TWO PERCENT!

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.”

TWO PERCENT?!?!?! Wow!!! I kept thinking that this was a typo! I mean, I am amazed that more than 2% of the public in general actually approves of this moron, but it seems like more than 2% or al-Qaida would support him! (OK, bad analogy - obviously, al-Qaida loves him because they couldn't ask for a better marketing tool than bush, but you know what I mean...)
