"The country is in a funk some kind of event will have to turn it around"

Uh-oh..."some kind of event"...



With 13 months to go until the November 2006 congressional elections, Republican strategists say there is plenty of time to recover. Bush's approval rating is still better than the lowest rating for any president in the past 40 years.

"Not only is it not unusual for a president to have an approval rating at 38 percent, it's almost predictable," Republican consultant Whit Ayres said. "Every president has rough patches, it says nothing about the ultimate historical judgment."

He said an improvement in gas prices, a dip in violence in Iraq or other good news for Bush could start to brighten his political picture quickly.

"There is no question the country is in a funk and some kind of event will have to turn it around," he said.

3. I love the rationalizing.

"better than the lowest rating for any president", "Every president has rough patches", and my own contribution: "He really doesn't suck too bad." Oh, wait.....

7. He said "some kind of event"...Bush would win either way

1). Gas prices drop by a nickel a gallon = "The economy is STRONG, and gettin' STRONGER"...

2). Something BAD happens, and Bush "protects" us from it...although he'd have to protect us a little better than he "protected" us from Katrina...and Bush wins, because of...well, his "protection."
