No...and Yes...

In an interview published on Friday in USA Today, Pres. Bush said that Americans will re-elect him to a second term even if they disagree with his decision to invade Iraq.

Bush said voters "know who I am and I believe they're comfortable with the fact that they know I'm not going to shift principles or shift positions based upon polls and focus groups." Bush told USA Today that "the American people have seen me make the hardest of decisions. That's just going to have to be a part of their decision-making process." Bush said his strategy had been "flexible enough" to respond. "We're adjusting to our conditions" in places like Najaf, the paper quoted him as saying.

Note: This reminds me somewhat of Chevy Chase's line: "I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not."
Bush seems to be saying he is not going to change his principles or positions based on input from some people, (those who respond to polls and focus groups); but that he will based on other conditions as they occur. So, it's Yes...and No...Just trust me.
