William K. Wolfrum Chronicles

By demanding that the U.S. Congress give him whatever he wants, the moment he wants it, President George W. Bush has delighted his base.

“One of the most urgent legislative priorities is to fund our troops fighting the war on terror. I’ve asked Congress to pass an emergency war spending bill that gives our troops what they need, without strings and without delay,” said Bush.

Bush went on to add that not passing a spending bill meant that U.S. troops could face shortfalls larger than they already do. Then he promised to veto any bill that wasn’t exactly what he wanted and allow for an open-ended war.

Bush’s base (listed below*) was thrilled at the manly attitude of the President. Of course, Bush’s point was clear - the vast majority of Americans are cowards and he has no interest in their opinions.

Disapproval on Iraq Hits Record

A record number of Americans disapprove of the war in Iraq, and a clear majority now favors the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces, even if civil order has not been restored there — potentially a tipping point in public attitudes on the war.

While solutions remain vexing, for the first time ABC News/Washington Post polls show a narrow majority of Americans support setting a deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces. Two-thirds oppose George W. Bush’s troop surge; most oppose it strongly.
