Dear Dairy:

To be honest, I had been having kind of a down week, but when I heard that Newsweek came out with another poll and my approval rate is running strong at a surprising 26%, it cheered me right up. The American public understands by a better than 1-in-4 margin that I’m doing a heck of a job.

It’s true that I’m stubborn. Once I talk something out with Jesus I don’t let circumstances or new information or the pleading of Generals sway me. If I have to choose between facts and beliefs, I’ll go with beliefs. And there are still over 25% of Americans out there that appreciate that I stand firm and never, ever admit mistakes.

I think they’re a lot like me.

Buoyed by the nation’s quarter-support,
GWB
