Poll: More Americans blame Bush for 9/11
POSTED: 8:26 a.m. EDT, September 11, 2006

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The percentage of Americans who blame the Bush administration for the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington has risen from almost a third to almost half over the past four years, a CNN poll released Monday found.

Asked whether they blame the Bush administration for the attacks, 45 percent said either a "great deal" or a "moderate amount," up from 32 percent in a June 2002 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

1. I always knew...

Bush AND bin Laden are behind this.

2. kick

3. Interesting. Sounds like 9-11 is slowly turning into a liability, rather

than an asset for the Bush Administration. What will they talk about if they can't talk about 9-11...?

4. where the eff is osama bin laden?

[gully]

9. We could have and should have made it so long ago.

It was a liability from the get go.

5. There is a real disconnect

between what the people believe and what Democratic leaders are willing to say. There always is.

6. It Was Inevitable

It DID happen on Silverspoon's watch.

He is a very unpopular president with low personal likeability numbers.

He has high profile underlings with even lower likeability.

Nothing they are doing is working worth a darn, and it sure isn't meeting the expectations for success that they promised.

They tried to hang this on the Clinton's who had HIGH likeability and an approval rating in the 70's during impeachment.

The american people were bound to come around (except the 25% radical buffoons) that would make blaming a popular president a tough sell for a far less popular one. And, one of them is self-made, rose up from poverty and worked his butt off. The other was a slacker and a lazy punk and never worked a day in his life.

I think it might have been far better for them to have taken the heat and never tried to blame Clinton. Somehow or other, they convinced themselves that Clinton "got impeached" so the people hate him as much as they do.

Of course, the attacks of 9/11 were based upon a similar miscalculation on the part of Al Qaeda, that with Silverspoon in office, the rest of the world hated the United States as much as they did. Both groups of gangsters, al Qaeda and the Bush Mob, were of course, wrong.

16. Excellent analysis, professor.

I would just add that Bush himself is too dim for even Rove to overcome as a liability. Bush simply does not have enough smarts to handle himself without a script. His foot-in-mouth episodes are now gaining more attention.

7. 8/6/01 USA Today Poll

Poll finds most are put off by Bush vacation

CRAWFORD, Texas — Taking a 30-day working vacation at his ranch after six months in office, President Bush is spending too much time away from the White House, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll.

In the poll, which was released Monday, 55% said Bush is taking too much time off. Not that this is a full-fledged vacation, Bush aides insist.

8. I bet those numbers rise after ABC/Disney's Path to 9/11

The propaganda is pretty blatant, and everybody, even the backwash, may start wonder why it is necessary.

[gully]

10. Not given the ratings of the program.

They got beat out by football and the Simpsons. ;)

[glitch]

12. Lol! True, though you don't have to watch it to wonder why they needed to

produce it. Even the politically unaware might start to wonder... but liars never know when to let their lies alone.

[Marr]

11. I agree. It's major impact so far seems to be

that it's made "who's to blame for 9-11?" part of the mainstream discussion. Those far-right myths about the Clinton Administration don't stand up to the light of real examination. They've invited their myths to be debunked on television.

[glitch]

14. I hope it outrages enough of the few remaining reality-based on television

to come out with their debunkings in strong, unequivocal statements now. No pussyfooting, it is long overdue time to call the liars "LIARS".

13. Bush-bin Laden

A socially dysfunctional, co-enabling couple. Who benefits from the GWOT? Bush-bin Laden. Both have a vested interest in seeing terrorism spread.

[Justice Is Comin]

15. Wait until the real bombshells

of the phase two report. I hope they're preparing the indictment for Roberts right now as a co-conspirator to obstruct justice.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

18. What phase two report? Do you have a good link to a MSM news story

about it?

[Justice Is Comin]

22. There are so many. Here's just a brief overview.

Phase 2 has five parts. They finally forced the republicans to release the first two, which showed bush lied about the intelligence.

The three that have been stonewalled by Roberts will show how Bush manipulated the intelligence. That's where the real bombshells are and Roberts is doing everything in his power to prevent it from being investigated.

17. about fucking time

19. MSNBC poll says 59%

20. nice, but an internet poll is not dependable since now I can go and

vote and others who see it can go and vote and some people may even be able to rig a way to vote twice.

[rman]

21. People seeing it and voting doesn't make it undependable

After all, the point of the poll is to have people vote on it.

And it's not trivial to find a way to have your vote counted more than once.
