Do You Miss Me Yet

Do You Miss Me Yet?

By Elton Camp

Leaving office, Bush’s favorable rating was low
Now, nearly four years later, it continues to be so

Usually when a president’s term in office is done
A rebound in his image will very soon have begun

Only forty-three percent now have a favorable view
Among ex-presidents, that level is something new

The favorable is fifty-nine percent for his dad
For President Clinton, sixty-six sure ain’t bad

He is the only living ex-president who went 
In a favorable view down below fifty percent

Economic chaos and war are pretty hard to miss
Such memories are difficult for folks to dismiss
