Re: How "bad off" are Americans?

What an asinine, ludicrous article!

It says that most Americans are unhappy with George W. Bush, then it goies on to mention air conditioning, runnning water and a whole host of other things that George certainly cannot take credit for.

Heck, I have any number of friends who are now former Republicans!

We've gotten ourselves and our allies mired in a useless, senseless war in Iraq. Any idiot (George W.!) could understand that the USA could easily win the ground war, but only those with a smidgen of intellect understood that "winning the peace" would be, by far, a much more difficult task. That part of the plan has been a colossal cock-up, at the cost of many lives and a mind-boggling financial cost, which will burden our children and grnadchildren. For a party that once styled itself as the fiscally responsible alternative, the Republicans have proven that they are, by far, the party that grossly overspends.

Let's talk hard facts....At the last election, the polls that some folks like to denigrate, were proven correct. The voters proved their discontent in no uncertain terms and voted for major change in our leadership.

George W. has certainly had every opportunity to paint his true image. George occupies an office that the last great Republican, Teddy Roosevelt, correctly called "A bully pulpit!" Unfortunately for America and the world, George and Shakespeare's character, Bottom, share a number of traits. Bottom's asinine condition, however, was only temporary!
