Bush's Approval Ratings will not recover - there will be no comeback

I’ve already seen the so-called “narrative of comeback” being bandied about in the mainstream media. They tell us that the story line is supposed to go: 1. Rise 2. Fall 3. Comeback. Now that George Bush has suffered the fall, the media now gets busy writing the comeback. There are two problems with this.

First, this isn’t a movie. The media is supposed to report what happens, not write a pre-ordained script. We’re in serious times; we need our reporters to be serious people. Not a bunch of second-rate wannabe script writers. The country isn’t your amusement park. Do your job – report the facts!

Second, Bush isn’t going to make a comeback. He’s fallen and he can’t get up.

<snip>

How much clearer do I have to be? Why am I going this far out on the limb? Because I know I’m right. There can be temporary blips that improve the President’s poll numbers for awhile, there can be some fleeting good news and some fake milestones accomplished. But none of that will change the fact that this man is not up to the job.

He is lazy, uninterested and incompetent. He views the presidency as homework. He seems to enjoy politics (at least while he’s up), but he doesn’t enjoy policy. He is detached from decision making and his decision makers have led him dangerously astray. Finally and most importantly, he doesn’t care to get it right.

George W. Bush will never put in the long hours to make sure we have the right policy in Iraq, in the war on terror, in the budget or anything else that concerns actual governing. He finds these things to be tedious. In reality, they are essential to the job of being President. He is overmatched.

And when you’re overmatched, you don’t put together second half comebacks. You get crushed.

1. I've been waiting for a long, long time for the truth to come out exactly

like it has in this article. A long time. It seems like forever.

2000 was so long ago. To think that the imbecile that masquerades as the President and his criminal cabal have held this country by the throat (with the willing help of the media both television and written) makes me sick. We owe the internet and a very very few of our elected reps a huge debt for getting us through the times of propaganda and lies.

2. True. I love the way this guy tells it like it is. n.t

3. Ouch! Boy, he sure nailed the chimperor.

Sounds like many a rant here on DU.

4. I can see no event or chain of events.......

that could rally support for the giggling murder monkey. As said, perhaps a temporary blip in the polls where his approval rating may once again approach 45% or so, but there is nothing that is going to recapture his "glory years".
He was always a one trick pony. 9/11 was the only thing that ever took his fat out of the fire and he milked that for all it was worth. Talk about politicizing a catastrophe? Even if there were to be a similar horrific event I don't think the American people would ever put their total trust in him again. He's left too large a slime trail from the first event, it's not hard to see through his bullshit now.
Hopefully this means that the neo-con agenda is DOA in Congress as well. We just need to bide our time until the American people came back to their senses and elect Democrats to handle the nation's business. That's an awful lot of "time biding" though. The thought of three plus more years of this nitwit in the Oval Office frightens the hell out of me.

10. This is simply incredible!

Now I am off to read the comments! Thank you for posting this. It made my day! :)

George Bush is the Arizona Cardinals. His team is terrible and he refuses to change any of his players. He doesn’t have the personality suited for making necessary changes. Quickly adjusting to changing circumstances is not his forte, stubbornness is. Even if he had the inclination to make a change, he doesn’t have the ability. He simply doesn’t know what the hell he is doing.

We’ve been playing most of his speeches and press conferences on our radio show for the last three years. After having listened to him talk about the issues for all that time, there is no polite way to put this – the man is an imbecile.

He is a simpleton who does not grasp complicated circumstances. As sectarian strife between Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds is ripping Iraq apart, he has never once mentioned the competing claims of those groups and explained how they affect our mission in Iraq. There is a good reason for that – he can’t.

I’m confident that if a reporter surprised him tomorrow and asked him what the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite is, he would have no idea.

11. "George Bush is the Arizona Cardinals. "

"His team is terrible and he refuses to change any of his players." Bwahahaha!

I am going to use that around here. It WILL hit home with some folks I work with.

12. I heard the Young Turks last night

They played exerpts from Bush's "we don't do torture" speech and absolutely eviscerated him! It was awesome, and yet horrifying. I don't usually listen to Bush speak, I can't take it. It is really scary to actually hear the bizarre, unbelievable crap that the Chimp spews.

13. "For the love of God, call a spade a spade"

Yes, please do this. It would solve so many issues.

This is a fantastic piece that I think sums up what many of us have known since before commander bunnypants was selected.
