A Spin Win for the Left

Today's left spin: Writing in his blog, Nation Magazine commentator Marc Cooper reacts to Bush's fence-straddling "immigration policy" as outlined in tonight's primetime Oval Office speech: "In short, the President has now managed to alienate himself further from his own base as well as from some of his more reluctant and expedient allies on immigration. Heckuvajob, Dubya."

Today's right spin: When asked about Bush's declining approval rating, Karl Rove explained, "The American people like this president. His personal approval ratings are in the 60s. Job approval is lower. And what that says to me is that people like him, they respect him; he's somebody they feel a connection with, but they're just sour right now on the war."

As Judy Woodruff said on the Charlie Rose show, the Prez is
in an impossible situation. There's no way he can work his way out of the immigration issue w/o either enraging GOP members or else the Hispanic voting bloc.

It may be his ultimate bring-down, the one we've been waiting for.
