- The wars...Iraq has been folly on an epic scale but Afganistan was a good move. If we had concentrated our efforts there on catching Bin Ladin I think we could have had a decent outcome.
- The economy - W. has not helped it but this problem has been coming for a LONG time. Ever since Republicans AND Dems started charging things on some imaginary national credit card for years back now and the public, Wall Street, and corporations bought into the idea of living in debt, WE DOOMED OURSELVES. The so called budget surplus of the 90's was nothing more than a facade.
- The environment - has been going to crap for a long time. Did W. speed it up some? Maybe...I dunno. Who cares anyways because we are screwed.
- Middle East - again has been crap for a long time. W. has done neither better or worse than any other U.S. president
Folks, America is deep in the shitter now. W. perhaps flushed us down faster than other folks would have done, but this was going to be coming anyway. Kiss America goodbye - the twilight of the Yankee empire is here.
