I think you’re right and what contributes to that unpopularity is the constant bashing of the media and the lack of will on the part of the Administration to counter any wrongs claims. The Bush Administration didn’t want to put up a fight for whatever reason and the people either lost respect or bought into the media’s slanted views. It’s almost a form of tacit consent on the Administration’ part. Maybe they thought they were being high-minded, to sit above the fray or that the criticism would die down... but it hasn’t. It has colored everything and hasn’t left at all.

George Bush has always been a human pinata. He just sits there and lets his enemies beat him about the head. Always has ticked me off bigtime. No fight in the man. Thinks he’s above all that. Well, when you are fighting with street fighters, you better throw out the rules according to Hoyle or get creamed.
