Worst President ever! Worst President ever!

A lot of people (read: liberals) have been making a huge deal about recent poll numbers regarding President Bush's approval rating. Granted, it's not very good, hovering right around 40%, but comparatively, it's really not so bad.

Bill Clinton, everyone's favorite President (by everyone I mean aging hippies, Hollywood, Europe, and one of my aunts) had approval ratings of 37%.

Jimmy Carter — who really is, by most accounts, the worst president ever — went all the way down to 28%. That's only a few points higher than Richard Nixon — and he had Watergate!

Truth of the matter is, the American people are fickle. After about 5 or 6 years of something, we tire of it and want something new.

People are also touting the low number of Americans (28%) that believe America is going in the 'right direction.' Why, it hasn't been that low in 10 years! George W. Bush is the worst president ever!

10 years ago, it was 1995. Anyone who can tell me who was President in 1995 gets a cookie. And just what is the 'right direction' anyway? What a loaded question that is.

And honestly, polls don't really matter anyway. As I've said before, most people only answer polls with what they think they're supposed to say. The only polls that really count are the ones in November, and we can see how those have been going.
