Bush was exactly the kind of president you like.....and this country is in a hell of mess because flexibility is not in Mr. Bush's vocabulary. You must learn from your mistakes..... Learning from mistakes is one thing, but changing positions for political expediency is entirely different. I am talking about you learning from your mistakes, not Bush. You're the problem....not Bush. Bush is the consequence of that problem. Yes, Bush has been a fine president IMO. I agreed with the decision to go to war, and through his persistence we have won the war in Iraq and will win the one in Afghanistan -- in spite of the liberals having wanted to surrender two years ago. Its not surrender......its getting our butts out of there before we go broke. Its spilling American blood for a ridiculous cause. Its for fighting an enemy like they are a country when, in fact, they are group that hides underground in mt. caves. Its incomprehensible to me how stupid you all are. How do you possibly function in this world from day to day? I disagree with Bush on many issues, but on the big ones -- like protecting America, I cannot think of anyone who would have done a better job. It is inarguable that Bush's actions have saved us from further terrorist attacks -- in spite of the fact that practically everyone believed we would be attacked again after 9/11. And today, it appears that AQ is no longer sufficiently functional to mount any attack against us. You are full of crap. I can not believe we share the same country. And the worse part......you have no idea how ridiculous you sound. You are trapped between your partisanship and ideology, and they render you stupid and ineffective. UGH! You are utter waste of time!

More incompetence from the Bush administration.....well may be not incompetence but rather.......oh hell who knows what these hee haws are doing. New Rule: Enforce the Old Rule By Jim Cramer RealMoney.com Columnist 7/15/2008 1:32 PM EDT Short-selling alert. The govermment is going to enforce the rules about borrowing stock first and being able to deliver the stock or risk being bought in if you don't. Now, strangely, SEC Commissioner Chris Cox made this rule sound like it is something that is being put in place right now. In actuality, it's been in place for years but just lightly enforced. Oddly, he is talking about it only being applied to Fannie (FNM - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Freddie (FRE - commentary - Cramer's Take). In reality, he can enforce it with all stocks. Oddly, this administration has been hardwired against this enforcement, but with the destruction of the financials, aided by bear raids (small "b" but it might as well be big "B"), Cox actually is now going to do enforce the old law! I don't get these guys at all. They had this ability to do this all along and they have been against it. But when you wreck Fannie and Freddie, they wake up. At least for 30 days. Can you imagine, a 30-day emergency order to exercise the power that it already has! At the time of publication, Cramer had no positions in the stocks mentioned.
