"I don't understand what is floating his ship except patriotism and terrorism concerns," said one conservative republican political strategist. "If the tide turns, there's nothing else that keeps his boat afloat. There's a sort of feeling out there of, `Where is this thing going?' We were all happy to follow president Bush into this, but we're now starting to look up at the hillside and wondering who's up there." - link.

Humble statesman pisses off entire planet
God said to be none too pleased, either.
'George W. Bush is under an international quarantine. It is not security concerns that prevent him from going overseas, nor is it the unseemly appearance of leaving the White House while our troops fight along the Euphrates. Rather, Bush can't leave America because his policies are intensely unpopular in almost every country on earth.
'A foreign trip by Bush now would reveal to the average American in pictures - so vivid that even Fox News couldn't spin them away - just how bitterly our policies are opposed around the globe.
'Once the war is over and the occupation begins, reporters will start to ask why our president isn't traveling anymore. Karl Rove will have to think of a place to send him. Outside of Israel or Afghanistan, the choices will be slim. Of course, Bush could safely go to a country where the government uses brutality to stop demonstrations. Which means that it has come to this: The American president, who once symbolized the value of freedom to many people around the world, can now only visit countries where dissent is crushed.' - snipped from Jeremy Mayer's column: link.
