1. Those who voted "No" thought he should be under the ground.
...about six feet, that is.

8. He should never have gone there
As we know from so many reports, his presence halted all reliefv efforts. No helicopters were allowed to fly, food and water distribution was stopped except as part of his photo-op. He should have been COMMANDING the relief efforts. Not interferring with them. Providing security every time he shows up just takes personnel away from the needed work in the Gulf Coast.

10. He should not have been on the ground in New Orleans.
At least not during the first week. He would just have been in the way of REAL disaster relief efforts. He should have been at the White House, BEFORE the hurricane hit, being a REAL commander in chief. What did he do instead?

He consumed valuable oxygen in Crawford, hosted highly partisan "town meetings" in Arizona, talked about WWII in San Diego... oh yes, and he flew over New Orleans in Air Force One, where he was photographed looking pensively out the window.

I almost forgot, he visited Mississippi and said he eagerly awaited being able to visit Trent Lott's rebuilt home. How extraordinarily helpful and sympathetic.

He is so worthless.

11. Doesn't matter - his work should have been done years before hand
Had he appointed someone competent and made adequate allocations to FEMA and levy rehabilitation he wouldn't have been needed in NOLA - even for a PR stunt. He could've given a heartfelt primetime address and said he was staying out of the way. Instead, he botched it so bad that the only thing left to do was damage control and Rovey thought it would be brilliant to send numbnuts down there without a script. :rofl:

12. so that'e the base...35%
It is very clear to em that 35% of Americans are either evil, greedy, racist scumbags or absolutely ignorant morons. 35% is the base for the GOP. Good ridens. Rot in hell>

13. Over 207 thousand respondents. That's lots of interest.
Even though the poll is not a random sample, it strongly suggests that about 35% of "We the People" would support * even if he were proved to be the anti-Christ.
