Bush Is Officially The Most Hated US President Ever [VIDEO]

Posted by Cliff Schecter, Brave New Films at 6:11 AM on November 12, 2007.

Or at least in the history of the Gallup Poll. Even Nixon's disapproval numbers weren't as high during the height of the Watergate crisis.

An interesting breakdown by Dr. Frank Newport of Gallup. Of those who dissaprove (almost two-thirds of us, or all those with a functioning Central Nervous System) 14% somewhat don't like him while 50% flat out hate his sorry ass.

I worked at two different polling firms for the 1996 and 2000 election cycles, and that last number is simply stunning. I don't remember seeing anyone even close to that intensity of hatred.

Heckuva job Bushie!

A lot of good that does. Its obvious that figure hasn't changed one thing. [Report this comment] Posted by: Pepper on Nov 12, 2007 7:04 AM Current rating: 4 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] They simply do not give a sht at all what we think. We are the work horses and cattle they have to put up with for a little while anyway. Soon, if we don't impeach Cheney and Bush 2nd, then we will end up with another false flag and all these small pieces of legislation, presidental directives, executive orders, signing statements will all be enforced under martial law and the whole thing will finally be over. We will be a full fledge dictatorship of a fascist nature. So understand the ramifications of this administration continuing on the way it has. Its serious and we need to IMPEACH NOW.

[Report this comment] Posted by: LeftCoastProgressive on Nov 12, 2007 10:25 AM Current rating: 4 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Our Congress is involved in a criminal conspiracy in not impeaching this President regardless of the political nuances to the contrary. Allowing a thug to misuse and defile the Office of The Presidency soils us all and signals to the world that WE, the American Citizen, are the fools. What kind of person are we, the American voter, sending to Congress? I see a Congress filled with sub-par intellects, criminals, and human dung.Yet we have no immediate recourse. Our letters and e-mails are laughed at by standard dismissive return letters and emails. Our ranting on sites is considered curious but ineffective. Our threats can be considered as evidence for executing secret disappearances. The anger in all our hearts is at a pitch peak. I say to the Congress, start on the road to recovery by impeaching Bush. It would truely benefit the nation, for it would expose and document all of the rottenness and criminality of this thug's administration. This then could be a basis for all future impeachments and expose to the American public what inattention to Washington can produce. A clean slate for the Office of The Presidency must be given to the next President. If nothing is done in the next 14 months, your looking at a possible hateful revolution and cruel violence!

THAT'S what they're afraid of. (Other than the ones on the take from the usual sources!) Gravy train drying up? You betcha. Cross the corporate pigs and you will pay, one way or the other.

You gotta wonder! I mean this idiot bastard's numbers are lower than whale shit---they're almost as low as his college grade average. What in the eternal hell is wrong with that Democratic so-called leadership. Vote for Dennis Kucinich! Write in his name if you have to!
