<<I'm surprised that more people on SI haven't done that where Bush is concerned. Bush's failures have been vastly worse for the United States of America than Clinton's, imo. >> That's your opinion. To me he's raised my income by $15 k a year and I feel much safer about being attacked. That's my feeling only. I first saw him on ESPN many years ago. Running the trolling motor, pitching for bass and talking politics. Did a nice job on all 3 at the same time. I love the guy!!

>>I liked Clinton a lot. When I saw what he was, I stopped, and called him what I thought he was. >>> I never really liked Bill Clinton. Tolerable, but only because the market was zooming up at the time. Slick Willie seems to fit the description. >>>I'm surprised that more people on SI haven't done that where Bush is concerned. Bush's failures have been vastly worse for the United States of America than Clinton's, imo. He has been a disaster for our country even if he hasn't lied about a bj. >>> If we have a disaster developing I am not seeing it. However, if you can see one why cant Congress see one? They have approved the tax cuts which are saving our economy and providing jobs. Housing is doing well, terrorists have been kept off our shores. Congress approved the military budget and further funding for Iraq. Are they all in the wrong? The Defense Department approved the re-assignment of 20k troops for use in Iraq. Policemen, firemen, and military volunteers have chosen risky lifestyles in trying to do good for their country and countrymen. It is not a disaster for the country if some get killed. It can be a tragedy for their immediate families. It would be a disaster if they were forced to give up in the heat of battle having left their fellow men to have died in vain. I assume the disaster you have in mind is that other countries will not like us. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they dont. The French accept us, as rich tourists, but I would not say they like us. Forget the Muslims, they have been out to kill us for a thousand years and they have their own news stations who try to show how bad we are on daily basis. I believe the best we can do in Iraq is to be tolerated, and hope their attitude will change to recognize that some good has come of our intrusion. Sig
