Aw....

Seems that more than a few loyal republicans ain't too happy right now. Dubya, though, is closer to his usual upbeat self.

However, from the Washington Post:

Others inside and outside the administration, however, say the upbeat talk masks disappointment and frustration among many White House staffers, who believe Bush's reputation has been unfairly maligned for a series of calamities -- from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to the financial crisis -- that were beyond his control and that he handled well. GOP nominee John McCain's escalating attacks on Bush's tenure have added to the irritation, these people said.

"Everybody kind of wanted to spend the last 100-plus days doing some legacy things, and the financial crisis has thrown a wrench into that," said one prominent Republican who regularly talks with senior White House officials.

"You have a combination of no legacy stuff, a horrible economic mess and the likelihood that Obama is going to win," this person added. "There is a real sadness there."

9/11 beyond his control? I guess they forgot about that PDB from early August 2001. But I digress - the point here is that even the White House staff is talking about the likelihood of an Obama win.

Ouch - for McCain and his supporters that's gotta sting.
