History has just been made. A new poll finds that 71 percent of Americans disapprove of the way that George W. Bush has done his job as President of the United States. That’s record-breaking. CNN quotes its polling director as saying,
“No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup Poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president’s disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark.”
Even Richard Nixon didn’t have this many people disapprove of him. Not even on the day he resigned.
Resignation. That’s a good word for what’s going on in America – and for what should go on instead.
Under George W. Bush, Americans have become resigned to a failed government and to international embarrassment.
What should have happened instead? Instead of the American people becoming resigned, George W. Bush should have resigned. Even Tricky Dick Nixon had the decency to resign. Even President Nixon had more integrity than President Bush.
So, we think the bumper sticker you see makes a pretty good one to mark the final year of the presidency of George W. Bush: At least Nixon resigned.
