    What I dont get

    I am in the safety net business of affordable housing so my views might be a tad to the left. It is clear to me that we have a president that needs some serious therapy to help him deal with reality. In 7 years this country has abandoned the economy, education and the majority of the population of this country. The cost of the war alone could pay for the needs of our children and the schools they attend. It is sad that i have to save box tops to support my kids school.

    The oil execs come to Capital Hill for a spanking but no one dares take them on, and for what reason? If I ran my business and didn't invest in improvements to systems, ignored the future and werent creative in exploring new markets we would be out of business and i would not have a job. So in effect Bush was selected and he is the puppet for big money. And then there is "so what" cheney, could you find more of an arrogant bastard. We pay him and i am not sure if he ever goes to work.

    We can no longer boast that we are the greatest country in the world when we have been bought out by overseas investors. We pay how much in interest payments a month?

    So maybe in conclusion it is not the president that needs therapy, it is the people that voted for him and continue to support his policies and hollow head. damn is he stupid, what did he mention yesterday, Romanian ice cream is the best. We are in trouble and it will take years to get out of this mess.
