Dear Harry,
I know that you do speak for many of us in San Francisco. I appreciate your truthful and heartfelt comments – and particularly the respectful way in which you offered them. My hope is that those of us who oppose the current Bush Adminstration policies of aggression, divisiveness and lack of compassion will counter with the truth, commitment, clear thinking and compassion that really can change the world. (I feel sad that a few of the comments posted here sound so cutting – because I feel the need to respect others – particularly those whom I stand in opposition to).
I applaud your courage and your words.
With thanks,
Tomi

Thank you so very much. Please let us know how you are doing 2 men from CO spoke up and I think they also lost their jobs. Let us know so we can help.

Dear Mr.Taylor,
I was very proud of you for having the courage to stand up and say “the Emperor has no clothes.” Putting yourself on the line in these troubled times, shows a great deal of courage. You have my deepest thanks.
Sincerely,
Mark Smith

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Finally!!

Harry, you voiced in person to our (ahemmmm) so called president, what I have been thinking for a long time, and you said it so clearly and eloquently.

Thank You, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Thank You, Harry.
I, too, have never been more ashamed of the leadership of this country than I am now. Thank you for tellling George how many of us feel.

Go, Harry!!

Thank you, Mr. Taylor for your courage. You spoke what so many of us believe, with such a clear, steady and eloquent voice. I imagine it is the first time in years Bush has heard anything like that. I hope your voice inspires others to speak out as well.

Thank you for speaking up for so many of us who are distressed over the course this country is taking. I truly admire your courage.

Thanks Harry, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Thanks, Harry – for standing up and speaking for American women who are tired of Bush’s authoritarian and paternalistic approach to ‘freedom’…and your critics? They’re all just spouting the same rhetoric that comes out of the Bush camp because they can’t come up with anything intelligent or thoughtful to say. As Forrest Gump so eloquently says (or was it his mother?), “Stupid is as stupid does,” and the president and his fans prove that every day. Your actions didn’t embarrass you as your critics are saying; they brought to light the embarrassment that many Americans feel about living in a country full of ignorant sheep. You rock!

Hurray for you, Harry. Your comments were right on target. Mr. Bush needs to hear directly from US citizens like you (and us).

Thank you, Harry. You have given me hope. It’s time to take our country back.

Thank you, Harry Taylor, for being a voice for all of us who will never get the chance to speak our minds to George Bush and his “friends”. We appreciate the fact that you stood up to his hand picked fan club and proceeded to express your opinions, and ours! Thanks again from Tennessee!

This needs to be communicated to our nation, and perhaps, if free speech can still be broadcasted, this could be ruled a ground rule triple. Now, if the Nation listens, we may have scored a run.

All my praise to Harry and let the people be heard!!!

We all admire your courage and support you totally.

Thank you, Harry.

Thank you Harry Taylor. Words cannot express how proud I felt hearing your words. Although our president does not appear to feel any sense of shame, I as an American, am ashamed of our actions. No man of character could cause the harm that Bush has caused to this entire planet through his decisions and not feel some remorse, but he seems oblivious to all of it. I am a proud American and I support our troops and our veterans at every opportunity – but I will never support a war that was based on falsehoods and entered into with reckless abandon. With the world watching us after 9-11 we could have made a stand against terrorists and found allies in every corner. Instead we are hated because we acted like a bully and through our actions caused far more death and destruction than the hijackers.
He spies and lies and finally you said to his face what so many of us have thought.
Thank you for speaking for all of us.

I appreciate you speaking up Harry! We need more of you speaking the truth to this corrupt administration! Thank you for speaking! You are more of a patriot than all of us who fear to speak..

Thank you for your heroic statement to George W. Bush. I hope that somewhere in his confused muddled way of thinking that you planted a seed of doubt in that “I’m on the side of God and therefore never wrong”, veneer he has emeshed himself with and is reinforced by all of the suck ups he is surrounded with.

Perhaps that is why he let you speak because he feels a desperate need to hear the truth and no one on his team will speak it.

By a gentle simple statement you make us proud to be Americans again.

Thank you Harry.

Roberta in Medford, Oregon

Thank-you, thank-you, a thousand times, thank-you! Thank you for presenting your comments with such a calm intelligence, that no one could mistake you for some left-fringe lunatic. Mr. Bush should be ashamed of himself, but I don’t think he has either the moral backbone or intelligence to make those distinctions in his life. Speaking a lie does not make it the truth.

Harry, thanks for shining your spotlight of reason and honesty on this president’s basement full of lies and incompetance. Have you considered running for office in 2008?

Harry,

Thank you for making me proud to be an American! Thank you for restoring my faith that sometimes when we are very very lucky, not only are we allowed to speak the truth, but we actually get heard! When you spoke to Bush, you shared the sentiments of millions of Americans who can only fantasize having such a wonderful opportunity! You have inspired us all! Thank you for your chutzpah!!!

Sincerely,
Rachel Brand

Thank you Harry Taylor for voicing what so many of us have to stay

Thank you Harry,

You stated what many Americans, despite their political affiliation, should be stating. Politics have allowed this President to do what he has done for the last five years. We as Americans should be outraged by what is happening to our country and our standing in the world. Political affiliation must take a back seat to what the President is doing to ALL AMERICANS.

I only wish people with the power to change the government’s behavior would take a lesson from Mr. Taylor. Democrats, are you listening? Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your courage and the strength of your convictions in giving so many of us a voice straight to the “horse’s mouth”.
It’s too bad you were surrounded by so many in the audience who did not even consider what you were saying…. Deb Walter

Thank you, Mr. Taylor, for standing up. You give me hope for this democracy. I am sincerely in your debt.

Mr. Harry Taylor,

May I express my sincere gratitude to you for exercising your First Amendment rights and expressing your quiet yet forceful outrage in the company of president Bush and the usual pro-Bush audiences his front men pull together in local communities.

In truth, you spoke for millions and millions of us who are appauled at the policies and behavior of this administration.

May you continue to speak loud and clear. Your voice is ringing across this once great land.

Harry, Sir. I had the misfortune of seeing the interview with you on Inside Edition after they hacked up your words to the President. The reporter kept saying things like “Don’t you think you were being disrepectful?!?!” and “This is the President?!?” as if the leader of the free world can’t take critism! That reporters questions only emphasized the reason for people like you to remind us of our blessing and rights under a Democracy by and for the people. As an African American woman I’m only 1 generation removed from an America that denied me my civil rights by law. We can’t allow this administration to destroy everything we ALL have worked hard to create. So, thank you, Harry for being one of many hereos in our fight to reclaim this country.

HIGH FIVE, HARRY!!!! That was one of the most amazing displays of courage I have ever seen! And to deliver your message in such an eloquent and respectful manner made my heart swell with pride.

It was one of those times where you watch and say to yourself, “Oh, SNAP!” (my daughter says that’ slang for, Oh no he DIDN’T! )

When I heard of your courageous speech, I felt I had somebody out there in the public eye saying what is on my mind. And well-said too! I am sorry you were boo’d. My husband and I both send you heartfelt thanks and admiration.

Thank you, Harry Taylor.

You certainly spoke for me!

Thank You Harry Taylor. The insanity that perverts our political system is overwhelming at times. Republicans and Democrats alike have broken our Country and, at times, my spirit. But you have voiced the concerns and outrage that millions of Americans feel in simple straightforward terms. And hopefully in a way that will cause our President and those closest to him to realize how they have failed us and the ideals that once made this country great.

Thank you, Harry for standing up for me.
You lead by example.

Thank you Harry Taylor for having the courage to articulate what so many of us feel and think about the current administration. You said it perfectly!

Thank you Harry for your strength and courage to stand up for what is right. You are a wonderful role model in these bleak days.

WAY TO GO HARRY—MY MAN!!

I don’t have the courage to do what you did but I have the capacity to write and make some sense. I wrote a letter the President and posted it on my blog:

http://orbstandard.com/JMungai/?p=24

Dear Mr. President,

I’m not surprised by the news that you authorized Scooter Libby to reveal classified information simply to discredit your critics.

I’m not even amazed you yourself said you would get to the bottom of this matter and fire anyone found to have participated in the leaking of classified information.

In fact, I am not even shocked you were lying to the American public when you said those words?

And, I am absolutely positive you cannot atone for your egregious behavior.

What I find appalling is our Congress that continues to allow you to destroy some of the decent things this country once had to offer. Your own handpicked staff can’t even get their stories straight, was it 1000 mistakes you made or more?

If our President has the right to lie to the world then you are saying judges, lawyers, witnesses, defendants and plaintiffs can lie in a court of law. Or is that the norm now too?

You could resign today and the repercussions of your oath to office would still be felt for centuries to come, should this planet survive that long.

I am copying my representative and senators on this letter, and ask that you send me a reply with your views on this matter.

Sincerely,
Joseph A. Mungai, RN

I just can’t thank you enough Harry! More people need to stand up to this crook and tell it like it is. I would love to share a few words with him. The list would include words like; accountability, democracy, constitution, privacy, separation of church and state, compassion for the poor, sick and elderly, loyalty towards veterans…I could just go on and on!

Thank You for speaking for so many of us–you are a class act!

Bravo, Harry!!! I saw you on MSNBC’s ” Countdown With Keith Olbermann ” and was thrilled. You were well-spoken and brought up all the important points. Thank you for giving voice to over 65% of the American public and those of us who were disenfranchised in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.

Who knows? Maybe this will begin to burst the “bubble” that Bush has surrounded himself with.

Again,my deepest gratitude!

Thank you Harry Taylor for speaking for all Americans who are upset with what is happening to this great nation. We are only in our thirties and have never been more frustrated with how the rest of the world preceives America through the misguided actions of this administration. The sad thing is that this apple did fall close to the tree and we still elected him, twice. Once and for all, someone finally DID stick it to “the man” with iron clad justification.

Thanks, Harry, for going into the belly of the beast and giving voice to the frustration and yes, the anger of so many of your fellow Americans. That took a lot of courage to stand up in front of that hand picked bunch of willfull idiots when you knew there’d be the usual goons lurking around this event, congrats on skirting the screening.

Thank you Harry Taylor for standing up and speaking out. I hope your courage will pass to others so that this will be a tipping point for America.

for the love of god pls fix your links so i can unregister receiving a notice for the billion posts here ! geeshe !

Thank you, thank you Harry for speaking “our” mind. You said it and it surely needed to be said! You’re our her0 Harry Taylor!!! Unfortunately the Gutless Wonder of the Whitehouse doesn’t have a conscience. (A requirement if one were to feel ashamed.) I hope that all of these responses are eventually forwarded to the White House. Maybe then King George will realize what the “chattering masses” really thnk of him. And beyond that, hopefully, Congress will vote for censure.

Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you!!!!!!!

Thankyou Harry Taylor. You expressed in a dignified manner the disgust and horror that we feel about our current administration and president. Your voice has reached throughout our land, striking a chord with many who feel as you do. Voices such as yours inspire the rest of us! I wish that I could shake your hand. Thankyou.

Thank God somebody has the guts to stand up for the dignity of American citizens. You had the opportunity to challenge the leader of the free world and did it masterfully. I can only hope he takes your comments to heart and I hope they keep him up at night. Thank you for speaking for us in a way we can only do (and will do) at the polls.

Harry,

Thank you for speaking your truth. It is a truth that many other people share. I know it is not easy to say a truth that is not popular, or may be perceived as rude (how could you say that in front of the president), but it is a truth we share. I can only hope I have your courage should the time come that I am called upon to speak my truth. I will try, for you have inspired me and I see that I can do so without malice toward any person..but I will try to speak my truth. Thank you for your courage and heart.

Harry….you should be ashamed of yourself. Your an incredible boob. In 2001, three thousand plus Americans were incinerated in one of the most horrific attacks that the United States has sustained since Pearl Harbor. Since then our President, George Bush, has done everything within his power to insure that those responsible are brought to justice as well as to increase our homeland security so as to insure our safety and security. Since you are, in fact, so stupid I thought as a start I’d point that out to you.

Next, in our countries efforts against terrorism, many Americans have put their life on the line both in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Our armed forces have sustained casualties resulting in deaths in both of these fronts. Your remarks sir are an insult to the “last full measure of their devotion” that they honorably gave.

Shame on you sir, Shame on you!

most sincerely….John T. Bristol

Thanks a million Harry for having the courage to say what three quarters of the country thinks and would like to echo given the opportunity.

Thank you, sir. You spoke for MILLIONS of Americans whose hate for this man impacts on their daily lives.
You are a true hero.

Harry,

What you did was a real Patriot Act—The action of a true Patriot. Thank you for saying to his face what millions of us believe.

Bravo!

Now watch as the millions of your fellow Patriots who believe as you do deliver an encore that he won’t be able to smirk his way out of.

The Founding Fathers would be very proud of you indeed, as are we.

David C. Johnson
Medford, Oregon

So glad to know there are still true patriots out there. Harry is the face of millions of Americans who are sickened by the actions of this admin.
Thanks for your courage!!!!

Thank you, Harry Taylor, for realizing what a rare opportunity you had, to speak face to face to Mr. Bush and for using it so wisely and courageously. Thank you for speaking so eloquently for the millions of us that he would like to pretend do not exist.

Thank you Harry Taylor. I could not believe my eyes when I read the account of your bravery in the paper yesterday. I am amazed that you were allowed to speak at all. You said what millions of us think but never have the opportunity to say outloud in a public forum. This “freedom” president who talks about how our enemies “hate freedom” is in fact the one who hates freedom especaily our freedom to speak and to assemble. I am distressed by the fact that you were booed for speaking out. It shows the deep divisions in our country and how many people are still under Bush’s spell.
Thank you again Mr. Taylor. I hope your courage will spark a revolution.

Thanks, Harry….

Thank you so much Harry. You said many of the things that I have been saying on the internet … well actually since the election of 2000-to me that was scary.

There is a fear and a shame that is happening and until we face this then we shall remain in a state of denial. It’s time to face it.

thank you harry. i call the white house to tell the preznit how i feel, but i don’t think he gets my messages. i’m not sure he “got” yours either, but alot of americans who feel the same got it. i hope everyone will call their gov’t representatives & tell them how they feel. we need to get the message out that we are sick & tired of what our gov’t is doing.

Thank you Harry, and thank you for creating this blog from my very own home state of Utah. I am so rarely proud of Utah politically, and at this moment I am proud! As a Utahn by birth, I know honesty is a primary value in Utah. Let’s see how Bush does on honesty. Bush: Lies about Hurricane Katrina (”I don’t think anyone foresaw the breeching of the levees”), lies about the information links in the Valerie Plame affair (”I don’t know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information”), lies about wiretaps (”We’re talking about getting a warrant. Nothing has changed here”) lies about tax cuts and how they are helping people when actually they are increasing the disparity between rich and poor in our country, and most of all lies lies and double lies about Iraq, the centerpiece of duping, bankrupting, insane and all around terrible policy that will ever define the presidency of George W. Bush.

Namaste, Harry.

To be in a position of public service requires humility and compassion. Unfortunately, when confronted by a U.S. Citizen who speaks with sincerity and honesty, President Bush evidences his arrogance and lack of understanding. Despite record disapproval ratings and global distrust of American foreign policy, the President proceeds without even questioning consequences. To justify the wire-tapping of American Citizens through an unjustifiable war is senseless. To every American for whom this event has been disturbing or infuriating, I say, find a good Democratic Candidate, one for whom real values and compassion are the motto. Support that candidate through donations and volunteerism and help bring a future of rational and reasonable leadership to every City, County and State. If we are going to complain about the process, we need to be willing to change the process. Get out there and make it happen!

Hello Harry, I’m proud of you. I’m absolutely appalled that you were booed in a country, allegedly proud of being able to speak freely. I don’t know how you slipped in, but we need to have more of us to have the opportunity to speak directly and frankly to George Bush in public, with witnesses such as media with enough courage to broadcast the event. I suspect that if that happens, George Bush’s town meeting will stop. We need to have the same activity with all polititians at their town hall meetings.

Dear Mr. Taylor–
Thank you for having the chutzpah to express what so many of us have been thinking for these past 6 years and to do it in such a public forum. I only wish your comments would have been given the proper response by George Bush-but perhaps that is asking too much from our president who prefers scripted questions and answers!

thank you mr. taylor for being my surrogate and giving me a glimmer of hope.

Thank you Harry for standing up to the President and speaking for Americans everywhere! This country needs more people to take a stand and take our country back!

Thanks Harry, for telling Bush exactly what I’ve been thinking for a long time.

Thank you, George, for your eloquent and dead-on public disrobing of King George the Hypocrit. You spoke for millions who are equally outraged, ashamed and just plain appalled at our miserable, morally corrupt, lyin’, cheatin’, smirkin’ excuse for a leader.

You did a wonderful job, Mr. Taylor. I’m still unsure why Bhsu’s goons didn’t throw you out, and I wish there were more people like you who owuld be permitted to professionally express their opinions directly to the President. I don’t know if it matters to him, but I’m also not sure he really knows how many Americans feel the same as you do.

Thanks again Harry!

Godspeed and God bless you, Mr. Taylor. Thank you for speaking for the America I pledged allegiance to with a full and grateful heart when I was 8 years old. At 50, reading your words, I feel that we may yet as a nation grow up into our own image!

So glad you got to “give ‘em hell” Harry. You pierced the stainless steel bubble and forced him (the pretend president) to hear a REAL American. I am waiting for the the “silent majority” to finally rise up. Perhaps, they will take a hint from you!!
Thanks again.

THANK YOU, Harry Taylor!

What more can I say?

When a window of opportunity opens, you need to leap right through it. That is what Harry did. So rare is it that Bush finds himself exposed to honest critisism, that to watch his public appearances would lead anyone to believe that this country stands unified behind this administration. The exact opposite is true and proved over and over again by every possible poll taken. Harry had the smarts to get a microphone in his hands at this event and the courage to elequently express the feelings of the majority of Americans. Don’t let Harry’s moment in the sun exist only an anomaly. Show your support of Harry and don’t be afraid to stand up and speak out firmly about your opinions regarding this administration. Organize in a strong showing on April 15th that proves that Harry is not just a man with an opinion, but was the first honest American given the opprotunity to face down Bush in his own (normally stealth) forum.

One of the authors posted that this event took place in South Carolina. Wrong. It happened in Charlotte, North Carolina at Central Piedmont Community College.

Mr. Taylor, wish I had been there with you to show my support for your words.

Thank you Mr. Taylor for having the courage to speak truth to the most powerful, arrogant, mean-sprited SOB who ever held the office of POTUS. We democrats are tremendously proud of you and grateful for your brave act. I would personally send you 100 dozen roses if I could!

Harry, WOW! I was astounded, gleeful and awestruck as I heard your comments on Air America Radio. Wish I could’ve been there in person. You are my new hero for saying everything I think with such amazing grace & style. Wish each of us could remain so calm as we state our truth in the face of overwhelming idiocy.
THIS TEXAN LOVES YOU!

At last, someone with real courage and integrity! Many million thanks.

Join the campaign for progressive legislation http://www.boycott-republicans.com

I seek activist volunteers to pass this letter around for a project that will force the speaker of the House Dennis Hastert to enact progressive legislation. I also seek volunteer activists to do this project to force Senator Frist to enact progressive legislation.

If you want to send me email please place the word PRIVATE in the subject or it will not reach me. Thank you.

Send the following letter to Speaker Hastert and Senator Frist. After you send them email or US mail drop me an email that you sent them email so I can keep track of how many emails and letters they receive, thank you.

Pass this progressive agenda or face a mass boycott of Republican contributors.

I demand that you get the Republican Party to hold a press conference and accede to these demands. Until such a press conference happens and the legislation and/or actions gets passed I will boycott products from Republican contributors Walmart, Wendy’s, Outback Steak House, Dominos Pizza, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Eckerd, CVS and Walgreens, Curves for women health clubs, GE and Exxon/Mobil.

I demand that congress pass legislation ending the war in Iraq and withdraw the troops and arrange with the United Nations to replace US troops with UN troops to defend Iraq until The Iraqi army can defend Iraq.

I demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and hateful action to end a woman’s right to choose abortion or not.

I demand that the Congress of the United states and the president of the United States enact a law to increase the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to extend unemployment benefits to a year or more for all people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6 months even though they still seek work.

I demand that the Congress of the United States to not privatize social security benefits in any form including taking a percentage of the social security tax and placing it in private accounts. People can already create their own pensions with money after taxes in the private sector.

I demand that the congress make all of a person’s earned income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes and remove the 88,000 dollar taxable income limit. This will make social security solvent for many years to come.

I demand the congress increase the payroll tax in order to make social security solvent as well.

I demand congress and the president enact a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80 percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps, and no penalties for signing up in a succeeding year.

I demand congress repeal the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1 passed by congress in Nov 2003.

I demand congress enact single payer universal health insurance for every citizen as minimum coverage.

I demand that congress and the president enact universal vote by mail throughout the 50 states of the United States of America with paper ballots easy to fill out and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican Party officials. This will prevent Republicans from vote suppression by skin color and political party which happened electronically and in person in the 2000 and 2004 elections.

I demand that congress and the president enact that civil servants on every state payroll keep track of voter registrations and vote counting of mail in votes in each precinct and not companies such as Choicepoint. We need to take the Republican Party out of the business of keeping track of voter registration and counting votes.

I demand that congress and the president ban the secretary of state in each of the 50 states from engaging in politics especially acting as a campaign official for a presidential campaign.

I demand congress enact legislation protecting private pensions from corporations deliberately declaring bankruptcy or ending pensions outright.

I do this in the spirit of peaceful resistance to a congress that refuses to enact this legislation.

————————————————————————————————————————————————

Then call your local franchise or store that sells products of companies mentioned for boycott and tell them unless the Republican Party enacts the above demands, you will no longer do business with them, so get the CEO of the parent company to get the GOP to accede to these demands. No company wants thousands of people boycotting them espcially getting thousands of phone calls from citizens demanding a progressive agenda enacted or they lose our business.

Tell others to send this mail and to call these companies local franchises. In the case of General Electric call your local store that sells General Electric products.

Thank you SO MUCH Mr. Taylor, for having the courage of your convictions, and the brass and gumption to stand up to that smirking fool and tell him how you feel! I wish there was some way we could all do the same thing. I didn’t vote for him because I knew he would be a very bad choice. Never in a million years did I think he would be THIS horrible. You spoke for all of us who are sick of this man, this administration, and the Republican Party in general. I applaud you!

DEAR HARRY: FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS WE THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! THAT DRY DRUNK HAS HAD IT TOO EASY AND IT’S ABOUT TIME HE HEARD IT LIKE IT IS! HE AND HIS COHORTS HAVE BEEN PLAYING SOLDIER WITH OUR CHILDRENS’ LIVES AND WE ARE FED UP. I SAID FROM THE START THAT HE WAS PROBABLY THE ANTI-CHRIST. GOD HELP US AND SAVE US FROM SELF-RIGHTEOUS DO-GOODERS. GEORGE, DICK, KARL, DONALD — THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!

Hey Bertha.

Did you give any consideration to the fact that the “flock of sheep” to which you refer is the majority of all Americans?

But don’t worry. When Bush is kicked out of office for being the biggest, most bafoonest criminal president ever, we sheep will still let you voice your opinion.

How does it feel to be in the minority?

That’s right, TKL, pure ad hominem attack when confused. But there is no confusion here when I say that Bush supporters are a dying breed. Even Ma Bush, I am told, would like to wrap a string of pearls around junior’s neck!

TKL: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but supporters of Bush are rapidly dwindling in number. Accept it and get over it, dude! I never said, as you incorrectly suggest, that Bush supporters do not exist, or that an increase of registered republicans is not occurring. Bush supporters are a dying breed, and few will argue with the notion.

Indeed, the fact that the number of registered republicans is increasing – I will take your word for the proposition – may well signal such disgust with Bush that the party refuses to allow a repeat of the Bush disaster, as a repeat of Bush will likely spell death for the gop as we know it today.

Verily, I say, your analysis needs refinement!

Show me “real leadership,” Woman, and I will show you a popular president. Bill Clinton comes to mind. Notwithstanding his remarkably stupid decision to lie to the country re Monica, he nevertheless enjoyed enourmous public support, at levels far in excess of those “enjoyed” by Bush today. Such high levels of support indicate real leadership, as opposed to lies, lies and more lies, and folks who die because of the lies.

No. But that is why Clinton enjoyed 60% plus approval ratings, even while being impeached!
