Republicans Unnerved by Paralyzed Presidency: Albert R. Hunt
By Albert R. Hunt
(Bloomberg) --
There's a number that chills Republicans: 616.
That's how many days remain in the Bush administration.
Private conversations with Republicans throughout America reveal doom
and gloom about a politically paralyzed presidency and party.
The on-the-record observations are almost as bleak.
``There's a lot of nervousness up here,'' says U.S. Representative Ray
LaHood of Illinois.
``It's a very difficult time for Republicans.''
LaHood was one of 11 House Republicans who met with President George
W. Bush this past week to tell him the party was in political peril.
``Unfortunately, the big issues will not be dealt with between now and
the next election,'' says Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina.
``The country doesn't believe George W. Bush, it doesn't trust him,
and with 19 months to go it's only going to get worse,'' predicts Ed
Rollins, a Republican strategist who ran Ronald Reagan's 1984
presidential campaign.
``There is nothing the president can do to get his (poll) numbers back
up.''
According to those polls, almost two-thirds of Americans disapprove of
Bush's job performance; that is Richard Nixon territory.
A majority of the public approved of the performance of the last two
lame-duck presidents, Reagan and Bill Clinton, at this same stage in
their administrations.
Daily Embarrassments
While the other major democracies have, or are about to have, new
leaders, America is mired in a rudderless status quo.
A new embarrassment or scandal -- Alberto Gonzales, Paul Wolfowitz,
Karl Rove -- seems to surface daily; the only good news for the White
House is that occasionally these stories overshadow the bad news
coming out of Iraq.
Bush is reviled around much of the world, has precious little
political capital at home, and seems surrounded by hacks or the
forgettable and faceless.

Yeah, we thought that he would get rid of Gonzo the Incompetent but he keeps
him pissing of more voters daily. He could have gotten rid of Wolfowitz and
his lady of the evening but he kept him pissing of more voters daily. He
could have fixed New Orleans but, ...
Why would we want to control him? His instincts make him the worst
president ever. Don't change a thing!

He's a great example for the kids. I always tell them to study harder
and stay off drugs and alcohol, or you could end up like Bush.
