Karl dreaming if he thinks W beloved, say pundits


WASHINGTON - President Bush's political wizard Karl Rove must be smoking a peace pipe if he really thinks his boss' only problem with the public is the war in Iraq, many political observers said yesterday.
That was after Rove declared to the conservative American Enterprise Institute that Bush's job approval ratings may be in the dumps, but Americans still like him.

"People like him, they respect him. He's somebody they feel a connection with," Rove said. "They're just sour right now on the war."

One dispirited former top Bush official who admires Rove took vigorous exception to that analysis.

"Bush is down to 30% not because liberals are leaving him but because conservatives are leaving him," he said. "Why are conservatives leaving him? Let me count the ways. The base is furious with him."

11. Let him keep believing ....
... and hopefully if they truly think der Fuhrer is adored by the masses, they won't feel the need to pre-empt the '06 and '08 elections.

SURPRISE, KARL !!!! :evilgrin:

12. Isn't it interesting?
They waged a war in Iraq & Afghanistan so they could give Bush the title of a "war president". This would supposedly catapult him into a rallying point where the entire population would stand behind him.

Thom Hartmann has said that: he wanted to be a wartime president so he would get unanimous support and no one would criticize him.

Now Rove is BLAMING the war in Iraq?

13. "The base is furious with him." Please let that be true but I am not
convinced. "The base" mostly thinks that Bush is next to Jesus and can do no wrong.
