Two Percent

http://thinkprogress.org/2005/10/13/two-percent/

At a press conference on October 4, President Bush argued that he was the right person to bridge the racial divide in America:

You address the racial divide in a variety of ways. And, obviously, the tone matters from leadership. It matters what leaders say. It matters that somebody, first of all, understands there’s a problem and is willing to talk about it. And I will continue to do so as the President.

Apparently, it isn’t working so well. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds that just 2 percent of African-Americans approve of his leadership. NBC’s Tim Russert — who called the number “a dramatic setback” — looked into it, and he could not “find a pollster who can remember any President ever getting just 2 percent approval from African-Americans.”

3. Why is ANYONE surprised by this result?

I can just see the Bushboy whining, "But I appointed Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, and this is the thanks I get!"

What a clueless bunch.

Or, as Bushboy probably spells it: "Klooliss."

11. And does Bush even realize that Powell is Jamaican, NOT African? nt

4. But he has personally hugged, fondled, and patted every African American

in AL, MS, and LA, judging from the photo ops. How can this be?
