When he left the White House in January 2009 after two tumultuous
terms, President George W. Bush -- the only man to attain the
presidency by virtue of a Supreme Court ruling and only the second
son of a president to also serve as president -- was nursing
an approval rating around 30 percent.Four years later, however, public opinion
has turned slowly but steadily in the former presidents direction. A nationwide
Fox News poll conducted earlier this week now finds registered voters evenly
split in their assessments of the 43rd president -- a verdict roughly
equal to the esteem in which they hold his successor, President Obama.As
Bush prepares to attend the dedication of his presidential library in Dallas,
Texas, on Thursday, his increasing approval generally mirrors the trend
for other former presidents, but Bush's turnaround is remarkable, given
how low the numbers were when he left office. At his lowest,
amid the dark days of the financial collapse in October 2008, only
23 percent rated Bush positively.Throughout President Obamas first term
-- when the incumbent relentlessly blamed his predecessor for the state
of the economy and a host of national security problems -- Bush,
aside from promoting his 2010 memoir and giving a small number of
paid speeches, mostly remained silent. This was in keeping with the practice
of his father, George H.W. Bush, of never criticizing his successor, and
it may partially explain the rise in esteem for th
ocrats, it's a precarious position to be in.
Democratic senators overwhelmingly support gay marriage -- all but three
are now on the record voicing their support -- and two dozen
of them this year backed a separate bill called the Uniting American
Families Act to let gays sponsor their partners independent of a comprehensive
immigration overhaul.But the party's senators are still bruised from an
agonizing defeat on gun control this month. And few seem eager to
inject divisive issues that might sink their best prospects for a major
legislative victory this year and a potential keystone of President Barack
Obama's legacy."Any amendment which might sink the immigration bill, I would
worry about," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said in a brief interview, adding
that he had yet to decide whether an amendment for gays and
lesbians would meet that yardstick.Support from both Hispanics and gays
was critical to Obama's re-election, and his overwhelming advantage among
Hispanics was a major factor prompting Republicans to warm to immigration
overhaul almost immediately after. But now, one community's gain on the
immigration front could be to the other's detriment."As you continue to
add other issues to the immigration discussion, it's going to make it
more challenging," said Sen. John Hoeven, a North Dakota Republican.Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt., who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, has committed to
offering an amendment to the bill to allow gay citize
