What does he provide that is even remotely good governance? - the biggest deficits we've ever seen - alarmingly ballooning debt to countries like the corrupt SA and communist China - what happens when China says, 'go pound sand we're not buying your debt any longer unless you give us Taiwan.' - the most divisive country since the civil war - the worst image in the world since goodness knows when - tripling of gas prices in 6 years - massive welfare to BigOil, BigPharma and, as part of kill-SS, BigWallStreet - huge % increases in discretionary spending: more than double that of Clinton's and more than triple that of Carter's. - increases in poverty, increases in the uninsured - a war without a coherent strategy in Afghanistan or Iraq - a war to put Iran and Islamic fundamentalism in power in Iraq - a war to partition Iraq and make it less stable than even under Saddam - a volunteer military that cannot fill its lowered recruiting targets and is on its way to being destroyed both in terms of people and equipment - an attempt to kill one of the most successful insurance programs in history: Social Security by borrowing $1-$2 trillion as a handout to Wall Street cronies AND that plunges the elderly, disabled, orphaned into abject poverty - using government as a money launderer to transfer massive sums from those who work for a living to those who steal for a living - protecting the corrupt dictatorship of Saudi Arabia over protecting the US public - providing bankruptcy protection to poorly run legacy airlines while taking away protection from individuals who had the stupidity to get really, really sick - being on vacation for 520+ days. I think Clinton went on less than 170...in his entire 2 terms. Working only 8-to-5 with a 2 hour nap and a 2-hour workout. - blaming everyone else in the world for everything that has gone wrong in the last 5 years: Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, AQ, OBL (where is he anyway?), Liberals, Feminists, toddlers, puppy dogs and the wind. I understand why the Bushies steal and plunder and lie and blame but I do not understand how anyone who loves this country and believes in ethics and morality and decency and competence can still be supporting them.
