge achievement.
to start:
1.This immigration plan he endorses
2.Not pardoning the border patrol agents after unusually
vigorous prosecution (granting immunity to an illegal
drug runner)
3. Not standing up for the Haditha Marines - letting them
be shackled in prison while awaiting trial
4. Letting Scooter Libby be prosecuted for nothing
5 Letting Sandy Burgler off the hook
6. Doing nothing apparently about closing the border
You forgot the prescription drug/Medicare spending. Also, the other amazing, breath-taking federal spending.
As do I, steven.
Don’t they know that illegal gay mexicans are sneaking over our border and unplugging our brain dead women?

This is bad enough for Americans, but how would you like to be an Iraqi citizen, and know that your family’s ability to survive the next few years might depend on the political strength of George Bush and the Republicans?
That has always been my #1; what a dumbass to keep any, and to keep Tenet! #8 Harriet Meirs(sp) for SCOTUS.
...in our dreams...the democrats will build it...in our dreams.
Nope, not gonna do it...
7..not getting the tax cuts made permanent
Good one.
It does seem two different leaders. Three of my neighbors came down. We hardly ever talk politics. This day was different. All we talked about was this immigration bill. The two main points we emphasized was, 1)how can President Bush not know this will destroy his Presidency and 2) we want the borders closed. I am calling my other senator in the morning. We are very scared of what our traitors in Congress will do. This week could determine the fate of our Republic. I have never been so sickened by our so called leaders, as I have been over this issue. It just doesn't make sense.
I still admire President Bush.
CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them.
