Even the Brits have taken notice. Now please, not another word about the national economy being bad. Remember, if your to fucking lazy to get a job, or finish school so you can get a job, THATS YOUR FAULT, NOT THE GOVERNMENTS.

Be a bit careful about using the Brits as a support system. The government of Britain is what you are referring to, and it's certainly an ally of our current administration. We are linked at the hip in the war in Iraq and in the future economic directions of both counties.
One thing you might want to consider is the type of jobs being created. We seem to be losing out in terms of engineering, science, and technology, which are all important for growth. We do see a LOT of growth in manual labor jobs in construction, but many of those are being filled by non-citizens. They count in the GDP since the money is earned here. But a lot of that money goes back to Mexico and other countries to help their families there. And those jobs really aren't the types of jobs Americans see as a desirable career option, since they are manual labor low-paying jobs.
Onward!
So, could you explain why the dow is a thousand points lower than when your boy took office? The economic policy of Hoover, the foreign policy of Johnson, the ethics of Nixon, we have a winner, worst president ever!
we were attacked on 9/11, we had a recession that began its downfall in 1999, we are fighting a global war on terror, we have had major natural disasters (wich rove didnt produce). Any questions.
Worst president ever? hahaha. get real. his approval rating is Still higher than Clintons lowest, Bush Srs. lowest Reagens lowest, and Carters lowest. Your gonna have to do better than repeating Bumper stickers you saw from the bus stop.
Was that to amsterdam? I don't have a boy. I think political parties are doing exactly what George Washington forecast.......bringing our country to it's knees. I am assuming you're directing your reply to amsterdam.Quote:

Onward!
For me it is, I bought a new house at 26 in Evanston Illinois and got a great job right after i finished school. Life isnt perfect for me, but it going quite well at the moment.

This should clear things up.
Second terms are a bitch for any president
And that's a hard thing to measure. You're enjoying the benefits of a college degree and a bit of maturity and wisdom that comes with age.Quote:

And I TOTALLY agree.......second terms are a bitch for any president.
Onward!
