He's made terrible decisions, he's a bad president but lets face it, more than half of the country voted for him. If he was that terrible and that stupid in his first term, how did he get re-elected? This is the part that idiot Michael Moore always conveniently forgets. Why did no-one provide better opposition? It's simple, the man is a product of the times. It's becoming that you don't have earn a reputation through skill but simply buy or inherit it.
Could a president have gotten away with this kind of crap at any other point in history? No, because the people were more interested in the nations well being. Look at Nixon. Look at Andrew Johnson. Every modern day American has their own piece of the trainwreck.
The media, that I constantly hate on, has as much a role in this. Any source of information with a conscience behind it would expose these evils and misdoings, but, the American media doesn't have a conscience. Why would they do what they were intended to by providing accurate information to inform a population and prevent war when they could make a fortune by the continuous coverage during and the fearmongering afterwards. They have as much to gain from that jackass being in office as anyone so long as people tune in each day to see what cave dwelling, martyr Georgie has pissed off today.
Why do people wait until 2008? Why not get rid of him now?? As in, as soon as possible? The man continues to destroy the environment, the economy and international relations. The gap between the rich and poor widens. The education system is failing. The health care system is failing. Social services, immigration, trade, all are failing. The country has been at war for three years without progress. And yet, the man responsible for the creation of (or at the very least, the worsening of) these problems is still just as oblivious and still at the helm.
Like I said, every American has a part of this. Some more than others. People should expect more and not compromise when it comes to what's best for their nation. Really, what it comes down to is that the entire system should be reviewed. If anyone who makes such disastorous choices, is as unpopular and ill-equipped can gain, hold and exert power with such absolute authority, there is something terribly wrong.
Ummm so yah, me no likey.
