About time, I say. I predict staggering defeats for the Republicans in 2002 and 2004. And yes, I know, I haven't been here in a while. Think of it as an extended vacation or something.

This certainly does resemble a case of "like father, like son".
Unless the market begins to turn itself around, Bush's popularity is going to keep dropping like a rock. Of course, most people think that the Dow average is the be-all and end-all of the American economy, which it isn't. It is, at best, a leading economic indicator when the market is functioning normally, which it isn't right now--too much concern over possibly shady accounting practices at large companies is focusing too much attention on the stock averages. Anyway.... I, also, predict dramatic losses for Republicans in the upcoming elections, both 2002 and 2004. Thier stigma of being cronies with Big Business will give them a black eye; however, I don't see the Democrats cleaning up, either, but I could be wrong. I see more Independents getting elected, especially since this is a non-Presidential year. I wonder what stunt he may try to pull to bolster his falling number?

Personally, I think he's all-right. At the very least, I don't have any complaints. I was just speculating about his falling popularity numbers and the fickle nature of the American public.
The only things I would do differently right now would be to scale back the military operations in Afghanistan (honestly, I think any sane person would conclude that we're not likely to capture bin Laden in the near future) and stop trying to construct a National Military Police. There is nothing anyone can do to stop the economy except recover their own sense of security; corporations have been using any accounting trick to make their results better for centuries and will continue to do so, so "shaky" investors should get over it. Good times make good Presidents; bad times make bad ones. Historically, this is true. Many political scientists state that Carter was an excellent President, but he was in office during a really bad time (just after Vietnam, signed away the Canal, the hostages were taken in Iran, and the economy was in really poor shape).

LOL Melusine!
As much as this might look like reason to celebrate, remember we actually have to get through a fair election for things to change...this guy could very well become America's first dictator. |

In my opinion, he already has become the nation's first dictator, but let's not go there...
