Slip sliding away

Bush keeps sinking

Published on August 5, 2005 By thatoneguyinslc In US Domestic

New poll numbers were published today showing that dubya's approval ratings are dropping yet again.

His overall job approval rating is at 42%. There have been previous presidents with lower scores (Nixon and Truman during their last terms for example). But the telling sign is his approval rating on his handling of the Iraq war. His rating in this department has slipped to a Johnson-like 38%.

I think the chickens are finally coming home to roost on poor dubya. His solution? Going on yet another vacation in Crawford.

There's a difference between a Congressional recess and extended vacations Shades. Go to your local Rep or Senator's webpage and most of the time they have a calendar.

What exactly are you referring to as extended vacation? We are currently in an August recess, and I doubt very much that the entire congress is on an extended vacation.

Well i mean my senator is on vacation when he should be at least checking in at the office...But then again my senator is Orrin hatch. He's adept at the slacking.

Actually, in Va, the Senators and reps only work 2 months of the year. At least officially. We would be better off if that was all congress worked as well.
