Personally, I don't know anybody who loves Bush. Even those who support his agenda and believe that he means well (don't we all) do not approve of the way he is going about it.

And I do not believe his ratings have rebounded for a second. Nothing has happened to justify it. We are every bit as badly off as we were before they allegedly rose. His ratings were so dangerously low, I believe Rove and his ilk started a propaganda campaign. They hope if it is repeated enough, people will believe it. That's called the availability heuristic.

If it works, it will only be temporary. He MUST produce results. He gets no high marks from me for dropping the rosy-outlook spin ploy because it implies that he's been lying to us all this time and it reveals just how bad things really are.
