A recent Gallup poll found that 44% of Americans polled would like George W. Bush back as president. Okay, now look, I know times are tough right now, and we might get nostalgic to a time before the economy nearly collapsed, but I don't think this is quite the answer we're looking for. I think it's interesting that a large number of people would be so nostalgic for Bush's presidency, considering that by the time his second term was over that he was in line for being considered one of the worst presidents of all time. I think that this label will stay with him as his overriding legacy as well, not to say that the Bush presidency was 100% terrible.
But I think that this sort of statistic doesn't necessarily mean anything, as it more than likely literally acts as an expression of dissatisfaction with Obama, and not necessarily a wistful look back at Bush's legacy.

WOW. Is this poll legit?? People need to seriously make up their mind. Everybody was mad when Bush was in office, and the people spoke and voted the opposing party into office. The fact that people are STILL mad and are claiming they want Bucsh back in office is absolutely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you, that this statistic doesn't mean much. But the fact that it would be published, and people are claiming to believe this is pure insanity. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
