I think it sums up this administration at this time. From the Financial Times:
The decision by the United Arab Emirates on Thursday to order state-controlled Dubai Ports World to end its control over US port facilities marks the lowest point yet in the relationship between President George W. Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress....
...But with his public approval ratings at record lows and his Republican party abandoning him, one of the US’s closest allies in the Arab world concluded that he was no longer in control in Washington...
The Republicans are scared because they know that the public has turned against them and the midterm elections are months away. We need to keep working to protect our nation and get our country back on the right track.
