1. The poll that would be more interesting would be
"Will the pResident apolgize on Arab TV"

For that I would have to say no.

This dipshit hasn't apologized for any of his miserable failures to date and it would be surprising if he starts now. I guess if he does, it will be a sure sign that desperation is setting in.

4. I agree!
There is no way he will apologize. If he can't apologize to his own people, he will not apologize to anyone. I wonder if he ever apologizes to his wife Laura after she proves him wrong from time to time.

5. The Opi s DU poll resulted in 94% saying yes Bush should apologize

8. 43% ask what is Cinco de Mayo?
that explains a lot about why the other polls are the way they are.
