Bush Out of Touch? No Kidding!
I’m glad people are starting to finally wake up to the fact that there are more pressing issues facing our country than private retirement accounts, Terri Schiavo, and the christian right’s hot button issues.
Six in ten Americans say the president does not share their priorities, while just 34 percent say he does - the lowest numbers for Mr. Bush since the eve of his first inauguration….
… Although he’s spent months on the road campaigning for Social Security reform, Mr. Bush still gets only a 26 percent approval rating for his handling of the issue and the public remains skeptical about his signature plan for private Social Security accounts. - CBS
What are the more pressing issues?
Ohhhhhhh, I don’t know……. There’s that little mess we got ourselves into in Iraq, sky high healthcare costs, a stagnant economy, North Korea and their ‘My First Nuclear Missle&tm;’ game, deteriorating and underfunded schools, jobs still being shipped overseas on a daily basis, some guy named bin Laden still roaming around, our unprotected ports & borders, global warming, Iran and whatever the hell they’re doing, feeding the hungry ………..
And those are just off the top of my head.
Clearly not as important as making sure those darn gays can’t marry, but it’s all about priorities!
Pretty good for just off the top of your head. :P
