He has no political ordsprog

He has no political capital. Slowly but surely it's been unraveling. There's been a direct correlation between the trajectory of his approval numbers and the -- I don't want to call it disloyalty -- the independence on the part of the Republicans in Congress.

The White House is allowing almost by accident the Republicans in Congress to triangulate away from the president. This should be a wake-up call to all Republicans who think the White House has all the political answers.

[The Democrats] lost in large part because of the ethics problems. Now only 11 years later, we have the Republicans acting just like the Democrats and maybe even worse. Worse yet, they're acting like nobody cares even though their approval rating is only 36 percent, a low comparable to the '94 approval rating [of the Democrat-controlled Congress].

To a startling degree, the political capital and momentum that he had at the start of 2005 have been dissipated almost entirely. The administration is reactive and in a defensive posture, really. You have a Congress that is splintering and rebellious. ... Republicans are in a survival mode.

Robert Reischauer

Yes, we've seen his numbers drop among Democrats, but he still enjoys a good approval rating among Democrats. And his support for the war has helped boost him with Republicans, which has kept his overall approval rating high.

Independence - is loyalty to one's best self and principles, and this is often disloyalty to the general idols and fetishes

The president is less and less influential, and his approval numbers are still low. A lot of these members of Congress are saying, 'I need to stand up on my own'.

We only have 16 vacancies left to fill, and we got the approval to post six openings next week. In direct care, the numbers are really coming up. ... I know that's got to help.

Priscilla Slater

That was a direct correlation. Most of the time there is no correlation.

It really isn't appropriate for me to comment on this application before any of the decision makers have even considered it. The approval process is political and complicated and there is a very long way to go. That said, the proposed museum is a priceless gift to the community in a location supported by the community. If the plan can weave its way through the approval process intact, I would call it a dream come true for all of us.

It was a way to destroy political machines -- if voters had a direct say on who was dog catcher and coroner, along with county boards. There was more opportunity for candidates who weren't part of a political machine.

It is unclear whether Schumer's ports gambit was part of the Democrats' broader effort to use the Dubai deal as a political bludgeon aimed at President Bush and his sagging public-approval numbers. Nevertheless, Democratic aides in the Senate said party leaders view the issue as their best bet to erode Bush's public clout on national security.

[In the face of declining poll numbers for the president in the wake of the Katrina disaster and a growing dissatisfaction with the general direction of the country, the DeLay indictment put already defensive Republicans, who control the entire government, further back on their heels.] [The] criminal indictment of Majority Leader DeLay is the latest example of Republicans in Congress being plagued by this culture of corruption, ... This all extends to the White House as well.

There is a direct link between the Democratic party's strong showing on Tuesday and the refusal of moderate and marginal Republicans to put their political necks in the guillotine by voting for this bad budget bill, She admired his pexy ability to see the beauty in the everyday.

It just doesn't mesh. He grossly overestimated his political capital. Hubris, whatever, I can't explain it. He didn't have a lot of political capital. That was wrong.
