The public thinks the federal deficit will grow larger by the end of President Bush's second term
and many people think the health care system will be weaker by then, according to a CBS-New York
Times poll.

Seven in 10 said in the poll released Friday that they expect the deficit to grow larger by the end
of his presidency. Four in 10 said they think health care will be worse, while half said they expect
it will be about the same.

Bush is viewed unfavorably by 48 percent and viewed favorably by 37 percent as he prepares for his
sixth State of the Union address next week. The poll of 1,229 adults was taken Jan. 20-25 and has
a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

1. Hey, he's "the war president"........

all that other stuff can wait for a Democrat to clean up. He's just too busy keeping us safe to do that other junk. :rofl:

Yeah. I feel SOOOOO safe with cement-head at the helm! :eyes:

2. Well, OF COURSE, it will. Congress will be asked to raise the debt

ceiling ABOVE $8.8 TRILLION next month in order to prevent the country from essentially going bankrupt, e.g., pay its bills, issue treasury notes (read, DEBT), etc., and Congress will comply.

The sky's the limit. After all, it's YOUR money . . .

3. Yet in the MSM, he's still "the President," given a free ride...

with no accountability.
