......this is the percentage of Americans who believe this country is worse off today than it was before Bush became president. Story here.

No pity. I have none to offer the portion of the electorate who refused to honestly look at the record of George W. Bush before giving him a passing grade in November of 2004. In 2004 we still had no plan to leave Iraq or for that matter to stabilize it. We still don't. Much is unchanged about the state of the nation as it was in late 2004.

The question is, if a sitting president is this unpopular, what can be done to replace him. It seems extremely unfair that a majority of the country must continue to live under the presidency of George W. Bush.
