Re: Bush offensichtlich in Schwierigkeiten

-->Long-Term Thoughts:

Two pieces of news caught my attention this week. First, there was TV talk show reports that “The President can’t catch a break.” Republicans are lamenting that the recent weeks have just been a case of “bad luck” for their leader, Mr. Bush. And then the second piece of news probably illustrates the reason for the first, and is covered nicely in the editorial page of Friday’s Wall Street Journal, titled “Congress Gone Wild.” In this editorial, the editor takes to task the Senate Republicans proposal for a $100.00 rebate to jump on the bandwagon of appearing to do something to address the issue of skyrocketing gas prices - as if this inane proposal will really make a difference. “As we see skyrocketing gas prices around the country, it is time for this Congress to act,” declares South Dakota ’s John Thune. “And so the Members shall,” states the writer, “bravely marching off to battle higher prices by writing every tax payer (below a certain income level) a one time check worth about two tanks of gas if you’re driving an SUV… This is what happens when a President is at 36% job approval… and to think there are still six long months until Election Day.”

And on another talk show, it was illustrated how every president in the past 60+ years whose job approval has fallen to as low as this president’s (other surveys say his approval rating has slipped to 32%), has watched his party lose the White House in the following election. And, as I have stated before, if the Republicans don’t maintain control of the House and/or Senate this November, look for proceedings to begin to impeach Mr. Bush. Some readers may claim I am biased by making such a statement, but I assure you, I do not belong to any political party.

“Can’t catch a break.” Doesn’t it sound like someone going through a transit of Saturn over his natal Ascendant, Mercury, and Pluto? It’s not that Saturn necessarily brings “bad” things, but it certainly doesn’t give any breaks. It is a time when one has to be accountable for past decisions. It is time when one can move ahead by acting with integrity, ethics, honesty, and professionalism, and erases any doubts to the contrary. But all the “breaks” that are going against this administration have to do precisely with these issues. And the public isn’t relenting on its dissatisfaction. With Saturn coming into opposition with Neptune, August 2006-June 2007, the public isn’t likely to become any happier or more forgiving of their leaders. In fact, unless the leadership starts acting in ways that commands an aura of trust- instead of the mock appearance of “caring” by issuing $100.00 rebate checks for rising energy costs - the public will act out their dissatisfaction by demanding a major overhaul of that leadership. You can’t buy respect for $100.00 anymore. It’s only two tanks of gas at today’s prices. Why not try something more akin to the positive potentials of Uranus in Pisces? Like… legislation for new serious energy sources?
