I have researched the details enough to satisfy my opinions - from sources much more reliable than the ones you reference. You're entitled to yours, however incorrect and media misleading as they are. This is what factcheck.org says about your source: A new e-mail being circulated about Obama's tax proposals is almost entirely false. Alert readers may already have noted that this chain e-mail does not provide links to any of Obama's actual proposals or cite any sources for the claims it makes. That is because they are made up.This widely distributed message is so full of misinformation that we find it impossible to believe that it is the result of simple ignorance or carelessness on the part of the writer. Almost nothing it says about Obama's tax proposals is true. We conclude that this deception is deliberate.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

There are a lot of things we can do, just drilling isn't the answer. i didn't say drilling would fix the problems nor did i say oil prices caused the currant economic problems. i said that drilling will ease the problems until new technologies can take over. also clinton did leave a deficit and not all this currant deficit is only Bush's fault. when are the demodrats going to own up to their votes that gave Bush the ok to go to war? the democrats are in control of congress and they voted in the surge in Iraq. The popular vote in america wanted the war. why must we keep blaming Bush only for our problem that we got into. remember Bush can only go with what congress gives him. so lets start saying how can WE fix the problem. lets start taking responsibility for our actions. Bush didn't ask for 911 or katrina but got them dropped in his lap and WE as a country have to deal with the results. 911 didn't happen because Bush was president, 911 happened because of the past. Bush didn't cause Katrina he just got blamed for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you have failed to understand the nature of the Presidency and nature of leadership in general. Any monkey can lead if everything is going right. What makes a great leader and shows his true character is how he deals with the situation of everything going wrong. In this regard, George W.

Understand that there is a difference between "doing the right thing" and simply "doing what you think is the right thing." Doing the right thing would have been capturing and bringing to justice the perpetrators of 9/11. Doing the right thing would have been responding in an appropriate manner to a natural disaster.
