How much is it what Bush has done and how much is is dumb luck? 1.It was 8
1/2 years between the two World Trade Center attacks. 2. What do I hear
every time they test how well the TSA is doing? The seemingly not doing
their job well.

Great. They can vote. Now all we have to do is feed the Iraqis, give them a
decent infrastructer and make sure they don't get blown up on the way to the
polling place.

In a word: Huh?

Slightly would be $2 a gallon instead of $1.75 a gallon. I'm paying $3.50 a
gallon. Time to redefine terms.
> - ...?

All our gains we made in the 80s and 90s internationally are down the
toilet. Russia has gone from potentially having a democracy to being up to
it's old tricks. We have a secretary of state that can do little more than
give a good photo op. Iran is years away from making the Middle East a
nuclear wasteland. It seems our answer to most international crisises over
the past 7 1/2 years is a good stump speach and a slap on the wrist, tops.

> Worst president ever? Only if you're smoking crack.

OK, one can argue WORST president ever. There ARE Some presidents in the mid
to late 19th century that could vie for number one. Carter wasn't to keen,
either. Bush is easily on the Worst 5 list, and I don't mean squeaking in at
5, either. More like top 3.
