What's really interesting about this news article is the virtual huge
storm of fiery comments left in its wake at the USA Today site!! I
copied just one of 'em below, but check out the verbal firestorm going
on between folks there. Almost more interesting than the article, and
it shows that America is boiling like a cauldron out there. The comment
from 'Tony' sounds something like TonyZ !!

Bush at bottom in poll about last six presidents
Americans have a far harsher view of President Bush than of any of his
five most recent predecessors, a new USA TODAY/Gallup poll shows.

USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page reports this afternoon
that 54% of those polled over the weekend said Bush will go down in
history as a "below-average or poor president." Nineteen percent expect
him to be seen as outstanding or above-average, the poorest showing
among the six presidents.

Judged the best among recent presidents: Ronald Reagan.

Reagan was seen as outstanding or above-average by 64%, below-average
or poor by 10%. Bill Clinton ranked second: 45% said he will go down in
history as an outstanding or above-average president.

President Bush "is aware of the public opinion polls," said Dana
Perino, deputy White House press secretary. "He will continue to make
decisions that he believes are in the best interests of the country,
not what will make the polls move up or down."

The telephone poll of 1,009 adults has a margin of error of +/- 3.
percentage points.

More poll results here and here.

GWB is not dumb (he flew the hardest fighter plane there is to fly),
does not lie (a few 60's idiots sold this idea to all you dip---s), and
he speaks like any other Texan with ideas that are very clear. A
brilliant MBA practicing the basis of his training with a great Action
Plan. most of the idiots posting on this site know nothing about "The
Planning Process" and cannot see the results of GWB's picking and
executing the correct option. Just look at the results and work the
"Planning Process" backwards. YES, HE DOES PLAN!!!

Saddam captured...Arafat ignored and he's now gone...Libya gives
in...the leader of the largest radical Muslim country (Pakistan) is
with us....Madilyn Screwbrights one on one talks with N. Korea is now
superceded by six-nations talking with N. Korea ith China controling N.
Korea..on the domestic front:The Economy is booming...job growth is
up...the unemployment rate is the lowest in history. Small business
owners are getting rich...The middle class has graduated to a hiher
level with their 401k plans. Yep, Most of you posting are idiots but
what is really bad is that you don't know it as you walk among us.
