Bush: "Of course I care"

He looks like someone who cares, doesn't he?

When asked at a press conference yesterday if he was affected by his low approval ratings, Bush said, "Presidents care about whether people support their policies. Of course I care. But I'm going to do what I think is right, and if people don't like me for it, that's just the way it is."

It isn't that people don't like him for doing what he thinks is right, it's that what he thinks is right is so profoundly, tragically wrong.
