I thought it would be nice to share some of Lou's comments after a report on his show, Lou Dobbs Tonight, about the President's sinking poll numbers:

When President Bush was reelected last year by the smallest margin ever for a sitting president, the president said he had earned political capital and he planned to spend it. So far, President Bush has earned little return on the political capital that he has invested so far in his second term.

The day after he was reelected, President Bush said he was investing that political capital it in Social Security reform and revamping the tax code. Nothing has been accomplished on either of those issues.

President Bush did recently sign the massive energy and transportation bills, both laden with pork barrel spending. In fact, he has yet to veto any massive spending bill, or any bill, for that matter, during his entire presidency.

President Bush has promoted these bills and Social Security reform in a series of staged events that are highly, tightly controlled by the White House. Ordinary Americans cannot simply show up and hear their president speak. The White House hands out tickets to select audience, saying it is for security reasons.

Thank God for the straight talking common sense of Lou Dobbs. You get more out of one of his hour long programs than you do from a week of FOX News.
