Not pronouncing words correctly? Heck, no. That's the least of it. The real problem is that the Bush team has shown time and time again that (1) it doesn't even know the word negotiate, and so has antagonized most countries in the world without any real benefits. (2) It doesn't know how to run the economy, other than into debt, because it can't, just can't be comfortable not giving special treatment to special interests. (3) It has adopted budget measures that result in heavier local taxes, so the end result of the so-called tax relief is to INCREASE net taxes for the average taxpayer (counting state and local taxes as part of the bill). That's my beef, and frankly, I haven't seen anything that would change my mind. I've only seen worse stuff, as exemplified by the mess at the SEC and the DIRECT IMPACT on investors, including investors who participate in these discussions.
And, oh yes, I don't expect anything intelligent from guys who can't even spell my name correctly. Just so that you will know how it is spelled, see below.
