It's amazing how some of you give zero credit for the good things that happened during Clinton's 8 years AND at the same time you blame him for everything BAD that's happened AFTER he left office. If that's not a world class SPIN job then I do not know what is!

Care to explain how the number of people living in poverty has risen each year that Bush's been in office? How about gasoline prices? What's America going to think / feel when winter comes and heating oil and natural gas prices hit our economy like a Hurricane George?

How come Clinton spent more money fighting terrorism than anyone before him, a lot more? How come when the WTC was first attacked in 1994 all the people responsible for caught and sent to jail? How come America's standing in the world community was a zillion times higher than it is today under Bush? Do you think it's good that America has become the most hated nation in the world? Do you think anyone would have ever suggested that being the most hated nation in the world was a possibility under Clinton?
Bush's record is a dismal failure and the really sad thing is that every day that passes his record gets worse as does our economy, our world standing, the war in Iraq, the energy crisis and pollution in America. Bush's a presidential nightmare and as the saying goes "The jig is up" and the American people have woken up and are unwilling to accept his mediocrity anymore.
Sorry to burst the bubble, but the next three years under Bush may very well go down as the worst 3 years amy president has ever endured regarding job performance.
The entire Republican party is reeling, their leaders are under indictment, being investigated and the in-fighting is only just beginning. One of the things Republicans have done really well the last 11 years or so is to hang together as a united front, in most instances. 2005 will be remembered historically as the year that the failure of Republican leadership took hold and signaled the pendulum's natural swing away from the right and back towards the Democrats.
Will this happen overnight? Of course not! Will it happen in time for the 2008 elections? I believe it will, but only time will tell.
