In His First Televised Interview in Quite Some Time, President Bush Explains Himself
February 28, 2006Today, President Bush met with Elizabeth Vargas for an interview that aired on World News Tonight on ABC. In his first television interview in quite a long time, President Bush explains his position on the controversial DP World ports deal, reiterates his anti-oil sentiment, “…including changing how we drive cars, getting unhooked from oil,” and even explains his exact stance on abortion with his three exceptions: “rape, incest, and the life of the mother.” The President states that unemployment rates are at 4.7%, which is one of the lowest rates in history and that the economy is at a healthy level. With the nation’s polls leaving the President at a low 37% approval rate, what are some ways he, and his cabinet, can bring that rating up?
Simply, he can’t. His approval rating will not go up; his administration is too mired in controversy. The real question to ask (and perhaps the only question that really matters is: Does it all really matter? Will a sub-par approval rating stop conservatives from voting conservatively? Not likely.
I totally agree! I don’t think polls really affect the way anyone votes. This country is basically a political bi-partisan football game…and we are going to root for whoever our party is. Plain and simple…
