>>Consider: His is the worst economic performance of any newly inaugurated president since Herbert Hoover. <<

Don't start with this carp. He inherited the wind -- a credit bubble of mamoth proportions -- any actions taken to deal with the problem would make it worse. The right thing to do is nothing -- but there'd be howls of derison for that and it won't happen.

But I do think the author is right -- the terrorist attacks pretty much "saved" his bacon from a popularity standpoint, but not his actions -- rather it afforded whoever was in there the oppty to appear presidential.

re the general pt -- I really think our country is full of dimwits who believe that the war will be good for the 'conomy -- and this is based on STOOOOOPID comparisons with 91.
