(CBS) It's been a battle worthy of an election year, but President Bush has generated little public enthusiasm for his bold plan to overhaul Social Security, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll.

While the president has spent considerable time and political capital promoting his plan in the first months of his second term, the public’s reaction has been tepid.

Similar skepticism is sweeping Capitol Hill as well, CBS News Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts reports. Republicans Wednesday swung back hard against attacks from retirement groups, including the AARP, which has been campaigning fervently to derail Mr. Bush's plan.

Although Americans agree with the president that the nation's retirement system is in trouble, just 16 percent share his view that it is facing a crisis. Support for his signature proposal to create private investment accounts under Social Security has fallen to a new low (43 percent), while a majority (51 percent) now calls it a bad idea.

1. I'd love to see * blow a gasket and get all snippy about this.

In other words, show his true personality.

2. His Legacy is riding on the OUTCOME...the War being dubious

an all. The Tax cut are now known to be idd advised, and Global Warming is now being confirmed as "Happening" whether we deny it or not....

Bush is starting to look more like the LOSER as his second term begins....the result of "Coming OUT" with such a loser agenda AFTER the ELECTION...which just shows he wasn't forthright with us Americans. The AARP guys are pissed, so are the Vets, Farmers, teachers, researchers, and sick. Medicade is cross hairs on it and the old guys are not happy campers.

So he has to look for something to look good on...

Sad for him, ITS ALL BAD..all the photo ops in the world cannot put Bush on a pedestal in a good light....Its all phoney and even HE KNOWS IT..

Come, we go rant....
