Watching my favorite Philip DeFranco show on YouTube (that guy is really amazing), I came upon this video hosting George W. Bush, booed by several thousand guests at the Nationals stadium in Washington. This brilliantly emphasizes how unpopular the president has gotten, and what lows he has reached in approval ratings. His unpopular move to increase the size of troops in Iraq, his mismanagement of the economy, and his aggressive foreign policies have smashed his popularity, even deep in the republican ranks. "Bush’s overall approval rating has fallen to just 28 percent, a new low, while more than twice as many (64 percent) disapprove of the way he's handling his job," according to CBS News in a poll published earlier this year.
In Europe, his unpopularity has been phenomenal early on. An inarticulate president, who barely remembers the name of foreign leaders and knows little, if nothing, of the countries outside his own will certainly not draw much sympathy.
Lame Duck was not moved, to say the least, by the booing taking place in Washington's stadium and would certainly have echoed the crowd.
