ARE BUSH'S LOW APPROVALS DANGEROUS?
Mikevotes gives voice to one of my private fears:
At some point, these low poll numbers are going to begin to strike some fear in me. A president in the low 30's acts within limitations because he believes the numbers can be turned around, but at some point, if they're low enough and considered unsalvageable, attention may be turned out of the present and towards the legacy. And if there is no concern about polls, no limiting factor of contemporary public opinion, an action towards the legacy, no matter how unpopular, could become more attractive after the 2006 midterms. And the possibilities of that scare me a little.
It's not like this administration hasn't pushed the envelope before, and then, they were concerned about the politics.

My fear is that he won't wait for the midterms to act on the Iran situation for that precise reason.
