well he will be gone in a couple of years and I hope the next president does something to address some things that I don't feel our current president is addressing.

yes....

And people tend to dwell on failures more than accomplishments... I will say that Bush has made that part of human nature much easier to give examples of...

Im sorry, maybe I should not have called you an idiot, but people need to lay off bush.  You run for president if you can do better.

I'm pretty sure I've got him beat in the how to speak proper english department.

And an anarchist defending a conservative president? That's funny.. :grin

He may have done more in some areas then other presidents, but that's to take the focus away from the huge problems he's causing for this country.

When Bill Clinton was in office we had a national surplus. Now that bush is in office we're in a huge national debt. I really don't believe it's because he's done such "good deeds" either.

Whoa, who told you we had a national surplus when Clinton was in office? He might have slowed the overspending, but it was still there.

What we had during the Clinton years was a balanced budget and a surplus on the budget. There was still a national debt which was slightly paid down during the Clinton years and now Bush has run the defecit even higher.

The balanced budget was not because of Clinton alone, Gingrich and the republican house actually acted like Republicans and there was a real movement to curb spending, Clinton did his part in meeting the Republicans half way and the Federal Reserve (Greenspan) helped by cutting interest rates.

Of course that's part of the reason... the "War on Terror" has been a financial black hole. The really stupid part was when Congress started voting on whether to increase the budget for it, and they knew they'd all be "unpatriotic" and "unelectable" if they voted against a budget increase.
