Today in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is another hilarious serving of anti-Bush drivel from the delirious Hubert Locke, "retired professor and former dean of the Daniel J. Evans Graduate School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington".
... the Democratic Party, which faces the opportunity to defeat the most unpopular president since John Tyler...Meanwhile, back in the real world, USA Today today looks at some actual public opinion polls:
President Bush is ending his third year in office with 63% job approval, the highest rating of any president since Lyndon Johnson, who finished 1963 with a 74% rating a month after John F. Kennedy's assassination.It's a good thing at least that Hubert Locke is retired and won't be damaging the brains of any more of our aspiring public policy experts.
The frightening and sad thing is that a moron such as Locke was in a position to 'teach' young people.

You're not taking into account that in Locke's world, Bush IS one of the most unpopular presidents. Fortunately, the read world sees it differently.
Posted by: jimg on December 26, 2003 03:48 PMGood point. It's too bad that for all the "popular" Presidents, the parallel had to be to Johnson. If the parallel holds, Bush has no chance of getting re-elected in 2008.

By the same argument, he could also be in trouble in 2004, but only if a Kennedy challenges him in the Republican primaries.
