Voters' Remorse on Bush 
    By Bob Herbert 
    The New York Times

    Thursday 22 September 2005

    Maybe, just maybe, the public is beginning to
see through the toxic fog of fantasy, propaganda
and deliberate misrepresentation that has been
such a hallmark of the George W. Bush
administration, which is in danger of being
judged by history as one of the worst of all
time.

    Mr. Bush's approval ratings have tanked as
increasing numbers of Americans worry that their
president, who seems to like nothing better than
running off to his ranch to clear brush and ride
his bike, may not be up to the job.

    The most recent New York Times/CBS News Poll
strongly indicated that the public - tired of the
war-without-end in Iraq and dismayed by the
federal response to the catastrophe in New
Orleans - "has growing doubts about [the
president's] capacity to deal with pressing
problems."
