Bush's Public Popularity Down!!! Slightly Happy.

By Katie Naranjo

The sad or serious face that President Bush will be wearing in upcoming weeks is due to a slide in his popularity with the public. What are the issues that might have added to this almost 10-point slide, one might ask. Well, a recent decision by the Bush administration to support controversial issues is one reason. Meaning the attempt to intervene in the Terri Schaivo hearings and family conflicts. Bush is also fielding much criticism about his proposal to privatize the social security system. Whether you are satisfied with the current system or not, the entire privatization of the social security system is a huge risk that could result in millions of elderly not receiving the same funds prior. The risks outweigh the benefits that do not seem to be materializing. So why am I writing about Bush's popularity, when you can watch CNN and hear. Simply I was excited, that after poking the Federal nose into none of its business it showed that voters are mildly informed about the Fed's actions.
