Bush is playing limbo

How low can he go?

Less than half of Americans now say they think President Bush is honest, according to an AP-Ipsos poll taken at a time of increasing concerns about Iraq, a potential problem for a president who won re-election declaring that "people know where I stand."

The percentage of people who say they consider Bush honest has dropped slightly from the start of the year. In January, 53 percent described him that way in the AP-Ipsos poll, while 45 percent said they did not believe he was honest. Now, people are just about evenly split — 48 percent saying he's honest and 50 percent saying he's not.

So much for that mandate. A liar can only juggle so many lies before the truth comes out. It's about time this country starts to remove the scales from their eyes and see George Bush for what he is--a liar and a terrible leader.
