Bush Is Effing Delusional

Seems Junior cannot read a poll.

Apparently, elections only have consequences when he wins.

59% of Americans want out of Iraq by a deadline, no matter what the hell is going on in Iraq.

That is a bigger % than Bush considered a mandate in 2004 and even that % wasn't real.

The Bushites just say whatever the hell they want to say, whether or not what they are saying has any connection to reality at all.

We have got to get these people out of power. Yesterday!

Bush: People agree with me

President says public opposes pullout -- polls say otherwise

WASHINGTON -- Confronted with strong opposition to his Iraq policies, President Bush decides to interpret public opinion his own way. Actually, he says, people agree with him.
Democrats view the November elections that gave them control of Congress as a mandate to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq. They're backed by evidence; election exit poll surveys by the Associated Press and television networks found 55 percent saying the U.S. should withdraw some or all of its troops from Iraq.

The president says Democrats have it wrong: the public doesn't want the troops pulled out -- they want to give the military more support in its mission.

''Last November, the American people said they were frustrated and wanted a change in our strategy in Iraq,'' he said April 24. ''I listened. Today, General David Petraeus is carrying out a strategy that is dramatically different from our previous course.''

Increasingly isolated on a war that is going badly, Bush has presented his alternative reality in other ways, too. He expresses understanding for the public's dismay over the unrelenting sectarian violence and American losses, but then asserts that the public's solution matches his.
''A lot of Americans want to know, you know, when?'' he said Thursday. ''When are you going to win?''

Also in that session, Bush said: ''I recognize there are a handful there, or some, who just say, 'Get out, you know, it's just not worth it. Let's just leave.' I strongly disagree with that attitude. Most Americans do as well.''

In fact, polls show Americans do not disagree, and that leaving -- not winning -- is their main goal.

In one poll released Friday by CBS and the New York Times, 63 percent supported a troop withdrawal timetable of sometime next year. Another earlier this month from USA Today and Gallup found 59 percent backing a withdrawal deadline that the U.S. should stick to no matter what's happening in Iraq.

Bush aides say poll questions are asked so many ways that it is impossible to conclude that most Americans really want to get out.
