Bush Blames Polls on 'Battle Fatigue'

By Dan Froomkin
Special to washingtonpost.com

President Bush yesterday blamed his dismal job-approval ratings not on anything he's done wrong, but on a nationwide case of "battle fatigue" over the war in Iraq, the standoff with Iran and high gas prices.

Bush said he "understands" why Americans are feeling pessimistic about the future -- but he urged them to be patient and said the growing public disapproval over his policies isn't changing his mind about anything.

<snip>

Nevertheless, Bush's message to the Americans remains: The fault is not in the White House, but within yourselves -- and, of course, the media.

Most Americans aren't falling for this crap anymore except the ones who watch Fox.

4. Cain, if I can be so bold, you erred slightly.

because the demographics show that the average age of Fox News viewers is just about 80 yrs, it is not so much that they are viewing the programs, but rather, they are sleeping through them.

21. "He urged them to be...

...patient and said the growing public disapproval over his policies isn't changing his mind about anything."


Colbert had it right, Chimpy believes on Wednesday the same thing he believed on Monday no matter WHAT happens on Tuesday. No events or intoduction of new facts or circumstances could alter his warped view of the world in any way.

22. Or maybe it's a "malaise."

Dems, could you please stomp this jerk!

[Uncle Joe]

24. Give the man a break, Bush knows about "Battle Fatigue",

this is what caused him to desert his national guard unit in Alabama due to the relentless assaults from the Viet Cong and the N.V.A. He still feels remorse for letting Birmingham fall to the communists.
