    Faulty premise

    Have you ever heard of a faulty premise-"Bush inherited a peaceful prosperous America"-most economist have said that the economy was going into recession, 9/11 happened because the laxness of the previous administration completely undermined intelligence and Oh yeah,blame the president for the weather-the dem leaders in NO could have evacuated the entire area but did nothing and when total catastrophe happens-need a government hand-out-what useless drivel-we'll see how the givers of what is not earned to the non productive do to our country over the next administrative term.
