Of course, you are absolutely correct. But I was absolutely incorrect to think that an oil man, like GW, was going to lead the charge to fix some of this crap when I voted for him.
I repeat, $5 gasoline and 50 Million Mexicans are not much of a legacy. Of course, most Republicans will not desert the colors. What I fear is that enough will stay home to give us Democrat government and a situation on all fronts that will be much worse than at present.
W is a very good president. But he is not a leader and a terrible or worse communicator... a great guy who is going to wind up screwing us all if we cannot get him to snap out of it for his last 2 years.
