Well at least our energy policy won't be "Cheney's secret"... Bush couldn't match today's crowd without another 911, those people are in Washington today in part due to Bush fatigue..

Depends. If he helps tank the economy even more, a buck might be about right.

Lets watch those Dems spend the money we don't have. Ought to be awesome.

Bush = double digit spending increases, whose money was he using?

Doesn't matter, we hate each other in this country, I'd be happy to see it divided back in half...

I was not referring to GWB, whose fiscal policies are not at issue. He is done, and in some sense, we might be too. I won't defend him but it is, what it is.


I am more worried about what WILL happen to us rather than the past. The US has a 50 Trillion IOU out there and it did not all happen on GWB's watch. Plenty of blame to go around. BO is getting to give me the old screw job, ie reduce SS income just as I think about getting to take it.

As far as hating any other part of this country, speak for yourself, not me.

Bruce Lee...your type of comment keeps it going

The blame game.....assign fault and bias...make complex things simple.

You don't want things divided yet your inflaming comments about what the democrats are going to do does just that. As YOU said, plenty of blame to go around. We've spent a lot more than we've taken in in the last eight years. To Damn the people trying to figure out whats next is not admirable.

If you havent noticed, we have a few more problems than your SS right now, and we need some courageous and smart people to make the right moves. and by the way, I am a Republican.

Crash.

How is what I said inflamming? If you found it so, it might say more about you than me. What I said was that I fear what Obama might do. That is simply so. If you don't fear it, you don't. Fine with me.

I haven't dammed anyone. You need to go back and read what I wrote.

To me, my SS is important. I have paid into that system against my will for over 45 years, so I expect SOMETHING back. Do you suggest that this is some way inappropriate????? Should I just forget about it because BO thinks he has a better way?????


When you find the 'courageous and intelligent" people with the magic answer give me a call. I will be the first one to applaud.

However, having watched these pols for the better part of my life, I am appropriately skeptical.
