The Glory of Democracy, or, "We Had that Accountability Moment"

[womzilla]

Or, "Dude, Where's My Mandate?"

Adults were evenly divided on Bush's job performance in January, but now 54 percent disapprove and 45 percent approve. The number who think the country is headed down the wrong track increased from 51 percent to 58 percent in the past month.

Or "Buyer's Remorse." Or "Too bad you assholes weren't paying attention in November."

Things I will not do the next time I live through 2004

# reelect George Bush, then patiently wait for him to radically change his foreign and domestic policy

Presumably this (http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-02-11-bush-poll_x.htm) news story?

The fafblog quote was very funny, but it looks as though the public is happy enough with Bush's foreign policy. In the interests of truth rather than humor, I don't think people voted for Bush hoping he'd change what he was doing, they voted for him expecting that his policies would work.

Bush ran on a fear platform--"the rest of the world is scary, and only Bush can keep you safe"--and now he's starting to get people afraid of him with the social security changes he wants.
