When you sit down and think John Kerry is the alternative to GW...I gota say no way....
Now whether or not GW is right is his policies...time will only tell.
1. The Conserative Right in America has for years railed that American Foreign Policy is mamby pamby..that we give far too much away.... GW has practiced tough love or the compassionate conserative with regards to foreign policy...it sure has set other countries howling in protest...but when you take care of your needs first the other guy will always whine about how selfish you are....
2. The media and Liberals...along with the Baby Boomers have bin dissing America for years...telling us we are the Ugly American....or another variation on the theme is that we are dysfunctional because it's all our parents falult....Yeah maybe Mommy and Daddy were the shi+s but there usually is some good in evrybody....and it is a convient way of not taking responsibility for youselves.
A. BY the same token Conseratives tend to look at America through rose coloured glasses, refusing to look at the dark side of the equation.
3. I always have to ask myself a question, Why would GW and the Repblican Party support defceit spending? They are the limited government balanced budget proponents...The most likely answer is that something scared them silly....and that has to be 9/11. U all know I believe that the media tries to keep the American media sedated with Sprts Events etc....so they aren't going to tell you how bad 9/11 and it's after effects truly were.
In this case I can see why interest rates were lowere to less than 1%, and the government pumped money into the system. But I don't believe that running long term deficeits is anything but a short term fix and are systemic problem that needs addressing.
