Gallup: George W. Bush’s Approval Rating Hits 9-Year High, 53%…
Which is six points higher than Hussein Obama.
Quote: Americans view each of the four former living presidents more positively than negatively, while giving Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush higher favorable ratings than George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. Current President Barack Obama has a net-negative favorable rating.
The younger Bush’s current favorable rating is likely lower than other former presidents’ ratings because his term, marked by job approval ratings well below 40% during his final two years in office, is the freshest in Americans’ minds.
Though Carter left office with similarly poor job approval ratings, his lower favorable ratings today are mostly attributable to one in six Americans not having an opinion of him. That includes 36% of those younger than 30, all of whom were born after Carter left office in 1981. The only other time Gallup measured opinions of Carter with this question format, in 2007, 69% rated him favorably, 27% unfavorably, and 4% had no opinion. [...]
George W. Bush appears to be reaping the public opinion benefits of being a former president. His current 53% favorable rating marks the first time it has been above the majority level since 2005, early in his second term as president.

History will leave Obama in the 20 percent range.

history will judge GWB's presidency with much more favor than he is currently viewed.
the "bush doctrine" will become the rule for presidents that are not afraid of their own shadow.

But but but....I've got nothing. Obama give a great speech but after so long a great speech doesn't get very far.

There is a reason his father has a high rating. He knew what the meaning of "blood and treasure" when it came to foreign policy.

Sounds right...he can't screw things up sitting in Dallas, hanging around with Larry Brown at SMU games.
I approve of his not being in the White House.

Governing by speeches, leading from behind and blaming everyone else is Obama's legacy.

Intelligence test:
Who would you prefer to be in the WH today, Bush or Obama?
