I'm looking for Bush's Report Card in his 2nd 100 Days by CNN. Can you help me?
I'm extremely tired of the endless polling, the grading, and the negativity in reference to this Presidency as it is presented by CNN day in, day out, 24/7.

I don't recall such grades being passed out on Bush during his Presidency, and I'm trying to figure out why Bush was not held to any scrutiny, while this guy was President and with this President, each time he scratches his ass, there's a story how he didn't do it quite right.

Does anyone have a link in where CNN is grading President Bush in his 2nd 100 days? I'd love to see it.

In addition, CNN is not reporting on the GOP Mobs for what they are. They are reporting on them as grassroots organization out to make a difference. :eyes:

I realize that they are not really a News Network and all, but since many don't know this, I'm holding them to some kind of standard, which evidently, is impossible.

3. You will not find it because they didn't do it.
No one did, they were to busy propping up a President that wasn't actually elected, and had horrible pole numbers from the start. That is until 9:11.

4. They didn't do one. But they also may spend more time on Obama because
he is way more interesting and draws in #'s. Kind of a love/hate relationship with our President. I do agree the constant grades are ridiculous, what is he, a little kid?

6. they wanted to do one. but he was on vacation.

7. Polls of the time indicate a relentless loss of support...The Mooning in Sweden,
the poor performance of Bush w re to the economy, etc .... made the nation kinda nervous bout W

He had shit to offer...

Aug 6th....warning from a bridge too far....The Bushies did nothing to warn us or the pertinent agencies....it was like they wanted some incident to happen....

This was the Worst America ever had as a supposed Leader....he knows very little...very shallow....hates to read, doesn't know tools, not curious, just a reg ole rich fuckup who made it to the top. a real crony...Bush is worse than Idi Amin ever was.

8. It's their way of capitalizing on his popularity - Obama = ratings... this speaks louder than their
insistence that his popularity is falling. Yeah... then why are you trying to use him for ratings???

11. I called them when they had on the 2 hacks who wrote a book
about the 2008 election.

They went on and on about how Obama is finding it harder to govern than when he campaigned.

I called them and told them that most of Obama's campaign wasn't necessarily aimed at
picking the economy off the floor! Until September, he campaigned on the fact that we
would fix the economy that was wrong, but little did he realize just how wrong it had all gone.

So he saves the fucking country from the Abyss, and this is how he is thanked...
Some on-line Poll touted by Corporate owned CNN and freeped by the GOP maniacs.\
How cool is that? :mad:

12. It's obviously in cnn's best interests to
have facists like bush or mcpalin in office..but they have no fucking clue how bad it could get when not too many could buy their fucking cabal(yes) service or products aka their sponsors.

Fucking leaches and vampires running the corporatemedia.

10. Chandra Levy/Gary Condit is all I remember from that time. There
was very little coverage of Bush that I can recall.

13. Of course, the news was about the Bad Democrat who had killed his Intern!
I remember...

that and Shark Attacks and fake storms (where the reporter gets in the worse of it with a windbreaker on and "selflessly" reports while holding on for dear life!).

:eyes:

16. Joe Scarborough's intern was found dead that same summer -
not a word in the media that I recall.

OMG, I forgot about the sharks! You're right, there were endless news stories about the shark attacks.

Meanwhile, Bush ignored a PDB.....

Edited on Wed Aug-05-09 05:12 PM by 4lbs
Which was his 70th day of vacation, or thereabouts.

That's an automatic F.

20. are those just FIRST 100 days though, not the 2nd?
Sorry if those links do go to the 2nd 100 days of Bush, CNN's website always screws up my computer, so I don't want to follow the links.

21. oops, I misread the original post ...
I saw that Tucker Carlson was quoted as saying that we'd have to wait until day 175 to analyze Bush's first 100 days. (maybe T.C. made a funny about Bush taking so much vacation?)

Sorry ...

22. only references I get with "CNN Bush second 100 days"
that actually had to do with Bush's second 100 days was an online poll by someone else ... to "predict" Bush's report card.
