a new record for president bush

WASHINGTON (CNN) – As President-elect Obama visits the White House, a new national poll suggests that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
is the most unpopular president in the six decades since presidential approval ratings were first measured.
Seventy-six percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday disapprove of how George W. Bush is handling his
job as President. That's an all-time high in CNN polling, or in Gallup polling dating back to World War II.
"No other president's disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year," says CNN Polling
Director Keating Holland. "That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66
percent disapproval rating."
Prior to President Bush, the record holder for presidential disapproval was Harry Truman, with a 67 percent disapproval rating in January of 1952, his
last full year in office.
As Obama visits the White House, 57 percent of those questioned think the transfer of presidential power will be relatively easy and free from
tension, with 39 percent saying the transition will be difficult.
"A majority say that the transition from Bush to Obama will go smoothly, although nearly one in four predict a lot of tension between Bush aides and
Obama aides in the next few weeks. That sentiment is highest among Democrats, but even among them, a majority believes that the transition will be
relatively easy," Holland said.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll was conducted Thursday through Sunday with 1,246 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's
sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

very true.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

The photo op was fucking awesome though. That pic of the sitting across and leaning over towards one another. The camera behind them. the bright light
between them. That was a good photo.

I watched some of the footage at the gym. I leaned over to the guy next to me and said, "you think they planned the matching ties? It's cute"
