The President's Approval Goes Down

President Bush has dropped down to below 40% for the first time in the Aplpsos Poll. This happend because everyone thinks he is not doing anything for the high gas prices and the slow recovery of Katrina. Last month the dissaproval rate of the direction the counrty is going was at 59%, this month it is at 65%. So far in the month of September we have seen Katrina and the slow relief efforts, and the high gas prices. I think the reason the United States Citizens are turning against President Bush is because they wittnessed these two things at once. First, we saw the damage from Hurricane Katrina, and then not long after that we saw gas prices around $3. That is no excuss to turn our back on the President.
I find it interesting when people say that President Bush has done so many things that are hurting us as a country than doing anything good. My main question to them is, how in the world can he make everyone happy at once. Yes, we had a huge tagedy with Katrina but no one knew how much the damage would be. Yes, I agree we were a little slow getting to the rescue, but you have to remember this was the worst Natural Disaster we have seen. As far as the gas prices I am not sure exactly why the prices are staying this high, so I think that is something the President should look at and change because there is no reason it should be that high. My question to you all, is if you were the President what would you do if you were in this situation? http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050910024709990002 By: Jessica Hutchison
