Inside the Beltway. . . and Out

The evidence, as if there were not already enough, just continues to mount.

Take a look at Rolling Stone's lengthy historical profile which asks if Bush is "The Worst President in History?"

Think about the series of bumblings at yesterday's ceremony with the President of China. I think Bush actually damaged US-China relations. Yes, there are big problems with China -- the discrimination against non-Chinese companies, the oppression of the Chinese people, the terror they have inflicted on Tibet, etc. -- but the way to begin to solve these many problems is through engagement of what will soon be the largest economy in the world. But bumbling Bush treats the Chinese as errant children.

It seems that not a day goes by without something negative coming out of the White House. I am inclined to believe he really is the worst president ever. Even the most recent public approval poll from Bush-friendly Fox News shows that only 33% think he is doing a good job.

But will the growing public recognition of what Bush and his fellow Republicans are doing to our country translate in the November elections into a change in Congress?

I certainly hope so. We can do better.
