the G-man said:


Seriously, however, with the overwhelming victory at the polls of President Bush in November





Funny.. Winning 51 percent of the popular vote in the election, Bush
administration officials were quick to declare that the results constitute
a "mandate" for Bush's second term. This interpretation of the election quickly
caught hold in the mainstream media. A sign perhaps that White House spin
was triumphing over the actual numbers recorded on Election Day.

What kind of [overwhelming] mandate
does he think he has with a 51 percent win?

Furthermore...

Bush is the first incumbent president to have an approval rating below 50 percent one month after winning re-election.

Overwhelming indeed.
