Check this out!!!! Notice that two presidents share their names with both lists, three for the top five and more for the top ten! This information reflects data from the Gallup Poll, and that numbers taken from other polling sources may vary.
Top 4 lowest presidential approval ratings:
1. George W. Bush (19%)
2. Harry S. Truman (22%)
3. Richard Nixon (25%)
4. Jimmy Carter (28%)
Top 4 highest presidential approval ratings:
1. George W. Bush (92%)
2. George H.W. Bush (89%)
3. Harry S. Truman (87%)
4. Franklin D. Roosevelt (84%)
Why is George W. Bush at the top of both lists? I wonder where Obama will end up? Yeah his ratings may be high now, but isn't every newly elected president's rating at least over or close to 50%? What if things don’t change for a long time? What will happen to Obama's rating? What if it does go down hill, will you still stand up for your vote, or hide in the corner like 70% of America did for Bush? Why do people blend in and hide when things go bad? Why is it always somebody else's fault? Have you ever heard someone say, “Wow, I screwed that vote up!” Instead its, “That guy is horrible, who ever voted for him is a moron, he really screwed the country up!" Here's a few questions for you. How about Congress? Who voted those people in? Was it your uneducated vote? Did we forget the three branches of Government, how about checks and balances, or maybe the Preamble "We the People....? How about we stand as ONE like it is stated over and over in the Declaration of Independence and then again in the Preamble!!!! Remember just because someone is president does not mean he calls all the shots, That’s called a KING!! Quit being pulled down by ignorance and then blending in when things go bad.
Look at yourself, did you have a part in it, or did you not vote but still complain?
Can anyone answer any of these questions? If so please leave a comment, of course if your not afraid to stand up for what you believe in!
Thank you for your time and your comments!!!!!

I stood by Bush for eight years. During those eight years I watched as his approval ratings went down. He never once waivered on his convictions because people were unhappy with him. That speaks to his character. In the face of adversity he stood for what he believed in. There are not to many people who will do that today.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it is amazing that everyone got ticked off at Bush because of the economy. Now that he is gone everyone is ticked off at the banks even our own government is railing the banking industry and telling them to shape up. Funny thing is, it was congress who passed the bills that forced the hand of the banks to make lousy loans in the first place.
It is time that we the people fire our goverment and elect people who have a back bone and will fight for we the people and not fight for the greenbacks.
I voted for w both times. Two crucial mistakes he made. One he did'nt listen to Colin Powell near enough. He chose to listen to 3 hawks Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz. When their plan failed who left? Powell. This guy forgot more about mideast policy than the other three will ever learn. Second when he FINALLY chose to show Rumsfeld the door he should have asked Powell, who has impeccable defense dept credentials, to come back as sec of defense and use his good standing in the mideast to fix the screwups. However his choice in Gates was very good. I realize hidsight is always 20/20 but at the same time present sight with your head in your butt, which at times I think that's where w's head was, is unacceptable. Overall I think he did ok its just these two mistakes that are unbecoming of a commander in chief
ReplyDeleteWell said, you obviously are an educated voter as well as someone who knows what is going on in our government. I guarantee you there is over 60% of Americans who have no clue who Rumsfeld, and Powell even are, and for that matter Wolfowitz! Thanks for the comment.
