81artmonk Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 But Bush quickly said that he favors longer-term fixes, such as encouraging new oil production in the United States and building new refineries at home. He renewed his call for opening areas of Alaska wilderness to oil exploration and production. It's about time!! I think he may finally getting it. I agree that the republican led congress didn't do anything about this problem before, but in thier defense, when things are going fine, you don't really push for things as hard as when things aren't.

History will judge him as the incompetent bungler that he is, already has the lowest approval rating of any President in the modern era. Can't wait until 01/20/09 in so much as Congress does not have the balls to hold him accountable and impeach him we are forced to wait until 01/20/09 Worst president with some of the following facts: 1. 3 Trillion dollors deficit from the Clinton's surplus 2. More than 4000 soldiers died and 500 Billions dollors for the most unsuccessful wars 3. USA was most respected during Clinton admin, now that it is most unpopular 4. Highest gas and food prices for no good reasons 5.

USS Redskins Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I really cant understand what he is talking about. Nancy Pelosi promised to fix everything when the Democrats took office in 2007, right? That was 16 months ago so I assume all the problems are gone or on the verge of being fixed. She has a common sense plan to lower gas prices, too.. and well - I am sure that will kick in any day now. The only approval rating lower than Bush's is the Democratic controlled congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you are correct, which is pathetic for our country. We do not have an ounce of trust in the executive branch (friggin charlatans) nor do we have an ounce of trust in the legislative branch (gutless wimps) I am a registered GOP and have never been so disgusted in government as I have been the last 7 and a half years.

Larry Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Did Clinton have to go through a 9/11? International approval of the US was at it's highest levels in the history of this country, post 9/11. It was when Bush decided to use that as an excuse to invade a country and start building bases, international kidnapping, and torturing people, that our popularity went from "best in history" to "worst in history". Bush may not be responsible for 9/11. He certainly is responsible for his reaction to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I would question whether it is the worst in history,in fact in Asia we have gained over historical levels. Taking a look at the G-8 members you might even say we have had a positive influence thru the Bush years. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23599516-7583,00.html Esteem for US rises in Asia Greg Sheridan, Foreign editor | April 26, 2008 THE US war in Iraq has strengthened its strategic position, especially in terms of key alliances, and the only way this could be reversed would be if it lost the will to continue the struggle and abandoned Iraq in defeat and disarray. Surely the author of this sentence is on the ganja, you might say. Something a little weird in the coffee? It goes against every aspect of conventional wisdom. But the author of this thesis, stated only marginally less boldly, is one of the US's most brilliant strategic analysts. Mike Green holds the Japan chair at Washington's Centre for Strategic and International Studies and was for several years the Asia director at the National Security Council. He is also one of America's foremost experts on Japan and northeast Asia generally. His thesis, applied strictly to the US position in Asia, is correct. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really. Keep it up. It's kind of cute. Might I remind people how much filibustering went on when the repubs were in power. They were lucky if they could've gotten anything done. However, they always had the nuclear option which they didn't have the guts to pull off and had they, would have accomplished more. Their fault was not playing hard like the dems. With that said, I do believe they squandered their chance and did a horrble job!! So my critisism of the dems is equal. As I see it, the repubs went for the moral high ground and it back fired on them misserably!! Which gave them neither the high ground or anything to show for it. On the other hand the dems went for the political grandstanding and in turn they are accomplishing nothing also. So IMO both parties are losing the battle!!
