President George W. Bush’s 67th birthday passed quietly on Friday, but he did receive his share of well wishes on Twitter, along with one encouraging note from the folks at National Review. Despite continuing to shoulder the blame for just about every failure of the current administration, Bush currently enjoys a higher approval rating than President Obama.

Nice to see the ever-classy Laura by his side. Oh, and Reggie by the president’s. Shout out to better halves.
Hell, Satan probably has higher approval #s than the magic Kenyan.
The numbers don't lie. Yes, politically motivated voters came out and voted with a vengeance, but turnout was lower overall in Republican areas. There are a lot of voters who simply weren't inspired to come to the polls. We saw white turnout down, while black turnout went up. There was a real drop off from 2004 numbers when we won with Bush on the ticket. As I said, for whatever faults Bush had, he and his team got the base out in record numbers. We haven't seen that in 2008 and 2012 because we've had candidates that basically assumed the base would just show up while they go get the independents. That approach fails every time it is tried.
