Offbeat: Obama speech generator: ‘hope’ is not just another word for ‘dog’

U.S.: Bush’s final approval rating: A record-setting low

  • 22%? That’s it? George W. Bush goes down as having the lowest final approval rating of any president in the last 70 years, when they first started polling. To put in perspective, Reagan and Clinton left with 68% approval ratings, Bush’s dad left with 54% and Harry S. Truman has the next-lowest with 32%. No love for George W. :( source
