Bush's Approval Rating Falls to New Low

t's all about timing.
If only this had happened about a year and a half ago...Wait a second, no...that would have meant that "what's his name" might have won the election and that would not have been the best outcome. But, on second thought, it might have been better than what we have now!

It's odd that this dip in the polls is caused by the Dubai Ports controversy and especially odd that I agreed with Bush's position on port ownership. The ports have been foreign owned for years and many still are. (And still will be) A Chinese company owns the port in Southern California and Shanghai owns one in Oakland. What is not being addressed by this controversy is the very real problem of port security; less than 10% of containers are ever inspected and that has nothing to do with who the owner happens to be. But far too many Americans are quite content to let the "Talking heads" rule their thoughts...and Congress always follows the path of least resistance (and least thought).
