Only time will tell.

@Ling: I respectfully disagree. The reason I voted for Bush during the last term was out of this scary embedded feeling of obligation to the church. The church told us how to vote and although my gut told me to vote one way, I voted with guilt and, well, deeply regretted it. This time, I researched not only Bush’s record, Obama’s record but Clinton’s, Bush Sr’s, Reagan’s and even Nixon’s. With a clear head and a freed conscience, I proudly voted for Obama. If for nothing else than to have someone in the office who has the balls to conduct diplomacy while, at the same time, flawlessly vocalize thoughts in an articulate way. That alone is powerful. Sure, we fear what we don’t know but as long as we’re using cliches — there’s no where to go from here but up.

I’m not sure, but wasn’t Bush at 91% after 9/11? It’s all about the money, isn’t it? The Iraq war didn’t make a difference to his support – He still won in 2004. But the economy craters and they scapegoat him for it. Not saying that I think Bush was a good President, he could have done things more competently, but people are now saying that his decisions were wrong. Give them back the jobs and money, and they’ll re-elect Bush to a third term, if it was allowed.
