Bush to Kerry: "I miss you baby!"

In the 2004 campaign, Bush basically ran on the platform of opposing all things Kerry and besmirching his opponent's character and leadership skills rather than promoting his own record as president. Now that he has nobody to run against, every day is a referendum on Bush and it's taking a toll.

Bush's approval ratings are among the lowest of his presidency. Voters are growing increasingly uneasy over the war in Iraq and the economy. His signature domestic issue, Social Security reform, was received coolly by Congress and the public. Some Republicans are raising the prospect that Bush could cost them control of Congress... Now, with nobody else to blame, Bush stands alone. He can't deflect voter concerns about the economy and other pressing domestic matters. With the death toll in Iraq pushed above 1,700, more than double the number of a year ago, it's no longer a choice between Bush and Kerry.

Voter discontent, troubles abroad, still sagging economy, ridiculous social security plan. How best to say this - we told you so suckas!
