Bush's "star" is certainly tarnished in my eyes. It seems he is more concerned about those who DIDN'T vote for him (and probably never will) than all those fine people who were willing to crawl over broken glass to get him elected.
I think he is shooting himself in the foot. If his base deserts him, the libs sure as hell won't come to his aid.
Why should he care? He's rich (nothing wrong with that mind you), and probably doesn't really give a #$%@.
