Bush's shrinkage and some history
George W. Bush's current job approval rating is somewhere in the range of 49% (Fox, for example, shows him at 48%). The buzz is that he'll go into his second inaugural with the lowest job approval of any two-term president in the 80 years of presidential polling.
Richard Nixon, just after his re-election in 1972, held the weight of a collapsing Vietnam fiasco along with early rumblings over something called "Watergate". His job approval numbers in this same late December period, however, were at a respectable 59% and didn't drop below 49% until April 1973 when Watergate broke for real.
In terms of "popular" two-termers, Ronald Reagan held a 59% approval rating in this period. President Clinton was even better in late December 1996 when CNN showed him at 64% and Gallup just one point lower than Reagan at 58%. Eisenhower bested them all with a 75%, then again Ike never once dipped below 51%.
Nixon eventually found himself with a 24% after America discovered what this guy was all about. It's a shame that American voters tend to see the light only after it's too late. Will the "too late" this time around be a pathetic (yet bloodless) cover-up like Watergate or a far more deadly trespass?

So I just saw this unreal site. It had these co-eds...that can't possibly be real chicks?!?!?!
But there were so many unbelieveable lesbian movies to check out. I mean hot and crazy horny college chicks.
They seemed to not get enough from their boyfriends, so would do each other in the dorms as well. Who would have thought?
Don't believe me, check out their amazing lesbian movies!
