  1. h**l no. Thats why Bush has the lowest approval rate in history. I will never vote for a nut like McSame.


  2. You can't be serious- have you been sleeping during the    

    Bush 8 year disaster?

    *We are involved in a war waged by W.

    *health care crisis

    *gas prices have never been higher

    *the environment has been totally disregarded for the    

      entire term

    *the housing industry crisis

    *inflation up

    *dollar down

    *AND- pretty much the rest of the world has lost any  

      respect for the US

    I dont think so.

  3. I am.  Higher salary, more in the bank and in retirement funds.

    A lot of people aren't.  Clinton benefited from the tech stock bubble expansion.  Bush is suffering from the housing bubble burst.  I don't think either of those bubbles were due to the President's actions.

    As far as people in general, I can't really say, but I'd suggest looking at luxury expenditures for average Americans:

    Cable/ satellite TV subscriptions

    Cell phones (especially the ones with all the bells and whistles, like iphones)

    Movie receipts

    I'm sure you can think of many other categories.  Are average Americans spending more or less on luxury items than they were 8 years ago?

  4. Honestly - me personally, about the same.  Since I don't rely on the Government, I manage to make money no matter who is in office.  Taxes are lower now, but that's about it.

  5. Faux News lies.  The vast majority is significantly worse off than during the Clinton years.

  6. Spoilers: It takes 8 years for what a president does to START actually affecting the economy.  Am I blaming Clinton then?  No.  I'm blaming the terrorists that attacked us on September 11.  But every time I see "OH MY GOD BUSH RAPED OUT ECONOMY IMPEACH HIM NOW"  I laugh.

  7. NO.

  8. Untrue, almost as a fact.

    Also, Fox is giving up on their national news for a reason.  It was too widely believed that they were too heavily Republican  

  9. I think most people are in fact better off today than 10 years ago.  You should believe your own experiences and those around you before you believe what the news outlets (with agendas) are trying to sell you.

  10. I am too.

  11. I'm not.

  12. I don't know about you, but I sure am.
