Most agree that President Bush bears the greatest responsibility for the catastrophe of the Iraq war. He was the key decision maker at every point (at least I hope that we can assume this).

CNN reports in a new poll by CNN/Opinion Research Corp that the current president, George W. Bush, is the most unpopular president in modern American history. The poll indicates that 71 percent of Americans disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president. “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,” said Keating Holland, CNN’s polling director. CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider adds, “He is more unpopular than Richard Nixon was just before he resigned from the presidency in August 1974.” President Nixon’s disapproval rating in August 1974 stood at 66 percent.

Every time I pay for gas for my vehicle, I picture Bush shrugging his shoulders, saying “the oil company profits are perfectly normal in this market.” Maybe this means more Obamicans?
