Reply #7: In the case of the "real" numbers,

[cliss]

we don't have to look to the polling organizations. For the unvarnished truth, look to Bush.

Bush will tell us how he's doing.

Because his advisers know. Now, take the hurricane and its aftermath. Notice, how he snapped into action. A little late, but boy did we see some action. Notice the sweaty desperation of his attempts to "buy love" with his little photo-op token blacks.

Notice the high-pitched desperate attempts to rouse the Americans "this is just like 9/11", isn't it? Isn't it? (sweaty forehead). Americans are furious. He tries again, "We must rebuild this country TOGETHER, just like after 9/11". The public won't go for it.

Next, a tentative admission of failure.

ALWAYS look to Bush to see the real numbers. And it's not looking good for the old boy.
