Bush #1

Old Satan must be breathing a sigh of relief. He's much lower in this poll of Americans than the current President of The United States as the top villian of 2006.

Quote:
AP-AOL News Poll Reveals: America Perplexed by George W. Bush
U.S. President Ranks as Top Villain and Top Hero of 2006

America in No Doubt of 2006’s Celebrity Role Models – Oprah Regaled as the Best; Britney Declared the Worst

DULLES, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new poll from The Associated Press and AOL News has discovered that Americans are torn in terms of their perception of President George W. Bush and his performance in 2006. When asked to name the past year’s biggest villain, Bush was far and away the #1 choice, commanding 25% of the vote, distantly trailed by Osama Bin Laden (8%), Saddam Hussein (6%), President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran (5%), North Korean leader Kim Jong II (2%) and Donald Rumsfeld (2%). Satan only took in 1% of the vote, as did Hugo Chavez, Tom Cruise, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Rosie O’Donnell, among others.

On the flipside, Bush also claimed the top spot when Americans were asked to name the year’s biggest hero, but with only a trifling 13% of the vote. The troops in Iraq came in second (6%), followed by Jesus Christ (3%), Barack Obama (3%), Oprah Winfrey (3%), and rock star/philanthropist Bono (2%). Other “do-gooders” of 2006, receiving 1% each, included luminaries, business leaders and politicos such as Warren Buffett, George Clooney, Bill Gates, Al Gore, Billy Graham, Angelina Jolie, Colin Powell, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Condoleeza Rice.

When it came to preferences by political affiliation, Democrats were much more aligned with their party line than Republicans. Bush was the choice of 43% of Democrats for villain of the year, a more impressive showing than the 27% of Republicans who chose Bush as their hero.
Of course, no one pays any attention to polls...especially when they don't present the preferred results.

Does anyone have any suggestions as how ol' Dub can improve his image?

Obviously we live in some polarized times if he was voted the top hero AND the top villian.

I think what you said in a past thread that was critical of a Clinton staffer applies here....

You never seem to ask what the point of a thread is when it criticizes Republicans.

As usual, bd has no point other than his typical Boners-for-Bush mantra. In fact, we should start calling him "bds" instead of just bd, since he so obviously suffers from Bush Derangement Syndrome.

The people that took this poll must have been retarded if they put Bush over the troops as #1 hero.

In your haste to "police" the threads and pull up something that was said in the past you must have missed my last sentence...

Does that qualify as a point in your opinion?

Do you have any ideas as to what he could do to re-create his image or are you just here because you like to follow me around?

Thats like asking what bennedict arnold could do to improve his image

Admit to his treason, save the drawn out impeachment hearings and appeals on death row at leavensworth and off just himself.

Short of that, not much. He is a liar and traitor. Thats a difficult image to improve.

Hows this sound 9-11 has not been repeated in over 5 years. Osama declared war on the US and has not been able to repeat the 9-11 attack because his holy warriors are too busy meeting ALLAH on their home turf. There are none so blind as those who wont see.
