Wisco says:

The piece also tells us:

Half of all Americans, when they look back on Mr. Bush's eight years in office, believe he has been a poor president. Thirty-three percent think he has been an average president. Twelve percent say he has been a good president, and only 5 percent say he has been a very good president...

As for the incoming president, the CBS News poll also asked about expectations of President-elect Barack Obama. Sixty-eight percent think Mr. Obama will be a good or very good president - 25 points higher than expectations for Mr. Bush.

It's official. The final word is "sucked." The people have spoken.

President Cheney sucked even worse. Bush the puppet sucked but was just the foolish jester.

who are the 22%? Bet advertisers would pay a pretty penny for that mailing list.

i always figure there was about 25% of the population whose thought processes weren't reliable.
