Yup, Its a Mandate

(partially stolen from Doug over at Hey Jenny Slater)

According to an AP poll, 48% of the population think dubs is honest, and 50% think he's dishonest. Those numbers are pretty close to the Presidential election.

That means we have a Mandate on dubs being a lying bastard.

Other polls in the article:

56% view his confidence as arrogance. Thats a double secret mandate.

His job approval rating is 42%. That's a mandate with extra cheese.

6 in 10 think the country is heading down the wrong track. Supersized mandate.

38% think he is handling the war in Iraq well. I think that goes beyond mandate. Its an orgy.

-BUT- two thirds think of him as Strong and Likeable.

So, here we have it. The qualities we choose in a president. A lying, arrogant person, who can't handle issues at home and overseas, BUT he's likeable.

We in America vote for the stupid popular kid, not the geek who could do the best job.
