@ByronYork@ThePlumLineGS See CNN story previewing Bush 06 SOTU, "Pres Bush will attempt to revive his presidency" http://cnn.it/1lkWu0j -
@philipaklein@ByronYork do we have to get into a link-search now? I remember well some pundits were saying Ds ran against Iraq at own risk -
@ThePlumLineGS@ByronYork No doubt their were pundits saying that. But like Obama now, Bush in 1/06 was viewed as diminished -
@philipaklein the context for this was Fineman saying on TV "no one in this town" takes a prez with 43% approval seriously -
@ThePlumLineGS Well, depends on how literally he meant the statement. Surely ppl don't think defying him = defying American ppl
