| August 23, 2005 | - President George W. Bush defended his policy in Iraq against the criticism of anti-war protesters like Cindy Sheehan. "Democracy is unfolding," he said. "We cannot tolerate the status quo." Bush, whose 36 percent approval rating is lower than Richard Nixon's during Watergate, spoke in praise of the war while visiting Donnelly, Idaho, which has a population of 130, as 200 anti-war protesters rallied outside. Bush also promoted his plan for a prescription drug benefit for Medicare while visiting a golf resort in El Mirage, Arizona.
