    Well, I suppose we should be extra glad for whatever goodies we managed to get. Because right now, it looks like the bailout may not have done a flipping bit of good. From Agence France Presse (AFP): Global stock markets reeled Monday, shaken by massive

    Perhaps Dave Chappelle could do a better job as President WASHINGTON — The Dow isn’t the only thing that’s falling in the current economic crisis. Now President Bush’s approval rating has dropped to a record low.

INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC: Bush approval rating through the years That’s the lowest approval and the highest disapproval of his eight years in office. His approval rating has dropped eight percentage points in a month. The telephone survey of 1,011 adults has a margin of error of +/— 3 points. “He has already paid the approval price for the Iraq war” with ratings that have been dismal for two years, says Richard Eichenberg, a Tufts University political scientist. “Now in addition, with the horrible economic news of the last three weeks, some of the blame is obviously being laid to him and presumably the way his administration has managed the policy package of the last two or three weeks.” That’s bad news for presidential candidate John McCain, too.
