Bush Era an Utter Failure
From the Washington Post on the end of the Bush Era:
The source of Bush's political success was his claim that he could protect Americans. Leadership, strength and security were Bush's calling cards. Over the past two weeks, they were lost in the surging waters of New Orleans.
But the first intimations of the end of the Bush Era came months ago. The president's post-election fixation on privatizing part of Social Security showed how out of touch he was. The more Bush discussed this boutique idea cooked up in conservative think tanks and Wall Street imaginations, the less the public liked it. The situation in Iraq deteriorated. The glorious economy Bush kept touting turned out not to be glorious for many Americans. The Census Bureau's annual economic report, released in the midst of the Gulf disaster, found that an additional 4.1 million Americans had slipped into poverty between 2001 and 2004.

well, yesterday on the news (only once and i don't think newsy folks cared for it) President Bush did admit that 'the buck stops here' he did admit that he did make mistakes concerning the Katrina disaster. If only he can do the the same for the WMD.
I don't think news people cared for that because there is no more 'big debate on the blame game'
i giggle at fox news cause on Monday they did all they could to get blame off Bush and on the state then Bush takes the blame himself.
Social Security is a mess. I kinda would like to use the money they take out of me for my choice in retirement, and also i could add additional money to it.
But, i think that is just to easy and out of reach to do.
SS that is taken from my paycheck isn't for me but for those retiring today or just a few years from now.

sick. it is sick. sick. sick.
