i'll bet mom is so proud! she always said, "if you're going to do something, do the best possible job of it that you can." by golly, george is looking to hit #1, with a bullet!

Can we say yet that he is the most unpopular president ever?

Give him a few months more....being unpopular is the best thing he does. With his learning curve I am sure he will wind up in the teens just before he is impeached.

The public is smarter than it looks.

Also the conservatives have been troubled by him for some time. He is a radical, or relies on radicals to advise him. In either case it's the same: failure and instability.

The corporations recent pressure on Bush regarding global warming represents a big shift.

I wonder what poll number would force his impeachment.

19% or 20%?

ABC News, however, has learned new details of what remains a classified incident that has been dealt with at the highest levels of government.

Such breaking news on the WOT...and right before the State of the Union speech. WOW. Those poll numbers are going up as I write this.

His SOTU will downplay Iraq and Afghanistan and the deaths and maimings of tens of thousands of US troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and give heavy emphasis to all of the domestic economic progress his administration has made...

While public opinion has become implacably opposed to a continuation of the war, the Bush White House is proceeding not merely to continue, but to expand it, dispatching additional troops to Iraq, positioning additional air and naval forces in the Persian Gulf, and openly threatening to extend the conflict to Iran and Syria in an increasingly desperate bid to salvage military victory out of the debacle.

The principal enabler of the Bush administration's military adventurism is the congressional Democratic leadership, which claims to oppose the escalation of the war in Iraq but has renounced the two constitutional methods for forcing the executive branch to halt the bloodbath: cutting off funds for the war or impeaching and removing Bush from office.

The Democrats seek to balance between the mass opposition to the war--which produced their electoral victory last November--and the policies of an administration whose basic aims and goals in the Middle East they share.

The World Socialist Web Site and the International Committee of the Fourth International call on all socially conscious workers, students and youth throughout the world to dedicate 2007 to the development of an international mass working class movement against the American-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Scant evidence found of Iran-Iraq arms link

President Bush promised to "seek out and destroy" Iranian networks that he said were providing "advanced weaponry and training to our enemies." He is expected to strike a similar note in tonight's State of the Union speech.

For all the aggressive rhetoric, however, the Bush administration has provided scant evidence to support these claims. Nor have reporters traveling with U.S. troops seen extensive signs of Iranian involvement. During a recent sweep through a stronghold of Sunni insurgents here, a single Iranian machine gun turned up among dozens of arms caches U.S. troops uncovered. British officials have similarly accused Iran of meddling in Iraqi affairs, but say they have not found Iranian-made weapons in areas they patrol.
