No Bounce For Bush

While Bush has said he will not be guided by opinion polls, this week he added to his staff (at taxpayers expense) a public opinion research expert to help him craft his message to sell-and resell- his war.

As per usual, Rove and Co. trotted out George to give a speech in front of some uniformed military personnel (also at taxpayers expense). The reception by the soldiers was lukewarm at best.

The public opinion polls (which, of course Bush doesn’t follow) show he got no bounce and actually dropped in approval as a result of this latest marketing pitch.
