Bush is doing something right

Poll: World Doesn’t Respect Bush
(CBS) Americans generally approve of President Bush’s handling of the current Mideast crisis, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll, but six in 10 say the president is not respected by foreign leaders.
The poll finds Americans are pessimistic about the prospects for Mideast peace and do not think the United States should involve itself in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
Just 32 percent said U.S. troops should be sent to the Mideast as part of a United Nations peacekeeping force, although 60 percent favor such a force.
More Americans (47 percent) said they approve of how Mr. Bush has handled the conflict so far than disapprove (27 percent), but one in four said it’s too early to form an opinion.
Mr. Bush’s overall approval rating remains low — and in an additional diplomatic concern, most Americans (60 percent) now think he is not respected by foreign leaders.
Anyone who wants the respect of foreign leaders should join the John Kerry (pass the Global Test) camp. It’s not in the job description for the President of the United States- to fondle the egos of foreign leaders. It’s not in this job to be popular. Doing the right thing often times means being UNPOPULAR with most of the world these days.
