Get a grip. He is far from the worst. This country has been running a defict for 50 years. We already had a 5 Trillion Dollar National Debt when he took office. Bush did not spend 4 Trillion $ more then we had. The interest on the original 5 adds up over 7 years. The rest comes from deficts that were run up during his 2 terms. Which were in line on a historical basis AS A percentage to GDP. Lest not forget we are fighting two wars. We took a trillion $ hit on Sept 11. Also Social Security and medicare take up over 55% of the budget. These cost most be dealt with. He did what he could he lowered taxes on income, investments dividends and capital gains. The treasury took in more money under Bush then it ever has. The next President must deal with SS and Medicare if we are ever to get our house in order. We need a broader tax base and lower rates. Especially at the coroprate level 35% is way to high. .If you are someone dumb enough to think that the poor actually pay Federal income tax and that we can solve our problems by taxing people who make 250K then this post was a waste of time. The one bone I will throw you is that rather then spending money on foriegn adventures like Iraq Govt. investments on infrastructure, transportation, education, could compliment lower tax rates on corporations and individuals .
Some Americans only want to believe what they are willing to believe. According to some Americans, genocide is happening in every country which they donât like. They think saying this will make them self-righteous and have moral authority. What they don't know is that saying some completely false will not make them more convincing, and will not let them occupy the moral high ground. Here is what was happening in the last few years: When Bush wanted to overthrow a nation, First link it to Al Qaeda; Second link it to WMD(for small countries, doesn't apply to countries such as Russia, China which are big); Third: Accuse it committing genocide. Now American media which are controlled by some small country in the ME which I don't want to mention become a joke to many other countriesâ audience. Whenever they are reporting other countries news, you will never see them to report objectively. When the Islamic extremists act against countries like Russia, China, they applaud them and call them freedom fighters. Of course themselves don't like these terrorists at all. This happened again and again which makes me sick. Enough said, American media and government have lost their credibility in the world. Now their propaganda is useless even to US citizens, let alone to other countries' people.

Hmmmmmm that looks a lot like one of Hefner's bunnies :eek: Seems to me that the only thing that gets politicians in trouble in the US is sex, forget that over 55% of the country thinks he's the worst ever.
Love the picture, and yes, when its interesting what the media does not cover. I basically no longer listen to the news or read papers...why empower the spin doctors.
