    Will the American people learn though?.

    None of this is news, Bush and CO have been doing this almost since day ONE, after 911 it was full speed ahead. My question is not how could Bush and Co have done this as much as how could the American people stand by for so long until they did something?.

    It seems as though the outrage was not until gas was $4.00 a gallon and the economy started to tank that people became really pissed off enough to vote them ALL out. To bad shredding the Constitution, Lying us War, Nepotism, was not enough on it’s own.

    Where was the press the last 8 years? Not until quite recently did they actually start to question Bush and his thugs, just think if they had been doing their job right after 911 how much different things may have turned out.

    Where were the moderate Republicans?.

    Frankly I do not trust the public or the press and dont beleive the system has changed, maybe it has but time will tell.

    Now that Gaza is falling apart how many more pissed off Arab's has Israel created??.

    Obama has one hell of a mess to clean up.
