The best and worst President ever.

I just want to congratulate president George W. Bush for being the Best and the Worst president ever, according to the American public.
When America was attacked and he sent our troops over seas to kick some ass, the housing market was booming, and everybody was making money. 92% of Americans approved of the job he was doing. The highest presidential approval rating ever. We all loved what he was doing, go president Bush keep up the great work.
Now the war is not going as planned, Osama is still running around, greedy Americans have gotten themselves in over their heads on homes, gas prices are out of control, the economy sucks, and it is all his fault, says the American public. Now 19% of Americans approve of the job President Bush is doing. The lowest presidential approval rating ever. 79 % of us hate him and think he has really screwed things up.
How do you feel about your love/hate relationship with president Bush, America?
