Progressives are having a good I-told-you-so snicker at Bush’s approval ratings among African-Americans, which dove to an amazing … wait for it … 2%.  But what’s amazing to me is that 9% more (11% total) voted for him in 2004.  I guess they were beguiled by the spin which this administration crafts with psychological precision.

The administration’s lack-luster performance during the Hurricane disasters really strikes to the heart of their so-called "strength" in being the leadership most trustworthy in a disaster.  This despite the many appalling lapses during and after 9/11.
